He gave it as with his two previous appearances America a very faint idea from. “I would not look for excuses, today was not my day, I’m very sorry,” said the visibly disappointed Berliner by choice.
The 17 000 spectators sold out hall, the famous boxing stage in the MGM Grand Garden Arena, where once already Evander Holyfield and Mike Tyson fought – all this has nothing to do with his weak appearance, stressed the 36-year-old. “This was my 49th fight, I’m experienced enough. But Ramirez was just a bit more flexible and more active – that’s it, “concluded Abraham. The native Armenians had in Mecca land of boxing after similar pale appearances defeat conceded against the Americans Andre Dirrell and Andre Ward in 2010 and 2011. ‘/ P>
entered As time the once dreaded because of its impact hardness protégé of Ulli Wegner also against Ramirez passively, looked very static, dare hardly on the offensive – and lost deserves. The loudly expressed beforehand America ambitions faded into nothingness. “We wanted to make a statement, but it did not work,” said promoter Kalle Sauerland. A so listless, almost exclusively defensive occurring Box Oldie want to see in America no one.
Abraham punched from the outset timid and indecisive. In the second round he cashed a hard right hook to the head. “Arthur, you have to go in, one, two and out again,” cried before the final round to coach Wegner. At this time, it was already clear that Abraham only can a knockout to defend his title. The final offensive failed to materialize. The three referees gave Ramirez all rounds -. Clearly it could hardly
He was “totally disappointed,” said Wegner, who initially did not want to talk, then however, was virtually unstoppable. “We need not take long to discuss. This was not a performance that deserves Arthur, “was the coach. As the media questions to Abraham about the reason for his poor performance it became annoying, Wegner presented even their own items up for grabs. “If we are looking for a cause, then we have to start the trainer.”
What’s next after the fifth defeat in the 49th fight with Abraham, could spontaneously nobody say. He would “give everything and come back one hundred percent”, the Professional announced. Sauerland described his protégé as “fighters” who have made it even more, to come back up. And that’s what you expect from him now.
