Weights: Felix Sturm 158.9, Giovanni Lorenzo 158.2

Published

The long awaited return of Felix Sturm (33-2, 14KOs) is now set. He is ready to defend his WBA middleweight title on Saturday night against Giovanni Lorenzo (29-2, 21KOs) at the Lanxess-Arena in Cologne, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany. Both fighters made weight and looked in superb shape. Sturm came in at 158.9-pounds, while Lorenzo was 158.2. After a long legal battle with Universum, Sturm returns for the first time since July 2009. Lorenzo has never been stopped. He is two fights removed from a split decision loss to Sebastian Sylvester in September 2009.

Lorenzo doesn't punch hard enough to bother Sturm and Sturm will do enough at home to get the UD, something like 116-112 x3. Haven't heard there's a chance Sturm will ever fight Martinez or P. Williams, but would be nice to see him in with one of the young studs like Golovkin or Pirog.
