Bad Left Hook, Global Boxing News and Commentary

But not in a good way. Abraham was pulled over in his Ferrari doing 231 km/h (about 144 mph) in a zone where the speed limit was 80 km/h (about 50 mph). Local authorities say that's the fastest speed anyone's been pulled over for on that highway. Due to the egregious nature of the offense, Abraham may lose his driver's license for three months. The former middleweight titlist said he was running late for an awards ceremony where he was being honored (although, apparently, the ceremony was in Armenia).

Marquez, Ward, Froch and Katsidis make this a great weekend for boxing fans.

Super Six tourney has turned out to be more of a hassle than a success.

What happens when you put two world class fighters in a ring together, add a little explosiveness and just touch of , "I cannot lose this fight" mentality? What you get is the upcoming Carl Froch-Arthur Abraham bout. Each combatant is coming off of a loss that many in the boxing world thought that they would win. Froch ventured to Denmark to face Mikkel Kessler. Kessler was the odds on favorite heading into Showtime’s Super Six Tournament, but was upset in round one by now tourney favorite, Andre Ward. Some viewed the Ward fight as a bout that showed certain limitations for Kessler. Besides suffering numerous headbutts, Kessler seemed to be outhustled and lost a technical decision. Froch had dealt Andre Dirrell a loss in their first round fight. The fight was, to be honest, hard to watch.

There had been a dispute because the originally appointed referee came from Michigan. The judges come from Italy, Michigan and Thailand.

This is about as close to a masterclass as you'll see Abraham put on.

According to Fightnews, Felix Sturm and Khoren Gevor will meet for Sturm's title on July 11th. This is a very live opponent for Sturm. Gevor hung tough with Arthur Abraham until he got knocked out, and dominated Amin Asikaiken, who was a top 10 middleweight who has beaten Sebastian Sylvester. Don't give Universum too much credit though - Gevor is also a Universum fighter. This may have been their decision to let Sturm sink or swim, but even if Sturm loses, the belt will stay in the family.

First, Abraham will face Giovanni Lorenzo in June, but according to this German news service, the contract is done and sitting in front of both fighters. Article also mentions that Arthur has been having weight problems and got a new nutritionist and cook so he can stay at 160 through then. Translated version of the page is available here.
