Sturm Outworked, Manages To Decision Gevor

[BattlingNelson]

I'll tear Pavlik a new ******* on this forum if he goes after Felix Sturm. Total ***** move. Williams is the only worthy challenger at that weight. If he can't get fights with Sergei D, Martinez, Mosley, or even Clottey there is no excuse for a Williams-Pavlik fight not to happen.

Lol. Is this your first Sturm fight?

Does Pavlik fight like Gevor?

Gevor gave AA all sorts of problems also, but Arthur has the equalizer. Sturm doesn't.

I've never seen Sturm fight on TV other than the time he fought De La Hoya. But even so, Pavlik will not struggle with a guy who got knocked out by Javier Castillejo. Paul Williams would abuse this guy.

At the Nuerburgring race track in Nuerburg, Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany, WBA middleweight champion Felix Sturm (33-2, 14KOs) retained his title with a unanimous twelve round decision win over Khoren Gevor (30-4, 16KOs). The scores were 115-112 115-112 and 117-111. Gevor appeared to outwork Sturm in most of the rounds. [details]

never saw the fight but I'm reading different opinions on the outcome so it must have been close & hard to score.myself I don't care about shoe shining.one solid power punch to me is worth more than 4-5 jabs.of course those power shots have to be solid connects not taps.for me calzaghe was the allltime best shoe shiner.lots of punches that were mostly taps.calzaghe may have lost fights in the us if he fought there earlier in his career.did sturm land hard shots,was he aggressive or retreating?I'm a guy who had foreman beating Schulz where others thought axel running around tapping foreman was worth the win.I'd have to see the fight.

pavlik would destroy this guy. i hope they make pavlik-williams instead. thats the only good fight out there in the division now that AA is moving up.

Given both guy styles, I think Williams-Pavlik could be a classic. It has to happen.

Gevor was robbed

I scored the fight 116:112 for Gevor , he was more active and landed some very good shots . He took the fight to Sturm. Sturm would get KO against Abraham , that is why he ducked him.

bullsh** pavlik is in deep depression since been executed by the executioner,felix vs AA should happen next..adnan deserved this victory he landed more accurate punches.

I had it 116-112 Gevor.

Sturm's clean punches were flashy but Gevor was landing a lot more cleanly than many are saying. His uppercuts and hooks were hitting the guard a lot, but they did get through; they just didn't look as eye-catching as Sturm's clean shots. Gevor was effective in an ugly way where Sturm was effective in a TV-replay way (ZDF needed no excuse to emphasise Sturm's best shots instead of Gevor's best shots).

Gevor won handily on ring generalship (he made Sturm fight his fight) and was superior in effective aggression too - that superiority would have been even bigger had the Ref not been constantly pulling Gevor off Sturm for no good reason when he had Sturm against the ropes and mistaking heads-close infighting for headbutts.
