    Give it up Len.

    Felix's biggest win is a loss.

    Forget about me being a sturm fan for a second. As a boxing fan I genuinely want to know what happened to Sturm on Saturday. It was like he reverted to novice level overnight. Personally I find that amazing and Im looking to pick peoples brains see what happened.

    Nah - right from the first bell nothing worked for him.
    It was like he regressed to novice level.

    Its a lot more complicated than, say, he had a few good rounds at the start then gassed due to not being fit, or Soliman figured him out, or he got injured, or something.

    He didnt have a few good rounds. Hell, he didnt have a few good seconds. He was totally flat and clueless, totally lost, all through the fight. How can that happen?

    Sturm had one big problem ,, he was facing Soliman , facts are Soliman is'nt a great boxer , he has struggled at the higher level for years , but he does have a shite style , one that you can handle or you can't , Sturm just cannot handle tht ackward style that Soliman , alias spider arms has , its that simple really , Mundine for example , hammered Soliman , stopping him and making him look like an ameteur , I doubt if Mundine would of beat Sturm though .. Sturm has a bogey man and his name is SAM SOLLIMAN

    I know Sam is all wrong for Felix. Without a doubt that had a big part to play in it. But Sturm fought this guy before - and he dealt with him much better then.
    This time it was like someone had hit the reset button and Sturm had regressed to novice level overnight. All he could do was stand stiff and upright, walk after Sam cluelessly with no plan, not cutting the ring, not using his best asset, his jab and he got hit with practically every punch Soliman threw.
    If Sam was any kind f puncher he wuld have stopped Felix.

    This is not to take anything away from Sam who was amazing for any age never mind his age - (almost too amazing, but lets not be bad-minded!)

    If I just woke up from a 15-year coma and saw that fight my initial reactin would be something like: " Sturms mamagement should be shot. Their man is totally overmatched here."

    If you then told me Felix was a veteran of 10+ years at the top, 3-time world champion, 20+ title fights blah blah I would be like: "Fukk off - pull the other one"
