    Nonsense, he absolutely battered him to the body. Granted there were few head shots because inactive Abraham stays hiding behind a guard for most of his fights. If he was so harmless Abraham would not have been backed up on multiple occasions.

    Stieglitz doesn't deserve another fight either, he's 2-1 and done. These guys shouldn't even be fighting for a world title, they're like 4th or 5th best in the division.

    People here note AA is past his prime, but havent noted that he has not been a factor at SMW at all, has no top SMW wins and has not looked impressive at the weight.
    In fact what is AAs big MW win?
    I guess a close debateable win over Steiglitz would be his SMW highlight, yet in the previous era just under a decade ago, Steiglitz was being stopped by Andrade who prime Kessler clearly dominated

    Abraham needs his Germany like sven needs his fatherland and joe needed wales to win. what a joke. AA, Ottke and Joe Cal would all have multiple losses if it wasn't for their cheating.

    but the real issue in this fight was the scorecard, which was in reality a knife edge split decision, not a landslide win for Abe Sapiens. I would say AA took it by a hairs whisker split decision, perhaps as little as one point. If the decision had gone a point to Smith, I'd be ok with that too obvuiously.

    But this german/brit/other/home cheating scam has gone on too long.
