    The WBO has declared that Arthur Abraham is now the mandatory for Robert Stieglitz.

    This is a competitive matchup, in my opinion. Abraham was at his best at middleweight, but at 168 is still a dangerous puncher. Stieglitz isn't an elite fighter, but he appears to have improved over the years.

    Who will win this?

    Probably Stieglitz, but it could be fairly even.

    Stieglitz UD. All he has to do is make AA turtle up with combinations early, then use lateral movement and timing to counter AA when he gets in his "I need to land a bomb to win" mode later.

    I think it will be a competitive fight, with either Stieglitz winning by decision or Abraham winning by KO/TKO.

    A late KO by Abraham with Stieglitz ahead on the cards is a likely outcome.

    Unfortunately for AA the blueprint is out and readily available, his trainer is simply not good enough to expand his game.

    No, his trainer is one of the best in the world.

    Considering Abraham's limited talent and atheticism, Wegner has done an amazingly good job with him.

    where's it taking place. Maybe Abraham can get schooled again and win by a shutout

    In all honesty... Wegner... sucks..

    He had some decent fighters.. and is good at getting them in shape,, but in terms of technical skills and strategy... he is a disaster..!!!

    Depends it 's 50/50 Steigletz was Ko'd by the bigger Andrade who just manhandled him and beat his ass. Berrios is a sick puncher. and both are bigger. if he stands in like he tends to do AA by KO . if he boxes and uses his size Steiglitz by SD

    If AA goes back to his tactics of laying on the ropes and waving his opponent in then it will be an AA win because the fix will be in.
