With a left hook to the body Felix Sturm knocked out Cherifi after 2:06 minutes in the third round.
The fight starts slow with Sturm clearly dominating the first round with his jab and aggressive style.
Lil problems in the second for Sturm after he got hit in the eye with Cherifis left thumb. Sturm is the aggressor and backing Cherifi up.
In the third Sturm has enough. He throws and lands at will. Right Uppercuts, left and right hooks to the body and head are all landing. Cherifi looks hurt. Finally Sturm knocks him out with a wicked hook to the body. Hassine can't make the count.
Sturm worked on his power and muscles. This fight actually took place in the supermiddleweight division. He showed everyone who watched that he can fight any style anytime, being the aggressor and putting constant pressure on Cherifi who is a former WBC Middleweight Champion and has tons of experience.
After the fight Sturm said the he wanted this fight because he wants to stay active and he needs to fight a lot to be motivated. His next fight is sceduled for march but he didn't conform that Trinidad will be his opponent. He said once more that he wants to fight the best there are and that he is confident that he can beat everyone out there including Hopkins. Felix is a lil disappointed because he feels that some of the champions out there only fight for money and turn down everything in order not to take a risk.
Last but not least I'd like you to know that it took Felix Trinidad 4 rounds to knock Cherifi out who is no Top 10 fighter anymore and just couldn't handle what Sturm had to offer.
