    That was all to do with trying to big up Matthew " Brummy " Macklin, and nothing to do with Sturm.

    is there any evidence to support this? complains during or after the fight ? (even informal mentions to his coach inbetween rounds) no? ok great lets get back to focusing on how much of a robbery his "win" was

    He was shouting "I'm melting! I'm Melting!" and then all that was left was a coat, a black hat and a green puddle...

    But now that I think about it, that also could have been the Wizard of Oz :think

    You see that's exactly what Sturm wants. He's trying to divert attention from the robbery. What a little weasel.

    Sperm is a piece of trash, I hope he gets sparked badly in his next fight.

    Toxic chemicals on the gloves, wow what will these guys think up next :-( Sturm was basically completely blind and still managed to get the W :clap:

    Its no wonder Russia has been banned altogether from the Olympic games.

    That cheat Chudinov has to be banned for life after this. An ATG middleweight champ could have been seriously injured by this cheating. :)

    Do you actually enjoy looking like a complete and utter tool?

    The CEO of Grant himself confirmed the gloves should not be flaking away and changing color like that. This is no laughing matter, Cheatinov could be facing a lengthy ban.

    If the gloves were tainted with something it would affect both fighters. After all, Chudinov was holding those gloves to his face. This has to be the most idiotic excuse ever.

    Exactly. I do think this point should be addressed. I have no clue why people are just brushing it under the carpet.

    Just because Sturm got an undeserved victory, it doesn't mean it was right for Chudinov to cheat, even before the corrupt judges' decision was made.

    It's not an idiotic excuse, there's a difference between holding it BY (not 'to') your face, and resting it on your face. If you're hitting someone, they're going to get the full dose of it.

    Muhammad Ali suffered the same problem when his eyes were burning from an opponents gloves.

    Is everyone just choosing to ignore the little fact that Chudinov brought this everyone's attention not Sturm, because he thinks his gloves were sabotaged?

    And now Sturm is trying to turn it around on him and make him look like the bad guy. That's a very defensive and guilt riddled response from Felix.
