Ulli Wegner looking forward to seeing Abraham-Ward fightMay 13, 2011 - 08:42 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - The final press conference for the kickoff of the Semifinals of the Super Six World Boxing Classic turned tense on May 11, just three days before Andre Ward defends his WBA super middleweight title against former world champion Arthur Abraham. Abraham’s trainer Ulli Wegner said: “I’m really looking forward to seeing an exciting fight on. I know it will be a very difficult fight for us and I’m hoping that the better man will win. I hope that we have a fair fight and we put on a good fight for the fans. Now we’re done with the talking and we’re ready to get inside the ring.” As for James Prince, Ward’s Manager, he said they have respect for Arthur Abraham and his accomplishments in boxing, fightnews.com reported. “You were a great fighter at 160 pounds but I feel like your advisors have tricked you into placing you into a different weight division where you don’t belong. I want to extend my warmest hospitality and welcome you to the States, but that’s where it ends,” said Prince.
