    Sturm looks to slipping, and ready for the taking. I don't know if Geale is the guy to do it. I'd go with Sturm in a close fiercely contested decision.

      If it's a close fight, Felix Sturm will be given the decision.

      Geale needs to dominate to win.

      Still no opponent announced for Chagaev with less than a week to go.

        I didnt see it myself, but wasnt Sturm robbed of a win last year?

          He's was clearly robbed against De La Hoya several years ago.

            I think the fight will be close and Sturm will get a MD win.

              That wasnt the one I was thinking about. It was against Martin Murray. I read reports stating that Sturm should have gotten the nod, but he had to settle for a draw. My point being that not all close fights in Germany is awarded to the homeboy.

                Sylvester-Geale is a good example. Overall, Germany isn't nearly as bad as the US for home decisions.

                Any you're right, if I remember correctly, I scored Sturm-Murray 115-113 for Sturm.

                  Geale biggest problem is he doesn't land clean punches he works alot but doesn't catch guys with those judge friendly shots that Sturm will prob land this fight ends up playing out similiar to the Macklin bout back n forth who do you favor activity or harder shots

                    Sturm points maybe a late stoppage.

                    This is a fight I think will be possibly quite close with everyone typically screaming robbery.
