Arthur Abraham - Will the Silent Assassin Strike Again?
By Joseph Herron: While the rest of the boxing community is still
buzzing about current Middleweight kingpin Sergio Martinez, Super Six
contender King Arthur Abraham is patiently waiting for his chance to
achieve worldwide recognition as one of the `baddest men on the
planet'. Although the Armenian native has accomplished a great deal in
the world of boxing, the figurative title of `mainstream glory and
worldwide respect' continues to elude King Arthur.
Outside of the `squared circle', Abraham appears to be and genuinely
is one of the nicest and most pleasant people you will ever meet, not
just in the world of boxing, but in the entire planet. Inside the
ring, a very different version of Arthur Abraham quietly plans the
inevitable destruction of his next victim. He has truly earned the
moniker, `Silent Assassin'
On October 17th, 2009, Jermain Taylor had high hopes for a Super Six
Tournament victory in Berlin, Germany. Unfortunately, `Bad Intentions'
not only lost the fight by way of knockout, but his promoter and
possibly his boxing career as well...at the hands of Arthur Abraham.
On March 27th, 2010, Andre Dirrell was scheduled to face King Arthur
in the second round of the Super Six in Dirrell's hometown of Detroit,
Michigan, USA. The American fighter earned a victory and became the
first fighter to ever defeat Arthur Abraham. But Andre's short lived
triumph quickly turned sour when it was discovered that he may never
be able to fight as a professional boxer again due to a disqualifying
punch by the German based pugilist. A vicious, career ending right
hook on the jaw of another American hopeful...at the hands of Arthur
Abraham.
On Saturday, November 27th, 2010, tough British fighter and former
Super Middleweight Champion, Carl `the Cobra' Froch enters the arena
opposite Arthur Abraham in Helsinki, Finland, for the vacant WBC Super
Middleweight title. Should `the Cobra' be leery that he can finish the
fight on his feet? Is the British fighter aware that Abraham's last
two opponents have been possibly punched into retirement? The outcome
of this fight is entirely up to Froch.
If Froch exploits his height and reach advantages, he could win a 12
round UD. The Cobra absolutely must keep Abraham on the end of his
punches and continually use the entire ring, while fighting the self
proclaimed king at angles. If he fights a disciplined and intelligent
fight, Froch can advance to the semifinals with a decisive victory.
But, will he?
Prediction: Froch will have his way with Abraham in the early rounds
of this fight, but will get baited into trading punches in a fire
fight and get knocked out in the 6th round. Froch's toughness and
heart will be his undoing, and Abraham will prove to be one of the
hardest punchers, pound for pound, in boxing today.
