F i g h t n e w s is reporting that TRINIDAD vs STURM will be on for March 12.
Oh boy! That is going to be a great fight!
My first impressions say that Tito will be too technical for Sturm. But it definately will be a close fight!
I think a lot of people are under estimating Sturm. He didn't look super impressive against DLH but he should have gotten the decision. That was the first time I have seen Sturm but I think he could be very good. That jab is just nasty and from what I've heard he can put his punches together more effectively after the jab.
I just saw on the newspaper that there's another fighter that could be facing Tito his name is Markus Beyer...Any info on him?...also Don King says that he will wait till the Winky-Mosley fight to anounce Tito's next opponent...the other opponents already named are: Maselino Masoe, Jermain Taylor, Sturm, Mosley, and Wright. The only thing for sure right now is the date March 12.
Yeh, no problem.
He has held the WBC super middleweight title three times, but didn't do anything in any of his reigns. He originally won the belt from Richie Woodhall back in 99, and defended once, stopping Lief Kieski (whom I have never heard of) in his next fight he was knocked out by Glenn Catley.
He beat Eric Lucas controversially to win the belt a second time, got a controversial disqualification against Danny Green, and lost to an Italian middleweight named Cristian Sanavria, whose only previous loss came at the hands of infamous French middleweight Morrade Hakkar. He stopped Sanavria in a rematch, marking the third time he's held the WBC belt. He never deserved to win the belt rom Eric Lucas, and should have been stopped in his fight with Green. He has good boxing ability, but has largely gotten by because he's a German who fights in Germany. He's also not much of a puncher, earning only twelve knockouts in thirty two fights.
Simply put, fighters like him are the reason boxing is suffering.
Sturm is a fighter who knows his limitations and doesn't stray off his game plan. He only throws jabs and crosses because his hooks would leave him exposed. If I remember correctly DLH caught Sturm with a solid counter when he opened up a little and started throwing hooks early in the bout around the second round. After he was somewhat stunned he never again threw hooks while Oscar was in range to counter. He is a smart fighter that could frustrate Tito and has enough zip on his punches to keep him at bay. But all it would take would be one solid punch from Tito and Sturms defense plan would go out the window. Interesting fight that could come down to the judges. Right now I would give the slight edge to Tito.
This will probably be more of test of Sturm than Tito, Sturm doesn't have punching power, we'll find out if he has a chin when he tastes Tito's power, Sturms' chin will be checked. If Sturm has really great technique he'll last to a decision
Some people on this thread are saying that Sturm is a bad fight for Tito. I respectfully disagree...I think Sturm is perfect for Tito. He cannot hit that hard and Tito can be hit and he isn't fast or technical enough to stay away from that left hook. Remember that Sturm looked his best against a fat De La Hoya. Look for Trinidad to pressure hard and land something big, maybe early given Tito's recent propensity to come out of the gate hard.
whdempsey, why would you call him a South American sonofabitch? its obvious that he is not from South America from his sig. Mexico is part of North America not South America. Sorry for going off topic.
I must say you got your panties in a bunch. Normally I woulnd't get into someone else's arguement but you crossed the line in my opinion with the use of the word spic. You did prove one thing however, you are a bitch. You even curse like a bitch. Lets start with Fuck Off, when did he stick his dick in you??? Also is there some issues with sticking dicks in your mouth?? Perhaps you just wish your dick was big enough to stick in your own mouth. Your fucking gay and your tough guy act is horrible. Try watching some old John Wayne movies or something perhaps they can help you not sound like a HOMO.
Excuse my use of the word spic.
Beyond that, pretty much everything I said to him applies to you.
Oh, and I never said he stuck his dick in me. Keep your cock out of your mouth is a dialectic phrase which means don't start shit with people you don't know. I'd try to explain further, but you seem stupid enough that I'd just be wasting my time
this is one of the reason i f**king hate tito sometimes....he wait way to long for his next fight...this is crap...look at hopkins..his fighting already..and its not like he even fought a true MW..i mean dammit tito speed it up...or hopkins is gonna KTF out of you again
1-tito would kill DLH at middle just for u guys to know
2-good fight...i like them both,...my head saids tito but my heart said sturm cuz he's new and no one gives him a chance..and to beat tito and have everyone know how well if not beat dlh...i hope he can do it...but its hard...
look,,.tito is a don king fighter..and sturm will fight in USA so he may get robbed again...i like them both...make better guys win.. strum cant be leaving his mid section open against tito like he did against dlh...
sturm SD or robbed
You're so full of shit. You have no idea what you're talking about. Hell, I don't think anyone does.
First off, you're either an idiot, or you're ESL. You spic sonofabitch. who else would spell the possessive pronoun "their" like "there"?
Secondly, you don't make it clear in your woefully inadequate post whether I would be the bitch of the other posters, or the bitch of someone else entirely. The fighters I mentioned perhaps, or maybe a former president. We just don't know. You fucking moron. What is clear is that I'll never be your bitch in a thousand millenia.
Fuck off and go to hell, and keep your own cock out of your mouth.
Or, alternatively, don't fuck with me.

IF ANYTHING THESE GUYS WILL MAKE U THERE BITCH!

Are you serious? This is his second fight back. Give Tito a fuckin break. Furthermore, I'm sick of you guys callin everyone a bitch. Oscar's not a bitch, Tito's not a bitch, Hopkins isn't a bitch and neither was Roy Jones. They don't always do what you think they should. Deal with it.
Kudos! Very well said
