Just wondered what peoples thoughts were on this December 2 Felix Sturm v Martin Murray in Germany I personally think its to early for murray and he will be out done in every department but let me know your opinions
Sturms beats him easily, especially if he still fights with his face like he did against Mitchell..Sturms KO's him first 6.
I like Murray but his career has not been set up to fight at this level just yet and even if he did have a few more fights I could not see him performing at world level, I think Sturm stops him late.
Sturm Tko mid-late rounds, more likely the later. Martin is the middleweight version of John Murray imo.
I give Murray a chance. Sturm is beatable, Macklin proved that. Murray is big and strong and he's got good boxing fundamentals. I reckon he has to bring it to Sturm from the off, just as Macklin did, but I think he should try for the stoppage because he isn't getting any kind of decision win. It's a big ask though.
If it's the Murray of the Carvalho fight I think he loses decisively but might last the distance. If it's the Murray of the Mitchell fight he loses early.
