Arthur Abraham's next opponent

[wally]

so who do you reckon it's going to be?

Earlier last week, there was talk of Sauerland offering Sturm 1,5m euros to face him in the summer, but that looks to have gone quiet with Sturm having to face the new Sebastian Sylvester before too long.

So what's it going to be?
Abraham's US debut to take place in the summer afterall although against whom??

Abraham to face his mandatory Giovanni Lorenzo ?? but in Germany :-( as no one knows about this opponent in the States

or will it be another voluntary defence against a Wayne Elcock type of fighter and the chances of Pavlik facing King Arthur being delayed even further :fire

Miranda in the States on 21 June, perhaps at SMW in a non-title fight so Abraham can shut Miranda up for good?

It´s all a boring game.

They wanted Sturm, but now they realize they can milk morem oney by getting the belt from Sturm to Sylvester. So Abraham leaves him alone and Sylvester gets the fight. Then Sauerland has two different world title holders. Then Abraham tries to go for Pavlik. Then they MIGHT have all of them.

They don´t want to sacrifice Sylvester to Abraham, but in that case, they could make the ultimate money by unifying all titles. Abraham would KTFO Sylvester.

U make it sound like that they could easily make a fight happen between Sturm and AA. But the truth is that it needs two to dance a tango. And if both boxers and may be even more important their promoters wanted this match the ink would be already dry on the paper. I truly believe Sturm and UBP dont want any piece of AA at all. At least not at the moment. Sylvester as the manadatory challenger right now for Sturm cant be ducked. There has been some trash talk and picking on each other , that this will turn out in grudge match. I believe it will be very interesting.

Good post,matt! Well spoken! I,too,think that Sturm and his promoter Kohl dont want any piece of the Armenian banger at all.To a certain degree I can quite understand them.They can go on facing fighters like Castillejo,Sylvester,and Griffin making a lot of good bucks by doing so.Why the hell should they take a huge risk by accepting a fight with one of the most dangerous boxers at middle weight.Up to now money isnt the right bait.Sturm collects a bigger paycheck by defeating two Pittmans than by squaring off against Abraham.Whats more I am quite posivitive that Sturm knows at his heart that he is the huge underdog against Abraham.
Abraham hasnt been knocked out by an old Spaniard or found himself in deep water against a b fighter from the USA(Griffin) up to now.

Marco Antonio Rubio has just pulled out of a fight on the Calzaghe/Hopkins bill on Saturday I wonder if he could be next in line for Arthur in his American debut. Well known name, entertaining fighter and the fight guarantees a knockout.

Could it be Rubio?

It's Miranda, like I said :-)
