Stieglitz will have to be on his game defensively

There is a first time for everything I suppose:yep

I think AA is going to KO him late

All 2 of us?:yep
I've already touched on it. Stieglitz makes for entertaining matches but the dude fights with his opponents glove on his jaw. Abraham packs a lot bigger bang than Stieglitz previous foes (even at this weight). I just don't think Stieglitz has the speed, height, jab, footwork and everything else to stay out of harms way for too long. I think it'll a fun fight though.

Im seeing it on a lot of the forums mate, seems to me Arthur is the sizable favorite. But fair enough, we'll see :yep

Stieglitz at 5/2 if you fancy a flutter bud!

I mean AA took a beating from Dirrell and Froch but both were taller guys and were very good at keeping him at arms length. I just can't see Stieglitz doing that. He's getting his chin tested thats for sure. Maybe it'll hold, maybe not but it's going to be fun finding out:hey

Stieglitz in defeat takes kudos. From the 1st AA, was getting home and he still kept working. Great fight.

Pity you know the result now. When AA started getting through in the first round (yes AA took the first!) I thought there is no way this is going the distance. Stieglitz is a maniac. He just kept attacking Arthur all while getting hit by AA's best punches. Very competitive fight.

Oh and be prepared for some truly horrendous commentating by the Boxnation team:ughh

Pity it wasn't on SKY. Watt would have broke his record for saying "Bang on the Chen":yep
