Abraham v. Sturm ~ who wins and why?

Abraham by KO. Sturm might outwork him and will probably win the early rounds, but Abraham will find an opening at one point, and catch him at the ropes.

 

I chose too close to call.

Sturm has a good jab and quite good defense. He also has the stamina to go the full twelve rounds whereas AA needs to fight smart and economical to spread his energy. AA has a lot of power and could therefore and the fight with one punch.

I think AA needs to be or pressured and make him fight every second of each round (he will than probably tire after 8 rnds) or outboxed and stay away from his power.

Tha latter scenario obviously suits sturm the best i think. But if he can execute it?... It's possible but not easy.

But sturm isn't easy for AA as well. Tough fight for both I guess.

 

Well spoken,sean! I quite agree with you.

I would only like to add that Sturm has already proved that he cant take a good shot from a known banger. Castillejo floored and stopped him.Abraham has more pop in his fists than the old Spanish vet,and Sturm's feather fisted punches wont bother him .
Abraham would probably lose the first few rounds due to his inactivity and due to Sturm's excellent jab,but he then would adjust his punches better and better connecting with more and more telling punches.And as we all know Abraham has the firepower to take out an opponent with a single shot.
Cant really see Sturm go the full route with the Armenian banger.I can be wrong of course.

 

Sturm will probably manage to outbox him in a couple of rounds until Abraham's firepower comes into play and KO's him.
