There could not have been a better ending of this year as the one that has been done by the WBO Super-Middleweight Champion, Mr. Arthur Abraham, who has recently defeated Mehdi Bouadla by TKO in round eight in Nuremberg, Germany on Saturday night.

Yes, the year has ended with a big bang with once again seeing Abraham at the top. His greatest performance had 7,000 fans in attendance witnessing the great performance by the titlist, who presented them with an early Christmas gift too.

The fight was forceful since its beginning with Abraham and Bouadla both under the pressure but finally Abraham turned over the prodigy of Coach Mr. Ulli Wegner of Bouadla, which formed the base of his first fight against Robert Stieglitz on August 25.

The hard hitting titleholder once again showed his magic by constantly switching his target from head to body and do not giving a single chance to his challenger to guess where he would attempt to hit him next.

Finally the heat turned on during the round seven, when Abraham's lovely uppercut and the big straight right hand made it clearly evident to his challenger that he cannot take more of the WBO Champion.

His punches gave a deep cut on Bouadla's right eye, which in round eight declared Abraham as the winner with Bouadla claiming to be not able to see Abraham's punches coming. Post which, referee Mark Nelson made the correct call and declared the German as the winner.
