**** Kirks ESB Championship 2012 ****

Everyone is picking Sturm ? :!:

 

Looks fine via my phone :good

 

And that's weird because?! :think

 

Yes, Chrome. The schedule was good as it was (regular font, in bold), don't change something that is not broken. :deal

 

4/13 - Michael Katsidis - Albert Menzah - Katsidis TKO
4/13 - Artemio Reyes - Alan Sanchez - Reyes TKO

 

I got Zbik. I just cant see Sturm win it.

 

Imagine this.

a) Zbik has zero punching power
b) Sturm is on the slide but always game
c) The fight is in Germany
And there's no denying the fact; a²+b²=c² :hey

 

Zbik has speed and volume :yep

Zbik is not very good. The controversial and highly competitive loss to Chavez really flattered him and made a lot of people getting their first impression of him think more highly of his skills, when if they'd seen his previous efforts (especially against Spada :scaredas: :dead) they'd realize that he's a pretty boring and mediocre fighter. That fight being as close & controversial as it was had more to do with what Chavez's lingering flaws than with any positive attributes of Zbik.

[Don't forget, Matt Vanda also had a controversial and highly competitive loss to Chavez. You wouldn't favor Vanda over FS, would you?]


Sturm on the other hand is a battle-tested long-reigning titlist who's had some stumbles and tough outings/close calls in a few of his defenses - but always hangs onto his title by hook or by crook. (some would argue by unfair means in his last two against the Brits...but both Macklin and Murray are considerably better than Zbik...)
