From the perspective of Ronald Hearns. He could have thrown his right hand more and let it go. It could have made a difference. He has potential a little, but for a tall guy his reach is no that big. I think it is 73 inches. His Dad's reach is 78 inches like a heavyweight. Not comparing him to his dad. That has always been unfair since his dad is so great. I feel sorry for Ronald. Maybe he can fight a few more fights and improve.
Not to take away from Ronald & Chavez JR but they will NEVER be as great as their dads were. Not even close. Their dads are legends so there's no shame in that. I do want Sturm to step it up as it was clear as daytime that he would beat Ronald. I hope he faces Martinez or at least Pirog.
Pipo 23 ,I think you called correctly. Felix is a hardnosed battler who if he came up vs. Martinez would be even $$$$:happy
ronald hearns last 5 fights Robert Kliewer 10-11-2 Delray Raines 17-7-1 Marteze Logan 26-42-2 Shadrack Kipruto 18-13-2 Patrick Thompson 15-14-1 sturm is a joke,,,,,hearns isnt even a top 25 guy sturm ducked his own countryman abraham sturm was knocked out by a 38 year old junior middle weight sturm fought 2 lifr and death fights with a journeyman named randy griffin sturm is a ****ing joke among jokes
I think that sturm may be forced to fight either golo or pirog later this year, or he may wind up a mando warrior and NEVER get another payday the likes which he craves again. Pirog has HBO's attention, so maybe sturm could make it worth dmitry's while and court him and the network over to germany for a uni fight. Otherwise he'll have, and i mean have, to fight GG on terrestial TV in germany. Either way, it will be the fight of his life. Pirog KO's him and golo...........50/50 fight at this juncture.
Big money in Germany give germans like Sturm,Sylvester and Braehmer easy fights year after year defending their titles against second class opponents. Universums problems send Braehmer to UK to fight Cleverly, good fight
Felix Sturm will never fight a threat. Why should he? He makes good money in Deustchland fighting not so great boxers (Don't want to start calling pro-boxers bums).
You claim Sturm hasnt fought good fighters but would be happy with him fighting Golovkin and Pirog who havent fought anywhere near the class of Sturm and are a level behind Sturm at this time Sturm has won of the best MW resumes in the division at this time. Sturm has a debateable loss to De La Hoya that many thought he won, but has a good revenge win over Castillejo, former WBO champ Schenk, Sylvester who is current IBF MW champ & Gevor, throw in an old former WBC MW champ Cherifi, Lorenzo, Varon who has just pushed world rated Macklin hard and Masoe. Its not a bad resume at all
