[Dempsey]

F i g h t n e w s is reporting that TRINIDAD vs STURM will be on for March 12.

Oh boy! That is going to be a great fight!

My first impressions say that Tito will be too technical for Sturm. But it definately will be a close fight!

We will have to see what Sturm's chin is, if its good.....he could give Tito a hard time. He certainly won't stand there for Tito to hit. Tough fight for Tito......ballsy fight to take.

Tito's gonna whip this dude's ass.

Should be a good fight, though.

any fight with tito in it is a good fight, he is the savior of boxing. tito in 4, remember he hits like a middleweight unlike Delahoya

Let me digress a bit. I don't think Sturm will win...but he has the ability to make Tito look bad......which it is why its a ballsy move for Tito. The last thing he needs is to have a hard time with a relative unknown. Not good for shutting up his sceptics.

Not good for Sturm... Tito will have victory by KO in the middle of the fight.

I would be more inclined than a lot of people to give Sturm a chance here, but with his low knock out rate (only 9 total), I don't think he has the pop to discourage Tito.

[Neuraxis]

I don't give Sturm much of a chance at beating Tito unless Tito comes in fat and out of shape like DLH did against Sturm. Sturm doesn't throw enough punches win this. Tito by way of easy UD or late TKO/KO.

Regardless of the outcome Felix will be somewhat exposed in this fight, granted I think he will win but looking back against Mayorga he could not have looked better nor could he have had a more perfect opponent then El Matador, I eat crow on this one because I gave Ricardo a good shot at winning.

As for Tito/Sturm, Tito has never seen a jab that he wouldn't eat and Sturm, yes he may be powerless but he has a very good looking jab that will land as long as he throws it. Watch the Tito/Joppy fight, Joppy must have landed 60-70% of his jabs.

The question will be Sturm's defense and chin which are still both unkowns. Regardless of the outcome however Sturm is going to hit Trinidad with the jab at will, if he can find something else to be good at in this fight like ring generalship, footwork, movement then he has a real shot at outpointing Tito. But we will se what happens when he tastes the Tito left, it may be over before Sturm can land those hard jabs.

I will be extremely curious too see what the odds look like for this fight, Sturm will be a very live underdog and for the right price he is certainly worth a play!
