Abraham's camp just submitted an offer to Sturm for 2.5 million Euro to get the fight on. I think it is an interesting match-up. IMO Abraham is underrated but both fighters are very good. Hopefully this fight will happen.
!f a shop worn castillejo was able to ko Adnan Katic , Abraham will murder him...they no more in the ammateurs(sturm beated Abraham in the ammateurs...):deal
Abraham by either late round stoppage or UD. Very interesting fight and the winner should get a shot at Pavlik next summer.
Sturm nothing special...he made his name by fighting an undertrained and over confident Golden *****...peace
It seems to me that Sturm is the more skilled boxer, but I can't imagine him avoiding Abraham's right hand for a full 12 rounds. He does not have the power to make AA respect him, and therefore he would not be able to keep Arthur off of him for 12 long rounds. At some point AA would land, and it's over.
They make a big thing of Sturm victory over Sylvester but Sylvester was fighting a bunch of euro bums and beside an old castillejo and a CAPABLE but AVERAGE Amin Asikainen who even managed to ko him once in their 2 fights he has done nothing and therefore is just another euro bum on Sturm resume....
I think Sturm puts up a good fight until he gets caught. Abraham likely will stop him in the final 4 rounds.
I think Sturm would box well for the first 6 rounds, but he will start to get beat up... toward the end he would have taken too much punishment and eventually will either get KOd or his corner will throw in the towel
