Color Line Arena, Hamburg, Altona, Germany - Two-time jr. middleweight champion Javier Castillejo (61-6, 41 KOs) scored what might become the upset of the year when he snatched the the WBA middleweight title by stopping once beaten Felix Sturm (25-2, 11 KOs) in the tenth round of their championship fight. The 38-year-old Castillejo becomes a three-time champion and brings his career back in full swing. [details]

This could happen to anyone though, right?Comment

Not really. Castillejo has decent power at best and he just stopped Sturm in his hometown.Comment

Holy moly. Sturm does suck. This is an upset for sure. Castillejo is a feather fisted paper champion. This is confusing...Sturm beats Delahoya (although he lost) and Delahoya beat Castillejo. Someone make a Vargas/Sturm fight. That would be intresting.Comment

now we all know the truth. De La Hoya was a fat blown up middleweight who had no business competing at 160lbs. he made Sturm look good that night.Originally posted by Vanilla GorillaComment

Castillejo is actually not that bad of a fighter, but he is way past his prime. In the last ten years, only De La Hoya and Vargas have been able to beat him and he was only stopped once over ten years ago. Also beat Karmazin a lot easier than Spinks did last week.Comment

DAAAAMN, no he didn't beat Sturm!!! Castillejo looked like **** against Vargas, well they both looked like **** on that fight. But I agree with some of you, DLH didn't look good against Sturm. Would you guys say DLH lost that fight? And I agree, a rematch between Castillejo and Vargas should be interesting @ 160 considering Vargas is talkin about the possibility of moving up.Comment

People should give Castillejo more credit. He went to Sturm's hometown and knocked his ass out. Castillejo isnt a bad fighter either.Comment
