Comments Thread For: Drozd: Sturm-Chudinov II Decision is a Disgrace To Boxing

[Fury4daWIN]

It was a shameful decision(I had trouble giving Sturm 3 rds), but Germany is known for many of these. They should be banned from any Championship fights until they can guarantee unbiased, fair judging.

Foreign boxers simply need to avoid fighting in Germany altogether. If they do they need to understand that they'll need a knockout to win or else deal with the possibility of being blatantly robbed. No point bellyaching about it at this point.

Awful decision but one you could see coming. Chud only got decision in first fight there because he pretty clearly won all the rounds. This time he only clearly won about 8. Thats not enough in Germany. You have to dominate or you dont win. There's a reason Chud was only a -300 favorite in this fight after EASILY winning the first fight - its because it was in Germany again. In any other venue Chud would've been about a -700 favorite.

Boxnation broadcast

Has anyone here viewed the fight on boxnation? I watched it on tape and was
Appalled that the anouncer was giving round after round to Sturm. He kept on
saying "another good round for sturm". Infuriated, I just shut the volume, but I was not surprised that the Homeboy won in Germany. Typical european bull****.
I was very surprised at the play by play guy though.

Terrible decision. Sturm and Sat 1 paid off the judges so he can have a big last fight against Abraham (which would sadly still be huge in germany) and can demand more money.

There is no way Sturm won more than 4 rounds in that fight. He got outlanded every round and Sturm also never hit Chudinov hard.

Didn't see fight. Want to see it now.

unbelievable decision, watching on boxnation, who was that commentator!?!? for every 5 or 6 composed (albeit relaxed very one paced) punch combo from chud was met back with no more than 1 or 2 at a time but the crowd went wild of course. I couldn't believe chuds work rate to still lose this fight, he was getting through with a lot of around the guard hooks but Sturm is resilient and chudinov needs more power at this weight to make the accurate punching pay off.

chudinov did give away a couple but jeez, over 1000 punches thrown in this fight, that'd be hard to do just on the damn heavy bag across 12, you're not being dominated if you can throw that much

[Æthelstan]

yes it was a robbery.. a fair scorecard would have been 10-2 or 9-3 for Chudinov

and I agree the boxnation commentators were giving Sturm too much credit, he really wasn't doing much except surviving in most rounds

That's why you don't fight over in Germany they've done this before and they'll do it again that said I feel bad for Chudinov he should be 19-0 atm.

Your right...It's happened again and again in Germany and fighters still go there to defend there title.....we see it with Abrahams,sturm and even klitchkos adopted home ...you have to blame the management of chudinov's team for fighting in Germany ...u know it happens so stay away from the God damn place.....I actualy hate watching the shows in Germany ..no atmosphere and those singers and bands they have before a big fight....Jesus horrible
