Sturm won by a Wide UD against noe tullio Gonzalez alcoba, an unknown fighter who fought bravely
sturm did what he had to do too win, but beeing a fan of sturm since his performance angainst de lahoya i was disapointed with his performence, and i don't see him compete with the top middleweights like taylor, abraham, miranda or pavlik.
what do you think?
I can fully understand why sturm wants to fight Taylor.. The guy has 4 contraversial decisions in his last 5 fights. Sturm has a tight defense similar to winky and boxes very well moving around the ring.. But he isnt much of a KO kinda guy.. so eventhough he could very likely win more rounds than taylor, there is still much danger of Sturm getting robbed like he did against de la hoya.
that's exactly what i think, this could be a close fight. But i don't know if sturm is strong enough too block taylors punches for 12 rounds, i think even if winky came from junior middle hes tstronger den sturm

Randy Griffin is from my hometown. Or at least he claims it as his own now. He reminds me a lot of Vernon Forrest. He only has one draw as far as I know although I didn't see that fight. I did see him KO Julio Garcia on the undercard of Tyson vs. Williams in 2004. I don't think he'll beat Sturm, but he is all right.
Why doesn't he try to get a fight with Abraham? That would be a big fight in Europe and move the winner (Abraham, in all likelihood) into a better position for getting a big fight here.
yes they tried, but the promoters can't agree. he shell fight randy griffin next, i never saw him boxing is he good?

people can hate on sturm all they want.. but the man gave de la hoya a boxing lesson and got robbed..
yes I agree, don't need too hate on sturm, but i was only disapointed by sturm last night. maybe the opponent made him look bad. But i think sturm can do better, in germany they say that i wants too come to the US too fight again. But i don't think that HBO or showtime will show his fights. i don't think that people are interested on him in the US. i don't think he could beat pavlik, or taylor ( actually taylor sturm could be a close fight)
The United States is boxing. Everywhere else is overseas and, for the most part, irrelevant.
bullshit, there are as many good fighters in europe then in the united states
Yes sir that is 100% true, that is why we Mexicans come over and fight in the US, we have balls. :banana:
Mexicans rule.
Besides, California, Nevada, and Texas are full of Mexican boxing fans.

Americans like Taylor and Mayweather are "hiding overseas" if you look at it from a European perspective. The American referees robbed Sturm of a deserved win when he came over here.

sturm fought oscar in the usa he aint hiding overseas, sure its one fight but thats more then arthur and calzaghe have combine in there entire careers along with various other european fighters so at least he is willing to come or has shown more intrest, sturm aslo i have notcie can fight "down" to the oppenets levels or he will get lazy and lapse a bit, when he fights taylor,miranda,etc etc he will bring the A game
Do you know Calzaghe fought two fights overseas? OK, doesn't make him Phileas Fogg but he has came out of comfort zone, even beating Veit in his hometown. Some people on here believe beating a German in Germany deserves a huge amount of respect, obviously not everyone.
Nah, I don't like guys that hide overseas, especially one who turned down a big money fight vs. Jermain Taylor to get knocked out by Javier Castillejo instead. The guy's best win is a loss to DLH (I had Sturm winning, but it wasn't like it was a complete robbery). Kinda like Vitali Klitschko. His best win is a loss to Lewis.

ok sturm is cool you caught me. he has the style to beat calzaghe the heart to beat hatton and the balls to withstand a cotto "body" attack. total package I heard from many that Sturm bested Oscar D , but I didn't see it myself...But then I heard that Oscar D & Castillo ( 1st fight ) beat Floyd, and Collazo beat Hatton..Donald beat Valuev...etc...It happens
But he already defeated the boxer you refer too in his last fight before this one! You really hate the white European boxers, don't you, DiegoFuego?

Funny thing is, he would beat Hatton and withstand Cottos body attack.
A middleweight would beat a light welterweight surely not? You'll be telling me Klitschko could KO Hatton next.
