Arena in Berlin, Germany.

participated in a public work-out on Tuesday Afternoon in Berlin. The
training session was massively attended by media representatives,
and both pugilists, looking in good shape, expressed their confidence,
going into the fight on Saturday night.
The Armenian-born German Arthur Abraham, a former undefeated
middleweight world champion, believes his opponent will be in for
an unpleasant surprise. "Taylor is good, he is a proven champion,
but he has never been in the ring with someone that punches as hard
as I do. He will find out on Saturday. I have a lot of respect for
him, but he will not beat me in my hometown," stated Arthur Abraham,
a former undefeated middleweight world champion.
Abraham’s trainer, Ulli Wegner believes in his boxer punching power
and commented Taylor does not know how hard Arthur punches. "Once he
finds out, it will be too late, "stated Ulli Wegner.
Speaking to reporters, the American boxing legend Jermain Taylor, a
former undisputed middleweight world champion, stated: "I have a lot of
respect for Arthur as a fighter and I know he will be prepared." "You
can expect a lot of fireworks in the ring on Saturday night. I had a
good training camp in Houston and I’m well prepared. I’m expecting
to deliver a good performance which will lead to victory. I know
exactly how Arthur plans to fight me, it’s no secret. I will be ready
to counter anything that he presents."
