    Of course the home crowd will support their fighter, anything else would be crazy. Commentators are another issue.

    I can see why it was ruled a draw, two different styles and it comes down to what you prefer. I do feel that Sturm was clearly better the first half of the fight, then lost some pace during the second half. Still it was enough to deserve the win.

    And for the one who said Sturm threw the better punches in the fight: It´s normal when you pace yourself so minimal and throw only 5 jabs in a round and save yourself behind your gloves, it´s normal that you have the better punches, Griffin threw 3 or 4 times the punches Sturm threw...

    Griffin often didn´t hit his target, but he hit enough to hit Sturm more than he himself got hit, IMO he deserved the win... (btw, I gave all close rounds to Sturm, because of the champion-bonus)...

    Hmmmmmm I don't know what to think till I see the fight:think But it seem to me that more aggressive fighter which was Griffin should have got the fight:bbb

    Griffin won, believe me, I´m right now by my girlfriend at home, she lives with their cousin together, and he and a friend of him, who both like Sturm and wanted to see him win, agreed with me that Griffin won with at least 2 rounds (although I gave Sturm all the closer rounds because of his champion-bonus)...

    A fair decision in Germany - a last! A Griffin win wouldn´t have been controversial, though. But you can defend the the draw.
