It was pretty funny too hear it.Couldnt really complain at a draw and although i had it 7 5 Sturm i could see it going the other way beacuse alotta rounds were tight early on

Its obvious but I'll say it anyway the fight was a clear robbery Sturm out landed him 200-120 and just about all the punches Murray landed were partially blocked.

I had STurm winning 9-3

yes,the draw was a joke,sturm won

Hopkins, Ward and Mayweather are elite inside fighters. Sturm isn't. He's a world class fighter, well rounded with a very nice jab, but also somebody who has benefited greatly from the largely average level opposition he's faced. Hearns Jr, Macklin and Murray isn't exactly a killer's row.

Well thats not true. Every time Martin doubled the hook (which he did often) the second hook found a home around the back of Felix's defence

Martinez likes his opponents to overcommit and had a little trouble with someone as balanced and controlled as barker.

Probably but then Barker i think is better than Murray OR Strurm and he got knocked out despite a game effort

Shocking card.

Apart from the last couple of rounds Murray was blocking or partially blocking Sturms shots too, if ur gonna credit Sturm for his defence then u have to do the same for Murray and besides plenty of those double left hooks were NOT blocked

Also compubox/punch stats are a joke. They
dont always seem accurate and they certainly dont tell the story of the fight
