hi guys after closely watching this fight and hafe to say sturm should of got the decision or maybe a draw at most but one things for for sure de la hoya was not 2 points ahead what do you guys think
hell he gave much too respect to DLH's power in their fight, Sturm was bigger,stronger, the bigger man all around and still he let DLH do what he did in the ring. It was a close fight and could have been a draw of gone either way give or take 1 point.
All jokes aside, I believe it was a close fight as well. I seen the fight for the first time a couple days ago. By the things I heard I thought it was a blowout, but that was not the case. It was a close fight, but I do think Sturm won.
it was a joke
That fight was a joke. 8 Million in German Free-TV saw it, too. Oscar couldn`t stand any more in round 11 and 12. Everyone saw it. Oscar is old, weak and without power. He got millions in the Hopkins fight for a very bad performance in both fights.
Without a doubt in my mind strum won, I mean he was never hurt by oscars punches. His defense was amazing literaly none of oscars punches were able to get through most ended up hitting his gloves. He was the smarter boxer that night he wouldn't let oscar flurry during the last 10 seconds to steal a round. You could see the frustration on DLH face, even he knew he lost.
A powerful jab landing is better than landing nothing at all. Or landing ineffective punches. Oscars punches where bouncing off Sturm while Sturms jab was really bothering Oscar.
Sturm won that fight easily, though not spectacularly.
He did it in workhorse fashion by keeping Oscar at bay with his stiff jab, then moving away during the last few seconds so Oscar couldn't try his normal tactic of stealing rounds at the end with a flurry of powder puff punches.
It was a brilliant, if somewhat less than enticing, performance by Sturm.
who won..del la hoya of course..he got the gift UD and then went on to face hopkins and lose like everyone knew he would but got to take home all of our hard earn money...
oh u ment just who one that night...sturm of course...just a jab cant win fights my ass!!!...say that to larry holmes who was the orginal guy who jabbed people to death..sturm won..but its cool cuz everyone knows it (most atleast)...sturm has a great chance to become something still he's young and good so there no reason to feel sorry for him
