OK i know this is real old and talked about to death, but i saw the fight for the 1st time since it happened. The 1st time i thought Oscar won it easly but im a big Oscar fan i cant really judge at the time cause of the whole emotion and the tension.
I saw it again and i had it a draw.
I had Oscar winning 5 out of the first 7 rounds. ( rounds 1,2,5,6,7) i didnt think Sturm's jab was enough to win those rounds. All he did was throw Jabs and nothing else.
IN rounds 8 to 12 i had Sturm winning four out of 5. I thought Sturm started throwing more combinations and still throwing that jab. Also after the 6 round Oscar was extremly tired (ive never seen him that tired ever)
I think Sturm faught good but i dont see anything anything to get excited about. Oscar is small for a junior middleweight, he sure doesnt have any business fighting at Middle. If sturm would have faught a jermain taylor , B-hop , or a Jeff Lacy(saying they met) he wouldnt be able to stay in that same defense because those body shots and hooks would becoming from a man his size. And he does not have the power to scratch neither of those guys.
** By the way, if you look after the 1st round between rounds, Mayweather keeps spraying damn water into Oscar's nose and it bothers him, just watch it its real funny**
