Vs a much larger payday. And maybe Sam thinks that stylistically he would have Sturms measure. If he got the win it would raise his stocks as a real contender and perhaps have Sturm considering early retirement  |
The value of belts has never been as diluted as it is right now, simply because there are so many of the bloody things. Better to have 1 or 10 than not, but Soliman choosing to fight Sturm, and in the process risk a guaranteed IBF title shot, only highlights the point.
