they fight. Bet on it.

Sturm leaves his body wide open. He'd be rolling around on the canvas in tears too

From a slap?
Not unless he was paid.
Which I doubt he will be.

Sturm hasn't done anything that would tell me he's going to beat Hopkins. He would get broken down to the body and then Hopkins will work upstairs. His defense is like Wrights but he doesn't have it perfected like Winky does. He won't look nearly as good against Hopkins like he looked against Oscar.

[NichtGeflechten]

Sturm looked better overall against DLH although the result was less impressive, he actually doled out a more severe beating to Oscar than Hopkins did. I think Oscar got psyched out and gladly took the first available noble exit that Hopkins furnished him with. Sturm's phenomenal jab will befuddle Hopkins. Bernard will grow old trying to deal with it & will end up taking a split decision loss. Smart money takes the long odds.

Yes, from a "slap".

How bout you let someone like Hopkins "slap" you in the liver and see how you feel

DLH is a professional boxer, I am not.
That slap shouldn't take out a professional boxer.

I think Oscar did some acting...I think he panicked about having his film/television career ended prematurely. His corner knew he was in dire mental straits; listen to their instructions go from technical advice to kissy hug hug ego propping.

[Dark Destroyer]

Sturm is too robotic and predictable for Bernard Hopkins in my opinion. Bernard can adapt to any style and has the ability to outbox Felix Sturm. Felix Sturm seems like a good fighter but i cannot seeing him ever retiring Bernard

sturm sucks all he gots is a jab
