| Photos: Murray is Denied, as Felix Sturm Secures a Draw
|
|
England's Martin Murray drew with WBA super middleweight champion Felix Sturm as the German retained his title in Mannheim on Friday night. The 29-year-old from St Helens produced a tremendous display, trading shot-for-shot with his opponent and going the full distance for only the second time in his 24 fights to date. Murray was awarded the fight 115-113 by American judge Ted Gimza but, with Jean-Francois Toupin scoring it 116-112 for Sturm and Pasquale Procopio unable to split the pair, he was left to hope for a rematch if he is to prise the belt off the 32-year-old. .jpg)

So Murray deserved a draw but Macklin didnt beat Sturm? What a joke,German judging would be much improved if they glued a felt tip to the paw of a squrriel and let it run around on a giant notepad for 36 minutes |

One of the biggest robberies of the year Sturm pretty much dominated the fight |

Excited to watch and score this fight. Sturm has been a good champion during his reign but I feel his time has come when i rewatched and scored the fight against Macklin, I had it a draw and felt that Sturm was lucky to secure that. If he could only grab a draw here against Murray, and can't win ... |
