Close fight had Geale 6-5-1 115-114. Could see 114 or 115-113 for Sturm also. Sturms fights are hard to score because in a lot of rounds it is clean punches vs work rate. Geale has won twice in Germany against the home fighters not many have done that, suprised he got the win since I don't think anyone could complain if it went the other way since a lot of the rounds were close.
Scores were too far apart but Geale got his just reward. I was expecting the Germans to give it to Strum but fair dues they gave it to the better man. British fighting is more corrupt than German.
cracking fight. every time geale put three or four shots together, sturm looked very troubled. he has no poker face.....you can see him blowing hard after three rounds and he depends on the last thirty seconds of each round but geale didnt let him get away with that tonight. super stuff, sturm didnt seem bemused with the decision either....better man has the belts imo
