"In the tenth round a short left hook followed by left uppercuts to the head knocked the lights out of Sturm and the referee stepped in and caught Sturm before he fell to the canvas."
A surprise. I thought Sturm was fighting Mundine next. Ultimateboxa said so.... No wait; he said that Mundine was fighting Kessler... No wait; He said that Mundine was fighting Pavlik.... no wait; he said that Mundine was fighting Winky.....no wait he said Mundine's fight with Soliman was called off... no wait.... it isn't???? Mundine - Soliman III next. Live.
Your not doubting Ultimates source are you , he is in the know you know , one of his future fights is bound to happen sooner or later as there will be nobody left to pick ,,, I,ll have a stab in the dark and say Mundine fights a nobody next .
I thought Sturm won the first bout pretty solidly, in a good competitive bout.
Griffin was busier, but Sturm was landing the harder, cleaner shots, & I was suprised at the draw.
Sturm seemed to trying to do an imitation of Abraham through much of the bout
- neglecting his jab, sticking behind a tight defence & opening up with sharp combo's.
Griffin for his part stuck right on top of Sturm as much as possible, throwing lots of punches, but not landing that many clean ones, although did simply outwork Sturm in quite a few rounds.
Pretty good fight & a rematch would be worth watching.
Not a bad remtach if it's on T.V. in the states it would be nice. I'm getting tired of watching fights on youtube the next day. If Felix Sterm can put on a good performance he might just get a fight with on of the elite in that division like Pavlik,wright, and Abarham. That is the only way he can become a real star in boxing. He had a draw last time he better come in focused this time or Griffin will pull the upset.
for those who havent seen the fight, youd probally be shocked that sturm only got a draw and not the win, especaliy in germany, sturm neeeds to rematch griffin and fight slyvestor next since there are both his mandatories
