    HOLLYWOOD, FL, August 21 – He is the longest reigning champion in the middleweight division today, a European superstar who now has his sights set on conquering new land in America after a spectacular US debut in June. On Saturday, October 4th, ‘King’ Arthur Abraham defends his IBF 160-pound title for the eighth time as he takes on 1992 US Olympian and former world junior middleweight champion Raul Marquez in his first appearance on United States pay-per-view television.

    raul marquez has earned his stripes and is worthy of ppv after years of tireless work against luis ramon campas. keith mullings and shane mosley. not to mention his enlightening commentary for hbo latino

    The only people i can see paying for this are some latinos who don't know anything about Abraham and think they are watching Marquez get a title belt.

    Abraham is a scrub. I hope Marquez beats him. He won't win though. Abraham was knocked out by Edison Miranda, allowed treatment and told to stay on his feet to get the decision. He was outboxed by Kofi Jantuah and Howard Eastman(yes that bum Eastman) only to win on all the scorecards. Marquez has no power. He will not win even if he does.

    oh i know. i know. the fact that he's fighting Marquez is just "one" of the reasons I can't wait to see him get KTFO.

    whatever. genius. now that you mention it, no fighter in history has ever skipped over a mandatory in favor of a more compelling fight. not even when it's a complete mismatch.

    Like who?

    Pavlik, who is fighting Hopkins.
    Calzaghe, who is fighting Jones.
    Kessler, who is fighting his own mandatory.
    Taylor, who is fighting Lacy.
    Sturm, who is fighting Sylvester.
    Bute, who is fighting Andrade.

    There are no more compelling fights. :doh:

    Who? Nobody will match Winky´s ridiculous demands. I consider the guy retired.

    So it's your opinion that Abraham is holding up a fight with Pavlik?

    For some reason I'm looking forward to this. Marquez is never in a bad fight.

    Given his recent postings I´m not sure he is aware Hopkins isn´t the middleweight champ anymore.
