Marquez quits on stool, Abraham retains title

Arthur Abraham TKO6 Raul Marquez... Undefeated IBF middleweight champion Arthur Abraham retained his title and kept his perfect record intact as he punished mandatory challenger and former IBF junior middleweight champion Raul Marquez for six rounds, prompting the proud Texan to quit on his stool. Abraham called out Felix Sturm after the bout, and word is that HBO is logically interested in bouts featuring Abraham against Kelly Pavlik and Winky Wright.
