Arthur Abraham got his 2012 off to a flying start by taking the lesser know WBO Europe Title when he KO’d Pablo Farias in 5 rounds in Offerburg. Farias was ranked 3 by the IBF so things are looking bright for the former IBF champ in the year ahead.
On the same bill WBO Super-Middleweight champ Robert Steiglitz retained his title over 12 round on points beating Henry Weber 116-112, 118-110 and 119-109.
Promoter Kalle Sauerland believes that 2012 will be Abraham´s year. “He just knocked out the IBF´s number three in five rounds, that´s a very good start,” Sauerland stated. “King Arthur is back on track and he has great things ahead in 2012.” The victory made him the new WBO Europe Super-Middleweight Champion.
