There are a ton of boxing odds up for this coming weekend, and a lot of eyes will be on Germany where WBO World Super Middleweight Champion Arthur Abraham is defending his belt against fellow countryman and long-time rival Robert Steiglitz. This match marks fourth time the two fighters will be meeting.
Abraham won a unanimous decision the first meeting between the two back in 2012, but Steiglitz stopped Abraham in the rematch a year later. The rubber match resulted in a close, split-decision win for Abraham that left little closure to the series.

On Friday night in Germany, heavyweights Erkan Tepper (14-0) and David Price (19-2) clash. This is basically a fight for respect between two fighters who are looking to get noticed in what is starting to become a crowded Heavyweight division at the world level.
Tepper is undefeated and this is a step-up fight for him. Price is well regarded after having an Olympic bronze medal raise his profile when he went pro, but he ran into tough veteran Tony Thompson and emerged from the two fights with two losses. Though he has won a series of fights since dropping the pair of fights to Thompson, Price has looked tentative and he still has a lot to prove if he is going to be taken seriously in the heavyweight division.
