who really trying to see this?

That was my first thought. Reportedly he was facing jail time after pissing dirty following the unequivocal robbery of the second Chudinov fight.

Yeah. I as well, read that he had to flee Germany to avoid jail.

Sturm’s CV has lots of iffy decisions. I actually think Germany trumps US and U.K. for judging skullduggery although Sauerland brought some shame on U.K. decisions in 2018

Well Sturm actually never really had that Ward/Ottke like hometown officiating. Somehow the judges never really appreciated his work. That goes not only for the DLH fight, but also for several of his defenses in Germany.

That seems to be how I remember it - and I'm also noting that this report comes courtesy of the Sarajevo Times, so nothing actually out of Germany or details of location etc.

If this ends up happening in Bosnia and Herzegovina or Armenia I guess we'll know why.

Sturm should have fought GGG like a man when he was the Mandatory for over 2 years, he kept paying WBA to get out of the fight

Disagree. There were a few times that was true (for instance, I thought he clearly bear Murray), but he also "won" or drew several fights in Germany he would have lost elsewhere. The Chudinov "win" was ludicrous and was the last of four or five questionable decisions that went his way, starting with his first tile "win" vs Velazco
