/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Unbeaten middleweight world champion Arthur Abraham
(30-0, 24 KOs) retained his IBF title with a thrilling tenth-round
technical knockout over German-based Turk Mahir Oral (25-2-2, 7 KOs) on
Saturday night at the Max Schmeling Halle in Berlin, Germany. Abraham
scored five knockdowns in all, including three in round ten before
Oral’s corner stopped the fight.

"I was really impressed about Mahir’s ability to take a punch," Ulli
Wegner, Abraham’s coach said. "It also fascinated the fans. But our
strategy worked. We let him attack in the early stages and then made
the most of our chances," fightnews.com cited him as saying.
