OK i know this is real old and talked about to death, but i saw the fight for the 1st time since it happened. The 1st time i thought Oscar won it easly but im a big Oscar fan i cant really judge at the time cause of the whole emotion and the tension.
I saw it again and i had it a draw.
I had Oscar winning 5 out of the first 7 rounds. ( rounds 1,2,5,6,7) i didnt think Sturm's jab was enough to win those rounds. All he did was throw Jabs and nothing else.
IN rounds 8 to 12 i had Sturm winning four out of 5. I thought Sturm started throwing more combinations and still throwing that jab. Also after the 6 round Oscar was extremly tired (ive never seen him that tired ever)
I think Sturm faught good but i dont see anything anything to get excited about. Oscar is small for a junior middleweight, he sure doesnt have any business fighting at Middle. If sturm would have faught a jermain taylor , B-hop , or a Jeff Lacy(saying they met) he wouldnt be able to stay in that same defense because those body shots and hooks would becoming from a man his size. And he does not have the power to scratch neither of those guys.
** By the way, if you look after the 1st round between rounds, Mayweather keeps spraying damn water into Oscar's nose and it bothers him, just watch it its real funny**
i dont know what that means. :D
they are the yellow books you buy at the bookstore that are a shortened version of books/novels. People use them to study for school. Mostly for college assignments.
of course I've only heard of them since I never did much studying ;)

The HBO commentators said it best:"Sturm was a part of something bigger than this fight" The fight was a commercial for the Hopkins/De La Hoya fight, there was no way in hell they were giving it to Sturm. What do you guys think HBO is going to lose all that money to be gained from Hopkins/De La Hoya. Oh and let's ALL JUST FORGET the fact that the WBO(title that was robbed from Sturm)was given 3% of the earnings from Hopkins/De La Hoya.
Fact is they just ripped Sturm's title away from him and said "Fuck you and have a very nice trip back to wherever the fuck your from..." He was robbed, point blank!
that post deserves karma and 1M points

I scored the fight 116-112 Sturm which I still remember though I lost my scorecard. During the fight I really tried to give possibly close rounds to DLH.
It was a robbery and it is beyond me how anyone with some sense could've possibly given the fight to DLH. All the judges scored the 12th for DLH which was a round that Sturm was clearly winning if I remember correctly.
Hopkins-DLH was too big. That's how the business works. I'm not bitter, over here in Germany the same things happen. The only thing that makes me wonder is how anyone can say that it could've gone either way. It was a clearcut UD hands down.
And I wont even comment on some of the comments about Felix Sturm. I've done this over and over again. Doesn't change a thing. Sad thing is that these posters will be the first to claim "told ya so" when he's the undisputed champ.

Sturm had a 1% overrall punch better then mosley
Mosley 42% Sturm 43%
Mosely had a 29% jab hit sturm had 37%
Mosely had a 57% power hit connect to sturms 52%.
they both beat up oscar pretty damn good
He gave him a worse beating than Bernard Hopkins????
OR Shane Mosely 1, or Tito Trinidad???
ummm yes, tito gave oscar a beating? lmao
well maybe mosley did, but i dunno
and DLH was doing quite well agasint B-hop, was a close fight till it ended.
so ya maybe mosley, but for a so called nobody to give a hall of famer and such a great boxer in DLH that kind of beating he cant be that bad now can he
if sturm is such a sack of crap and is no good why couldnt dlh win, u guys rip sturm like he is nothing if he was nothing DLh shoulda owned him. Sturm gave DLH his worse beating and i dont see why u guys cant see that

I think Sturm nicked it, close but Sturm edged it. HBO weren`t gonna let the fans down because they were wanting Hopkins/De La Hoya so they gave it to De La Hoya.
anyways where are u form StrumRules? Cause obviously uve seen Sturm fight more than once? And how come u like him so much he doesnt have anything special in my opinion, what do u like about him?
well i thought he came in and contected good shots in the bigging of the round and in the end of the round before Sturm started running. I think Sturm kinda got the middle of the round but with about 2 or thre punches when Oscar got winded again
what the point of disrespecting me like that tho?? a Joke ?? Im only stating my opininon no reason for that.
Anyways i think Hopkins could have Ko earlier but thats how Hopkins has been these last years, he starts slow and then gets stronger.
Sturm didnt give Oscar beating the way a middleweight should have. But i odnt think just throwing jabs merits a win for u. I think he controlled the end of the fight when he starting more combinations. It depends on how you judge it. Some people judge it by the power blows some by how bussy some by other things. IN my opinion i dont think Sturm won those first few rounds, but did win the sencond half except the 12.
he didnt win the 12th round? k im done talkign cause now i know u dont know how to score. yr opnion is fine as long as u dotn steer away from facts which u do.
wow what a joke you are, tell me who has came close to knockign out oscar before sturm? tell me who is the first person to ko DLH? seems u guys are underestimating DLH here a bit, it took 9 rounds for one of the top 5 middleweights ever to KO oscar. not in the same sentence as ikeke and taylor? plz, go tell that to ring magazine. u dont have to KO everyone u fight in order to be good

the reason people say it was a robbery was cause it was Oscar. If Sturm was fighting Joe Blow and lost nobody would even say anything. But everyone expects Oscar to distroy bums like Sturm. If Sturm was a contender he would have Knocked out Oscar. Oscar was fat he was winded and he was fighting at a weight way to much for him. Its a disgrace in my opinion how Strum has a record of 20 somthing wins with only 9Ko's but that depends on what kind of fighter u like. I give him credit for putting a good fight agaist a fat out of shape hall of famer, but i dont put him in the same sentence with a Jermain Taylor or even Kingsley Ikeke.
