    Wow, Macklin got jobbed. I like Sturm a lot, but he did NOT win that fight. Sturm needs to give that dude a rematch.

    Also, there has been a lot of chatter about him trying to get a unification in the states. Anyone else thinking that's a load of crap? He hasn't fought outside of his backyard since the DLH robbery (and don't say he lost, he beat the **** out of Oscar).

    Sturms whole side was bright red. ****ing brutal body work by Macklin. Body punching is a lost art these days. It was exciting to see it come back.

    Sturm better box him. He does not have the power to slug it out with Macklin.

    Sturm won it close but clearly. Nobody got jobbed.

    From Half way on from the fight it was most of the Sturm Fight.

    Sturm was picking Macklin apart with better and more meaningfull punches and was on edge to stop him just before final bell.
