Never seen Strum better. won with his left, our reached, in the middle distance, jabs, hooks off the jab, hooks to the body....dont' think he used his right more than once a round. A real judge fight. Good one, even if he won 11-1 my judgment.
Yep, I agree, a bit sad that he doesn´t fight like that every time. He clearly is the number three mw at the moment.
Strum before he lost to castillio, hd run the 12 and was booed, one of the reasone eh tried too hard to Ko and got Koed This time asked why he risked it in the 12, said a good champ, fights all 12 rounds. This was a real grudge fight, and becasue of Sylvester's longer reach had to fight from the middle distance.
Props to Sturm, he clearly won without clinching or running. Sturm had the better jab and worked well off his jab. Props also to Sylvester, he was somewhat competitive during the whole fight, especially the first half, and gave his best. In the end, it was a good action-filled fight and a hard earned and good win for Sturm (but I still don't like him hehe...)
Actually, if Sturm fights like that with a bit more movement perhaps he poses huge problems to Abraham who is not a stalker but a very lazy counterpuncher. I´d still pick Abraham but I wouldn´t count Sturm out. Pavlik would beat him though.
Abraham's punching power is too much for Sturm of course Sturm is the better Boxer but Abraham would catch him with his punch and Knock him out. Pavlik is too big for Sturm.
Then look for the same type of fight from the middle distance, shell. If he's got even on reach he fights other wise, more open more right hand....but then again, he was fighting against a good shell defence tonight. So Pavlic should be more open.
