    Absolutely disgraceful decision, how in hell did those judges score that fight to sturm?
    What exactly were they watching ? Macklin won that fight by two or three rounds, but I guess its another case of not wanting the next big fight for sturm biting the dust (martinez) , just like when sturm was robbed against De la Hoya years ago because the DLH v BHOP fight would have been scrapped if sturm had got that decision.
    Sturm should feel embarassed to still call himself world champion after that robbery, and the judges should look for another career and eye tests while they are at it.

    Aye Ottke Reid was much, much worse.

    I had it a draw, 116-112 was a complete **** take.

    What rounds did people give Sturm (certainly not any of the first four)? I gave him three of the middle rounds and the 12th. That's about it. Four out of twelve. Maybe five rounds if you want to be generous. But boxing is a bizarre sport. Eye of the beholder. Especially in Germany.

    Close fight I had macklin 2 points up going into last round. Felix took the last round so mac by a point. It wasn't robberry cos it was quite close but for me macklin did enough.
     
  13. Anyone who scored this fight for Sturm need not bother even watching boxing. Sturm got his ass beat in this fight plain and simple.

    i had it 2 rounds to sturm.could have givin a draw if i was biased and went with my countryman//kinda reminds me of how close grooves and degale was.but no1 complained about that...the judge that had it 116 112 was obviously sitting thinking about bunny rabbits and cotton candy

    The worst German robbery was around 1939 when the Nazis stole all the gold and property from the Jews. Oh wait we are talking about boxing, sorry.
