Robert Stieglitz vs. Henry Weber & Arthur Abraham vs. Pablo Farias & RBR

Round 4

Stieglitz is hooking away hard, bombing Weber from either side. Weber is steadily jabbing into Stieglitz's face as he comes with both arms spread wide for the attack. Both landing, Stieglitz obviously heavier. Stieglitz leans in against Weber and shoves him back, then flurries into his chest. Jab, jab, right, hook by Stieglitz from mid-range. Weber tries a wide hook and gets blocked. Now a 1-2, blocked. Stieglitz jab, jabs, hooks -blocked. They take turns trading 1-2's and blocking. Weber jumps forward with a jab and Stieglitz backs up to the ropes. They lean together and Stieglitz reaches down to tap up at the belly. Weber lands a good jab, and then a pair of uppercuts to the face. Now a left hook to the face by Weber. More jabs by Weber. The challenger is doing really well this last minute. Right hand, left hook by Weber as Stieglitz tries to lean on him. Brief flurry by a tired Stieglitz, then a right hand from outside before leaning back in.

40-36 Stieglitz

 

& Axel Schulz.

It's a smörgåsbord for 90's German boxing fans. :yep

 

Funny, there are people saying Stieglitz can wear down and stop Weber and people saying Weber can wear down and stop Stieglitz.

I see a Stieglitz UD as inevitable; the only question is whether Weber makes it close and the cards are fair.

 

Round 5

Stieglitz is landing good jabs and rights while backing up to set range. Weber is just walking into shots even though he's covering up. Stieglitz is very accurate with his mostly straight punches. Weber is just plodding on, his face turning ever redder (and purple in some places). They lean together and Weber tries to hack and slap at him up close but hasn't got any leverage. Stieglitz taps the body, leans in, pushes off and steps back, and throws jabs and rights. Trickles of aggression from Stieglitz. Big combo of hooks crashing through and around the gloves. Weber juts stands and takes his lump as Stieglitz flurries away. Weber tries a jab as Stieglitz steps back. Big uppercut by Stieglitz, rocks Weber's head up.

50-45 Stieglitz

 

Round 6

BIG uppercut from outside by Stieglitz. Vicious 1-2-1-2 from mid-range by Stieglitz. The champ putting a lot on his shots now. Weber is still dutifully blocking but offering little in return. Stieglitz is caught on the brow with a jab while ducking in but otherwise getting touched very little, leastwise with power punches. Stieglitz leans in and Weber obliges him by pressing in with his own chest and shoulders. They separate and Weber lands a glancing right. Stieglitz drops his left arm and dives in to lean again. He smothers Weber up against the ropes. Big looping right around the gloves by Stieglitz. Left, and another looping right by Stieglitz. Weber is just waiting for Stieglitz to fall atop him and leaning into him. Now Weber opens up with a combo, landing an uppercut on the inside. Body hook by Weber, and another uppercut as they lean together. 1-2 by Stieglitz. Another, into the gloves but forcing Weber a step back. Weber ducks a 1-2 but is hit with an uppercut to the chin as he leans into Stieglitz. Left hook to the body by Stieglitz.

60-54 Stieglitz
