Lorenzo won the 1st round, 2nd round could have went either way but I scored it to Sturm.
Lorenzo was invisible getting jabbed to death until about the 7th or 8th round from then on.
If he wanted to take the champs belt in his hometown, it wasn't nearly a good enough effort.
Hopefully Sturm wont elect to fight a can next, and go for Sergio Martinez

what did sturm do down the stretch other than get outworked?
if he fights golovkin next, sturm gets laid the fck out. not an impressive showing at all.

ok another BULL**** WIN for Sturm
now when will he start fighting better competition? or will he just live off of "Being Robbed By Oscar De La Hoya" and make that his legacy
Sturm has excellent boxing skills, I think a fight with Martinez would be a GREAT fight as would a fight with Paul Williams, even a fight with Pavlik would be a great test

As the commentator predicted, Lorenzo was a front runner. He faded until about the 7th or 8th round, then he turned it up and won a couple of rounds, but by then Sturm was ahead on the cards. Sturm got outworked the 10th and 12th rounds. He won the 11th.
Sturm might not have been impressive, but this fight was easy to score. Especially in the middle rounds when Lorenzo was just arm punching while Sturm was landing clean jabs, and clean left hooks and rights to the body. Also at least one of those middle rounds, Sturm stole. He had a flurry at the end and landed some big shotsLast edited by Biolink; 09-04-2010, 05:22 PM.

Sturm CLEARLY won the fight tonight.
I scored it 116-112 and I really dont see how you could have it any closer.
Giovanni Lorenzo is a very solid, B level fighter, and he would be competitive with anyone in the Middleweight division. Lorenzo has a huge amateur background, is a very tough, durable guy. Lorenzo is definitely a top10 MW.
Sturm now has 2 clear wins over top10, top5ish type MWs

This is a good win for Sturm, it was a boxing clinic over a formidable opponent.
Good win for Sturm.
