    Sturm didn't throw remotely enough and got completely outlanded and taken out of his gameplan. Terrible robbery.

    Macklin 7-5 at worse. Coming forward, throwing more, landing more. Simple.

    Close fight, that I would have just edged towards MAcklin for his greater work rate throughout the fight, more than strums better accuracy.

    Having said that, not a clear robbery, but what is ****ed up is the fact 2 judges had the score 116-112 which is complete nonsense. Those corrupt ****s need hanging

    You need to bring a sledgehammer and 2 by 4 to win in Germany

    115-113 to Macklin is completely fine, closer than it honestly should be. 116-112 to Sturm is a travesty for boxing.

    Sturm lost by a couple of rounds. It was a close fight though.

    So 116-112 was a fair reflection of the fight was it? Don't tell people to 'grow up' because they call a patently obviously bad decision a 'robbery', if you don't complain about **** like that then it becomes uncontraversial and the norm.

    That decision sucked big time. Macklin won that fight going away. Sturm had his moments, but they were few and far between.

    I hate watching fights out of Germany because of the bias judging. Looks like you have to KO the German fighter to walk out with a win.

    Total bull**** decision.

    Most of the time when half the fans say one guy won clearly, and the other half say it was a close fight that could have gone either way, the wrong guy won.

    Sturm's record now in Germany is 32-1-1. You have to KO him to win; simple as that.
