January 15, 2012 - 15:54 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net - Armenian boxer Arthur Abraham (33-3, 27KOs) stopped
Argentinean Pablo Farias (19-2, 11KOs) in the fifth round to capture
the vacant WBO European super middleweight title.
Abraham started slow but eventually he started to let his hands go and
let the bombs fly in the fifth as he found his range. A combination to
the head and body put Farias down early in the fifth. A moment later a
second knockdown came, and then a barrage of punches put Farias down
for a third and final time as the referee waved it off, Boxing Scene
reported.
Earlier, Abraham promised to make a spectacular comeback night when he
takes on Farias in front of a sell-out crowd at the Baden Arena in
Offenburg, Germany. `I will start the year with a victory and also end
the year with a victory,' Abraham said. `I am determined to be world
champion again in 2012,' sports media quoted him as saying.
