    Hope Macklin can pull it off but I think Sturm will give him a beating.

    Also, Chagaev is Uzbek I think. You'll find that most top Europeans based in Germany often aren't German.

    I think Talbert and Stieglitz are potentially ethnic Germans though. Germany has a funny way of handing out citizenship, not 100% sure how it works but I know that if you are born in Germany of Turkish parents then you arent automatically German or some weird **** like that.

    Anyway, should be great and I booked flights and hotel today.

    Aren't you worried that Macklin will bottle it and pull out?

    No, I've not booked my hotel and flights. If I had booked flights and hotel then I would be worried.

    War Macklin!

    Definite underdog but Sturm is pushing on and you never know. Macklin has a punchers chance anyways. It would be class if he won because it would probably mean he'd defend against Barker or Lee. Imagine the banter on here if that came off.

    Slap do you recon he has the best chance out of all the Irish challengers this year:
    dudey, casey, magee?

    I think well see a similar result to the magee fight

    Of their current best fighters I think only Jurgen Braehmer is an authentic German. Most of the rest are foreigners based there who don't necessarily have German citizenship, some are German born but to immigrant parents/grand parents.
