Classic tournament, Armenian boxer Arthur Abraham knocked out his
American rival Jermain Taylor. The single fight was attended by
Russian boxer Nikolay Valuev and his coach Alexander Zimin who are
currently conducting a training session in a sports base in Kinbaum,
an area on the outskirts of Berlin.
At the start of single combat, Jermain Taylor was more active. After

resorted to defense in the first round, but then became active,
eventually knocking out his rival," Zimin’s official Web site quotes
Valuev as saying.
Russian sportsmen noted in turn that Arthur had really deserved his
victory, and wished him success in his future endeavors.
"Arthur demonstrated willingness to win. Just 10-15 seconds before the
12th round he managed to strike the decisive blow. Good for Arthur. In
the fight against the experienced rival, he gained three points. I
wish him success in future competitions," Valuev said.
