He always has looked and been strong to be fair. In the past he was a slow starter and could let opponents outwork him but he was on a mission tonight and came out guns blazing. Couple that with bad performance by Barker = KO2
Like almost every other elite athlete, he probably has his whole professional career... don't be naive all of a sudden now. I didn't see a different Sturm in there. I saw a lesser Barker than I'd ever seen. Barker looked and fought anxious.
I guarantee you I can name more Americans that have been caught as drug cheats than you can from any other country. :hi:
No, that is not true. Strum is a strong hard hitting mofo like people are saying how strong Sturm looked
No. Against Soliman he was blasting Sam around the thing in a way that Winky didn't and Mundine couldn't in their third fight. He looked just as strong as tonight but appeared to get psyched out as the rounds ticked by and Sam did his usual crazy jig. Sturm appears to have learned from all his close calls. He has a ram rod jab and reasonably heavy hands, particularly for a guy who is mostly safety first. Factor that in with his precision punch placement and Barker's well known physical vulnerability and it was a disaster in the making for Barker.
Must've been juicing -- no way a monster like Barker could possibly have been defeated by someone who wasn't.
