my favorite middleweight

Arthur Abraham ascended to that particular throne a while back on the strength of a series of epically surreal Smurf-inspired ringwalks.

Unfortunately for us all a lawsuit by some tight-assed copywrite obsessives forced him to shelve the Smurfettes.

But his dedication to giving fans a mind-bending prefight show remains undimmed by corporate wet blankets, as witness his latest title fight stroll.

In today's bout with Canadian Sebastien 'Double Trouble' Demers he strode to the ring accompanied by the dulcet tones of Farewell, Humanity, essayed live in the arena by 80's Krautrock hair metal gods The Scorpions*.

No clip available, but it was pretty awesome.

Not a bad fight, either.


*the Scorpions are notable for what is generally regarded as one of the most egregiously awful album cover of all time, as well as one of the most offensive lyric refrains to ever grace the American top 40:
The Bitch is Hungry
She needs to tell
So give her inches
and feed her well

from Rock You Like a Hurricane
