Abraham decisions Eastman!
Sunday, July 17 2005
By Alessandro Ferrarini at ringside
Unbeaten middleweight contender Arthur Abraham (17-0, 15 KOs) of Armenia scored the biggest win of his career with a hard fought unanimous decision over two-time world title challenger Howard Eastman (40-3) in a bout for the WBA Intercontinental title at Nürnberg, Germany. The hard-hitting Abraham started slowly but eventually wobbled the 'Battersea Bomber' in rounds ten and eleven. However, Eastman was always dangerous throughout the bout and the British Team saw their man winning at the end of the rounds. The official judges saw that differently, though, and Abraham won through scores of 116-112, 115-113 and a way out-of-line 119-110. Fightnews.com had it 115-113 Abraham.
