    Close fights IMO that could of gone either way.

    From what I remember & I maybe wrong but I am sure I recall saying Murray did well to get a draw & I'm sure Macklin faded quite badly & let Sturm back into the fight, you can't go into a champions backyard, take your foot off the gas & expect to win a decision in a close fight.

    it was sturm actually who got robbed in the US against dela hoya.
    maybe that was the reason why he doesn't wanna fight outside of germany again.

      One guy needs the home ring to receive disputed decisions. The other doesn't. Which do you think is worse?

        Sturm. Ward has actually won all his fights clean with no debating no gifts whatsoever.

          Correct & the exact reason. I can't say I blame him either being the champion & the bigger draw.

          Would Geale vs Sturm sell better in Australia for example? I doubt it.

            What's funny is that Andre Ward just fought outside his hometown IN HIS LAST FIGHT.

                  And this goes CLEAR over everyone's head. But then critics will move the goal post and say, "Well he never fought outside of his country!"

                    He should have fought Froch in Nottingham, herp derp. That would have made a difference!
