Felix Sturm Vs. Daniel Gale + Undercard. RBR and Discussion

[crold1]

He won the championship rounds. Geale had a nice stretch during the middle of the fight.

I thought Sturm's surge was 8-10. Geale won 11 & 12.

Dan Rafael more or less saw the same thing I did, not that I think he's a great scorer. I will admit to disliking Geale's style of fighting though. He strikes me as being a volume puncher but lacking the finesse of someone like Calzaghe.

That's exactly what I saw

i agree. he doesn't have the finesse of calzaghe.

Yes it does, since each round is scored individually, so for me Geale won clearly more rounds than Sturm, and if I gave the closer rounds to Sturm I would have a draw, but if I give them to Geale it would be a W for Geale.

So yeah, it does makes sense.

No, it still doesn't. You scored it 115-113 which we can say is 7 rounds to 5. You're fine with it being 6 rounds apiece but not 8 rounds to 4.

If one of your rounds can be seen by someone as swinging in a different way then another round can also go the other. One round difference is one round difference no matter how you look at it.

I'm arguing about your score or the result or anything. Just saying that if you're prepared to accept a one point margin of difference it can be both ways.

Anyway, I'm off to work now so doubt I'll be checking in again so knock yourself out with the response.

WBA orders middleweight title resolution by December 31

On Thursday, the World Boxing Association issued a resolution ordering the winners of the two WBA middleweight championship fights scheduled for today to fight each other by December 31. WBA “Super Champion” Felix Sturm will fight Daniel Geale in Oberhausen, Germany. A few hours later, in Verona New York, WBA middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin will defend his title against #3 ranked Grzegorz Proksa. Tom Loeffler of K2 Promotions stated “We are glad that the WBA has issued this binding resolution and ordered the winner of Golovkin/Proksa to fight the winner of Sturm/Geale by the end of this year. Gennady has waited long enough to prove that he is the real WBA middleweight champion.”

Sturm got out hustled....at one time during the fight I counted 24 thrown punches by Geale before Sturm threw 1 back..and when he did, it was a single jab...smh

It was frustrating. Sturm doesn't have pop like Abraham, so he can't afford to go a long time without throwing a punch. Dumb strategy, mutha****a lost me $$$ today. I was pissed off a little while ago, but now I feel bad for Sturm, good for Geale, and I'm getting ready for Golovkin/Proksa.
