Sturm vs De La Hoya

[ShoulderRoll]

Was it a close fight that could have gone either way? Or was it a clear robbery?

[Sugar Adam Ali]

It wasn't a huge robbery, but I def felt sturm won... Oscar stole a lot of rounds with his little flurries, and sturm would have stretches of inactivity except for the jab..

I had it 115-113 sturm,,

Sturm dominated the second half of that fight and probably deserved to win 8-4, or at worst 7-5. It wasn't the worst robbery that I've seen, but it was rightfully labeled as one.

And people wonder why sturm never leaves Germany,, came to the states for oscar and got a bad decision....

Huge props to oscar for making this fight... It just shows that if your a legit top draw you can make any match u want since u bring the biggest payday... Others like Roy and Floyd should take note how oscar made big fights with a variety of guys..

Interesting note, a few years ago oscar was training for a comeback vs sturm rematch, but oscar said when he started training, his body just didn't react well, and he was getting injured so he decided to stay retired.. I think this was about 2 or 3 years ago..

Agreed, this is what I remember too.

Also, the De La Hoya vs Hopkins fight was in the works and Bernard was sweating watching the Sturm fight.

Sturm would have had to completely dominate De La Hoya to be given the verdict in my opinion. He was short changed a bit to make for the bigger future event......

Sturm won the fight.

[JDD1]

I thought sturm won convincingly. Sturm would have had to knock ODH out for a full 5 mins in order to get the win since the bhop fight was in the works.

116-112 Sturm

Sturm was the clear winner and this fight was rightly called a robbery.

I thought Oscar lost clearly. I didn't score it but watching I didn't see any case for Oscar winning.

[BattlingNelson]

I didn't score it, but felt that Sturm won quite clearly. I wasn't shocked by the decision though, as it is near impossible to win on the cards against a US superstar in America.

I had it worse when Schulz 'lost' to Foreman.
