Barker will probably wipe the floor with Sturm - and the odds aren't bad either

    I hope you're right. I want to see Sturm get wiped from our sport. He's terrible.

    Sturm has a good jab....That's it. Barker will beat him in sheer volume as Sturm has a very low work rate, I think Barker may get a late stoppage but I'm going to go with Barker winning on wide points....Even if it is in Germany.

    Sturm looked **** against Soliman, even if Soliman was pissing roids. Geale had him hurt in their fight. I wouldn't say Barker is going to wipe the floor with him, but there is a chance that Barker can get a late stoppage.

    Sturm fights are usually close or at least have really close scorecards. In no way is Barker a sure bet. I think he is favorite to win but i expect a close fight where he could even lose.

    Barker wins comfortably, 2.00 is great odds assuming Barker gets a fair shake

    Wipe the floor? :lol:

    If Murray couldn't, how would Barker?
    I expect it to be a SD either way.

    Barker will need to knock Sturm out cold twice to even get a sd loss.

    The odds are fair.

    If it were in the UK, I'd pick Barker by early referee stoppage. :yep

    But it's a 50-50 fight with fair officiating.

    After this fight Barker might be glad of a job wiping the floor...in Sturms gym!

    I think that Barker winning a belt has done a lot for his confidence, and I think he'll take it into the ring and edge a 'w.'

    Sturm got robbed in his own backyard against Murray and lost with reasonable scorecards against Geale and Soliman. I wouldn't bet on a German verdict.
