Sturm vs. Sylvester: Weigh-in vid + pics.

[BattlingNelson]

This highly anticipated german matchup goes ahead tomorrow. Sebastian Sylvester refuses to call Felix Sturm by his name and refers to him by his old bosnian name Adnan Catic, making this a poor mans version of the famous Muhammad Ali - Ernie Terrell fight where Terrell referred to Ali as Cassius Clay. Ali responded by giving Terrell a prolonged beating while shouting "What's my name?" every time he hit him.

As for Sturm and Sylvester no love is lost between these 2 either. They have refused to look each other in the eye and insults has been flying.

Today the 2 adversaries weighed in. They both came in at 159.3 lbs.

Hard to predict this elgran. I dont like Sylvester personally and I wouldn't have fancied his chances until his last fight against Castillejo. But in that fight he fought very well dominating the rugged spaniard before knocking him out viciously in the final round.

Sturm on the other hand was also very impressive last time out. Sturm is a brilliant defensive fighter with an excellent jab. I think it comes down to exactly that: How well can Felix work the jab. How well can Sylvester nullify it. Well to me it's a very even match-up so I sit a bit on the fence to be honest. Should I make a pick I'd go with Sturm most likely on points but I wouldn't rule out a late KO as Sylvester has been shaky in the past.

I think this will be a great fight TBH. There seem to be genuine hate between the two of them. A lot is at stake here. If Sturm wins he'll be in a position to earn megabucks fighting Arthur Abraham. That fight could be the biggest fight ever made in Germany.

Great fight, I cant wait. I think Sturm will win, he has a great jab and is very well placed in the ring at all times.

Well I also got Sturm, but I doubt it'll be easy. Sylvester has nothing to lose here. Sturm has.
