The Worst German Robbery Yet

I had it 115-113 Sturm or 114-114.

Very close slug-fest. They took turns hitting eachother, but if we need a winner it should be the one with the tighter defense and more precise punches in Sturm.

But imo. a disappointing performance by Sturm against a very limited slugger.

 

Yeah i agree with previous posts...close fight with Sturm landing the cleaner shots but just not enough of them compared to the less eye catching, but still effective punches from Macklin. I had it the same as Judge Martinez 115-113 Macklin.

 

Everyone knows you need a knockout in Germany.

That is not the worst decision. That's just normal.

 

It was a close fight but to say macklin only won 4 rounds is shameful!

 

You talk ****ing shite, i back Felix all the way and thought he would school Macklin, What do body shots not count, his defense was tight but alot got through ,rewatch the fight Macklin won by three.
You could not score one of those rounds to Sturm in the opening 4 rounds... FACT :deal

 

I had it a draw, 116-112 is a disgrace though, those judges are crooked as ****

 

Sturm nicking it wouldn't have been a robbery,but come on 116-112 FFS

 

This post earns a :good from my side. A draw or a close points decision in favour of any of the two would have been acceptable, imo. Sturms performance was dissapointing, his style can never be that of a slugger, he lacks the workrate for it, he should have jabbed more, kept the guy at bey, fighting from the outside and keep moving laterally, which he hardly did. But it was no robbery, it simply was a close fight, which speaks badly of sturms performance, the guest was busy, ambitious and game, but one dimensional.

 

No robbery but 2 judges scoring 116-112? Give me a break.

 

I had it 116-113 (even 3rd) to Sturm. I can't really see where the disgust is from here, it was close, Macklin was highly ineffective despite being much, much busier

 

Germany have such a bad reputation now even remotely competitive fights are called robbery's

 

The judges were from the US (guy who gave it to Macklin), Puerto Rico and Spain (guys who gave it to Sturm)

 

I wonder which fight did you guys watch? Sturm was far too inactive. Yes he did land cleaner shots, but not enough to win the fight. Even by scoring the fight round by round, Macklin won it by at least 4 rounds.

Macklin outlanded him and outworked him by a lot. Sturm only landed the cleaner shots and that was at the last rounds.

 

it was a very close fight
the biggest robbery is Ottke-Reid
