Robert Stieglitz vs. Arthur Abraham

---

In an entertaining give-and-take fight, Abraham successfully lifts a world title at 168 lbs. in his third attempt, after losing to Carl Froch and Andre Ward in his two previous attempts. WBO holder Stieglitz was making his seventh defense of the belt he won from Karoly Balzsay three years ago, and was not willing to let go if it easily, suffering a ton of punishment under Abraham's heavy hands but always coming back with flurries of his own.
