Felix Sturm Defends Against a Hungry Koji Sato

tunney, why do you protected. lame fighters who rarely challenge themselves and extort their fans by fighting guys with 14 fights? i don't know sato but I don't see how he could have really earned his shot at the title.

At least Sturm isn't seeking opponents from smaller weight classes and having them move up to middleweight to fight him, unlike "Chicken" Floyd Mayweather.

But yes he should have accepted a unification fight with Abraham.

I like Felix Sturm.

He's a very skillful fighter - he defeated De La Hoya (not the recent shot version), but was robbed by the Las Vegas judges.

He is a very good boxer... His only weakness is his weak punching power...

I think if he`s well prepared he cab bring an upset with both Pavlik and Abraham....

I have to cosign with you in a big way on this one Tunney.

Sturm is an excellent fighter with arguably the best jab in boxing. A shame he doesn't get the big fights. This fight proves nothing. There seems to be no career planning with Sturm and that's a shame.

I've seen a lot of Sato here in Japan. He is currently assumed to be the best Japanese middleweight, who has a 'lights out' punching power and almost zero speed. Indeed Sato has a puncher's opportunity, but Strum is too elusive for the Japanese challenger. Having a KO punch is one thing; landing one is totally another. Strum, UD, wide margin. Sorry Sato, but this fight sure is a step up in your career.
