Sturm - Gevor RBR

**** man. We have the ref and Peter Ploog in this thread defending the decision. Disgusting.

 

I share your feelings, Odo, but I had to suffer even more than you, because listening to Günther Peter Ploog, whole fight long.
It`s a scandal, how the zdf commentators analysed this fight. :scaredas:

 

Zbik on now if you all left im lonely in the brit one

 

You are probably right.Must have been a true pain to listen to that German chatterbox!

 

Come on Odo, i´ve read a lot of your post and i know you´re not a Sturm-fan. As i said i can understand if one gives the fight to Gevor, cause he was much more active, especially in the first half of the fight. To me it was a could of been either way type of fight. People love Gevor-kind of fighters, cause he´s the type of guy who´s giving his all, great heart, but there was no quality in his punches, Sturm landed much cleaner. No way this was a robbery. I have seen a lot of really bad decisions coming from Germany, but this one was not, it was just close. I can only disagree with the 117:111 score. That was much to clear for Sturm.

 

Gevor clearly won the first 6 rounds

 

If you watch this fight again, unbiased concerning fightstyle, round by round, without Ploogs comments and the spectators noise, and you just count the clear shots, then you`ll see that Gevor wasn´t just more busy, he in fact landed much more than Sturm.

 

Sturm was getting buzzed by Gevor at least 2 or 3 times from uppercuts, GEVOR was ALSO landing clean my friend.

 

Yeah that joke Ploog must be some kind of hypnotist to his countrymen.

 

What's happening in Zbik-Spada?

 

The *rumour* is Sturm AND Pavlik are getting 7 million EACH for to fight - it was a forgone conclusion that unless Gevor sledgehammered Sturm into the canvas he was going to win. Sucha fight would make the promoters/judges/sanctioning bodies too much money for them not to fix it.


(Yes Gevor had a higher workrate though but Sturm was cleaner. Depends on your POV - remember many here say Hopkins beat Calzaghe for just the same reason Sturm beat Gevor....) I had a draw personally. No 'clear' winner.

 

I doubt Pavlik and Sturm will get 7mil each if they fight, it's not big enough a fight.

 

I had a feeling that was going to effect this fight i had read about Sturm vs Pavlik. Shades of Sturm vs DLH with B-Hop in wait

German press: Sturm is the king of the ring: A super-fight - a clear, fair trial!
