    We have seen some dodgy goings in favour of Matchroom fighters, I think the opposite will happen here. I don't want it to because I like Barker but I see him getting robbed.

    Imagine if it was fought organised by Matchroom! He could be knocked down 3 times. Land one punch all evening and still retain his title!

    If you are going to try on something against a matchroom fighter now is the time, after all, who is going to take their protests about fair play etc seriously?

    Sturm has had some stupid decisions go his way in Germany so don't be surprised if he beats Barker on points when Barker deserves it.

    i expect Sturm to knock Barker out or stop him.

    Barker is a terribly nice guy, but he's very limited.

    Sturm is a big guy, can be a bit lazy to be fair, but he's a huge middleweight, and i expect him to walk through Barkers slow, weak punches

    Dreadful biased uninformed rubbish on this thread...apart from Chris right above ^.
    If you guys would just follow the facts you would see the one likely to be robbed is Felix.
    He got his last favour against Matthew Macklin. Since then he has had THREE shaftings in quick succession...Murray, Geale and Soliman.
    C'mon guys at least make SOME attempt at being reasonable......
    Fortunately for fair play I hope and believe Chris is right....Der Sturminator will leave Barker and his fans in tears...

    The Geale and Murray fights were not robberies.

    I think this ends in a draw, will have a little flutter on that.

    As if Geale robbed Sturm of anything other than his dignity. His 'performance' against Soliman afterwards was pathetic. And can people stop bleating about the DLH fight with Sturm. Being on the receiving end of a robbery doesn't mean you are entitled to rob other fighters if well deserved victories.

    It used to sicken me how Sturm, Slyvester and Abraham held their titles hostage for all those years.

    Part of me, after Saturday, initially read this thread and thought "Good! Serves the Matchroom mafia right" but I really like Dazzler and would hate to see it happen to him.

    I think after Saturday it deserves to happen to a Mathchroom fighter. But I like Barker and Bellew so dont want it to happen to them.
