STURM VS TRINIDAD one small step from being official...

[kborges]

exactly 1 punch and sturms career is over.

First let's see how he does with Cherifi. If he wins convincingly then let's talk about Tito & Sturm. If not let's talk about Tito & Winky.

exactly 1 punch and sturms career is over.

I actually think Sturm will give Trinidad a tough fight but will eventually be TKO'ed. Trinidad is just too strong for him.

i like both sturm and tito but i think i would want sturm to win just cuz he's young and many doubt him ...but i think tito gonna win..i just dont think it will be as easy as everyone saids..i mean come on sturm is pretty good he has chance..but doubt even if he wins the fight that he would get the UD (cuz of don king)....anway all of this doesnt prepare tito for hopkins..and tito (sadly to say) will get KTFO by hopkins even sooner this time around

[vandaNEXTlegend]

Sturm will get KO if he stands toe to toe like he did against DLH...wanna bet on that?

Of course he will but you assume he fights like that all the time. I saw his two fights prior to DLH and he was on his toes for the majority of both fights. It's hard to argue Sturm with people who have only seen him fight once. I don't blame you either...his fights are very hard to come by.

Why fighting Sturm will not prepared Tito 4 Nard...Sturm is a real Middle right?

[Exciterx30]

I don't think Hopkins will even hurt Trinidad if they fight again. Hopkins is not a power puncher, he accumulates punishment and this time Trinidad won't go headhunting like he did in 2001. He will make adjustments.

U are right...I only seen him fight once. Will the Sturm-Cherifi fight be televised?

Trinidad is nothing special, a dancing puerto rican, big deal. When the going gets tough he folds like construction paper, via Hopkins, and end rounds of Oscar DLH. Sturm is a true warrior and just might be the reason Trinidad stays in retirement.

Yeah, he folds just like Tszyu to Vince Phillips, right?

Listen, Tito's power is the most underrated thing in boxing. People still don't learn after watching him KO so many mofos. Look at Vargas (first and 12th round), Joppy, and even DLH (who ran like a chicken, I might add). Everyone gets KO'd or runs once they feel the power Tito brings to the ring.

Sturm is a good fighter (still B level, but good) but is not on par with Tito. Tito KO's him in 9. That jab will only work for the first few rounds but when Tito sees that Sturm can't hurt him (and Sturm couldn't KO Ivan Calderon) then he will walk right through the punches and KO him.

This is sickening. Tito isn't "too strong" for Sturm...he's actually going to be the smaller man. Sturm has incredibly tight defense and a very strong torso. I will bet any one of you who is taking Tito that this fight doesn't end in a KO. Tito won't be able to adjust to that jackhammer jab down his throat all night. If Sturm puts a few more punches behind that great jab, he could definitely take a UD. It will be a close fight either way however.

I was told the fight would be part of a live online broadcast but I think they decided to KO that idea. It'll be up for download a few hours after the fight on ************** for those of you who have DSL or Cable. Sturm has become on of the most popular fighters in Europe and shouldn't be overlooked by anyone including Tito.
