Do you respect Shumenov, Sylvester, and Strum as world champions?

[Spray_resistant]

Because in both Strum's and Sylvester's last fights and the fight prior to his recent one Shumenov either gained or retained a world title by gift decision.

So do you regard these fighters right now as legit world champions because a couple of probably paid off judges say they should be or no?

STURM is only one legit of those 3.

STURM is only one legit of those 3.

But he did get a gift against Gevor.

I thought Sturm-Gevor and Sylvester-Karmazin were close fights.

Shumenov-Campillo was a robbery though.

Strum/Gevor was a bit closer but no way Sylvester should have walked away with that strap.

Even though the Sturm/Gever fight was closer, Gevor just clearly banked so many early rounds as to where he really should have won.

It was damn close fight but Sturm landed better punches and decision was fair!

I thought there were many close rounds in Sylvester-Karmazin which could've gone to either guy depending on how you like to score fights because Karmazin was definitely way more active but a lot of his shots were landing on Sylvester's gloves while Sylvester was less active but arguably more effective with his punches, he also landed the harder shots so I thought it was a close fight with some swing rounds.

Sturm-Gevor was just a close fight, 2 swing rounds that decided the fight IMO.

Shumenov should be an inspiration to all of us here at NSB. If he can be a World Champion, **** so can we.
