Comments Thread For: Photos: Geale Ends The Long Title Reign of Felix Sturm

[raskat]

Sturm was due for a loss. He has never gone out to try and dominate his opponents, only this time he didn't get the benefit of a close decision. If I was Sturm, I would look towards an opportunity to risk it all in a fight against a high profile opponent, he has nothing to lose now.

Sturm was always a safety-first fighter and he will always be. You will never see him open up too much (by throwing too many punches). its just not his style.

The future is not bright for Sturm. It will be verry difficult for him to win another title. The best thing he could do now is fight Abraham for a last payday and get knocked out.Martinez and Golovkin would knock him out 100%, propably even Chavez jr.

If Golovkin gets pushed by HBO to fight the Ward-Dawson winner and Chavez jumps to 168 win/lose/draw against Martinez, I think there will be plenty of vacancies to fill.

No-one going to mention that this was genuinely excellent boxing match?

Top-class stuff from beginning to end, fought at a very fast pace while maintaining a very high quality - good stuff from both guys!
Personally had Geale by a point, but wouldn't of argued with a draw, & wouldn't of been surprised by a narrow win for Sturm.

And while there is plenty of options on the table for Geale now, a rematch would be as good as the first in my opinion.

Great weekend for boxing, with the big contests matching or exceeding the promotional hype, & I hope the run continues...
