How is Sturm Still even relevant and with a title? he isn't that good at all

[thebowtod]

I just dont understand how this guy continues to get title shots, He clearly lost to Geale, lost to Soliman, got some gifts against murray and Macklin, yet he got to get a shot at the ibf against barker? yea he won but thats because of the hip injury. I just dont get it, hes not very good yet is ranked highly(number 2 behind GGG in ring) and always gets shots.

why is he still relevant? because the UK still produce fighters

He was the IBF mandatory. Barker had to give him the shot. And Sturm is relevant in the sense that he brings a lot of money to the table in Germany. Barker is entitled to a rematch, though it appears unlikely he takes it. If he were to win that, that might push Sturm into irrelevancy. My understanding is that this fight was seen as Sturm's last shot.

Omg haha. Good one.

[Tyler_Durden]

He's relevant because he has a title, he has a title because he beat Barker..pretty simple.

[DoktorSleepless]

Because he's sexy.

[Pain~Lucy]

u're talking about him, now he's relevant on nsb again

[SkillspayBills]

Thread was answered in your own title. It's BECAUSE he has a belt that he is relevant. Definitely can't forgive his utter, blatant and cowardly ducking of GGG though.

He has money.

All it takes is someone to break their hip...
