Abraham retains IBF middleweight title
June 27, 2009
BERLIN (AP) -Undefeated Arthur Abraham successfully defended his IBF middleweight title with a technical knockout of fellow German Mahir Oral in the 10th round on Saturday.
Abraham improved his record to 30-0 with his 10th consecutive defense, though none have been against top-level challengers since he won the title in December 2005.
Armenian-born Abraham knocked down Oral in the fourth, sixth and 10th rounds, the last forcing the referee to call the fight.
The defeat was Oral's first in 19 bouts since his only previous loss, to Malik Dziarra in 2004.
