Pavlik vs Sturm in Doubt After HBO Lowballs The Fight

[KJ]

Why are they discussing Pavlik-Sturm anyway? Pavlik-Abraham is the unification fight most people want to see, and Abraham is available. Why did they suddenly switch to talking about Sturm rather than Abraham?

Pavlik-Abraham will rock.

(Switching to Sturm will significantly decrease the chance of being knocked out.....?)

This **** is simple fight in germany then. It will make more money there!!!!!

Stop being bitches and crying about everything if they dont want it, go to Germany and fight the Mother ****er!!!!!!!

Fighting in Germany means Pavlik needs a knock out to win. Which is why it probably wont happen.

Fighting in the US means Sturm needs a KO to win.

Because he didnt get a close call against the most profitable fighter in the world? Go on...

At least there's some historical backing to my statement. Your statement was just a knee-jerk reflex.

HBO is getting on my last nerve with their "high standards". Put it on boxing after dark for all I care, just air the fight.

I dont look at it that way. I would have to be cheerleading Pavlik to have that knee jerk reaction. When in fact I think it is an even fight seeing as how Pavlik has yet to prove he can beat a skilled boxer that wont just stand in front of him. Plus, you cant sit there and say that fighters dont get robbed in Germany. Sure they get robbed in America as well, but come on.

My point was only that questionable decision happen everywhere.

my point is it's basically impossible to win in germany unless you score a devastating knockout cold type of knockout. even if you knock the german fighter down the ref will help him up sometimes.
