Felix Sturm - Sergio Martinez a possibility

Way way to late now it's a joke fight :-(

 

Hopw can a guy who held a title for years drop out of the top 40 with one loss??:huh

 

Take it up with them. :conf

Sanctioning bodies....I cant even begin...

 

Eh, I actually don't hate the move on their part.

Not to in any way detract from Cotto, whom I love & respect - but Martinez did look to have become completely shot to bits overnight. His abilities in the critical areas of lateral movement and upper body defense were null, and he didn't even have the firepower anymore to get and keep the respect of a guy who used to get dropped with some regularity by light welterweights.

The version of Martinez that lost his belt honestly wasn't a top 40 head-to-head middleweight in the world, and the WBC could've been operating under the not unreasonable assumptoin that, based on the nature of that loss, an official retirement announcement from Maravilla was an imminent and foregone conclusion.

If now Lou DiBella wants to milk every drop he can from his aging cow before putting it out to pasture (gross hypocrisy from the guy who callously used Jermain Taylor's back to back KO losses to give himself a little PR boost with his loudly publicized decision to not promote him anymore for "concerns over Taylor's health" even though it gave him a convenient excuse to jettison a former star whose stock had dramatically lowered from his stable...and let's bear in mind that when Taylor returned to action two years later it was under the same banner of DBE...) that doesn't obligate the WBC to reinstate Martinez anywhere in their rankings. He was given a career-ending beating and the safe assumption was that he was done and removed from the active roster and from all rankings.

 

Sturm already easily beat the hype job DelaHoya. The other media created hype job Sergio just isn't in his league. Felix wins this by late stoppage.

 

Herr Catic just lost a clear wide decision to a 40-year-old midget with feather-fists and eleven career losses. :!:


That said, he may still be able to grind out a stoppage of Martinez if the latter can't move or defend himself anymore like the Cotto defeat made it appear.

 

Typical cowardly move by Sturm, he wanted no part of Martinez in his prime.

 

only way those two would be interesting is if they did a doubleheader with triple G.

 

Call Doc Brown and tell him to swing by 2011 and get the "prime" versions of these 2.

 

I'd like to show 2008 Sturm his future fight with Daniel Geale and then show him Golovkin v Geale.
Maybe that already happened and that's why Sturm avoided GGG.
My head hurts

 

sturm wanna die?
