Comments Thread For: Felix Sturm Blasts Out Predrag Radosevic in Four

[MDPopescu]

Yes he did travel, he went to the states to fight Oscar and got robbed. I'm sure you remember that.

Excuses: I was never capable to focus on De La Hoya fights -- too much PPV business-oriented in order for me to assess those fights.

(Then Sturm traveled once in 44 fights.)

sure if he's standing on a 5 inch box

According to boxrec he is and if you look at weigh in photos that may be correct as Sturm is 5 11 1/2.

Radosevic is at least 5 9 anyway I think.

How is saying that Sturm beat De la Hoya an excuse? Sturm definitely won that fight as far as i'm concerned although of course De La Hoya was not really a middleweight.

American fighters are never called out for always fighting in the States, yet everyone else seems to be for fighting in their home country.

If you don't get irony it's your problem.
I'm from Europe, but I still don't like the German way of dealing with pro boxing.

I do get irony, I just hadn't expected such sophistication on a Boxing forum.

Sturm wouldn't fight GGG when Golovkin was his mandatory. Absolutely no chance he will ever fight him. He lives in fear of any opponent with a decent punch, but he loves to talk about fights he would never accept. Is anyone really surprised they fed him a cupcake in a qualifier today? Sturm will be fighting for paper belts as long as he wants to

He is not only one that is ducking GGG. He knows he doesn't have a lot of chances in that one so nothing wrong to try to get a rematch with Geale.

For other comment I don't think DLH didn't have a 'decent punch' or Macklin or Murrey or Zbik or Geal...

Zbik? Geale? DLH at middleweight? You're being sarcastic I assume.

Zbik, Geale or a MW DLH don't have power and in spite of the Martinez KD's i don't think Murray is a big puncher either he has 11KO's in a career filled with very soft opposition. Macklin was the only guy who has some solid power.

[Simurgh]

Depends what is the reference point. If we are talking in terms of GGG power than they all hit like kids.

Nevertheless. I know Sturm gets hate on this fourm. I still like the guy and wish he beats Geale.
