STURM-HEARNS under 9.5 Rounds????

[Kball15]

I'll admit I'm not too familiar with Sturm cause he never fights on US TV really, but could Hearns be any further out of his league?

The guy got knocked out by Yorgey. He is so easy to hit and seems to have a very unreliable chin.

Sturms no KO artist, but as a consumate pro I think he manhandles Hearns

Thoughts? Thinkin about putting a small bet on the Under 9.5 at +145

Definite value in the under. Though, I could just as easily see this being a stinker, and going to the cards.

sturn will stop hearns in 9-10

Light hitting 154lber Yorgey stopped Hearns so if MW "champion" Strum can't manage to do that its an embarrassment even more so than him taking this fight as a title defense.

Also let me say this is just another example of how much German boxing is a joke that this is happening at all.

I could see it going both ways. Strum is going to win easy but he doesnt pressure for the KO. Hes alot like Winky Wright to me. Hearns at 6'3 with longer reach might stay away just enough to last to the cards. Tough call for me.

Whatever happened to Yorgey anyways?

[TBear]

Is Hearns name getting him a title shot or is Sturm just looking for an easy win?

Yorgey was in a bitter contractual battle with Pelullo and Banner Promotions. He fights a tuneup on 2/26 then is slated to be on an ESPN main event card or PPV undercard in the early summer. Brian Vera a possible summer opponent for Yorgey.

i think under 9.5 rounds is a decent bet, i don't think hearns is ready for this level of competition and i think sturm has enough to make hearns quit.......


it is a gamble, not a guarantee, but i think it would be a decent payoff.
