Sturm v Geale 1. 9-10 2. 10-9 3. 10-9 4. 10-9 39-37 I really want Geale to win but I like Sturm's accuracy better than Geale's workrate. Sturm reminds me of Wlad because he throws virtually no right hands unless he's 100% sure they land.
Thing is, Sturm is winning on clean effective punching. Thing is, judges over the world are idiots thinking other things count too. Could be even when 3-1, 4-0 is about as good as it gets on a proper scorecard. Close rounds, but Sturm just ahead in 1st and 3rd, clearly in 2nd and 4th.
What the **** is with the ref calling watch the head every time Daniel gets a a good combo going. trying to put him off :twisted:
Sturm didn't steal the 4th any more than Geale stole the 3rd, btw. Everybody make sure you're not being fooled by "strong finishes"...
2-2, Geale has no real attributes, i think it'll remain neck and neck til maybe the 8th, sturm will do enough late on..
Sturm wins the 4th, because the occasional Geale right hand isn't enough to overcome the constant stream of jabs and hooks coming his way. That's not just an educated left that Sturm has...it's doctorate level. :deal
He took one hard shot, then covered up and let Geale walk him across the ring for half a minute before resuming control by the end. He wasn't exactly on spaghetti legs. :conf
