Don't think he has the ability to legitimately outpoint him anyway so it's all the one. He has a decent chance of knocking him out imo. It's not a foregone conclusion that Sturm beats him but he will rightly be the favourite going into the fight.
Can't believe Sturm is ducking the rematch from Sato. How has Macklin got this opportunity without having to beat Sato first?
Team Gevor- Team Macklin's contract issues 'ridiculous lie' and suggest they would have to get paid if Macklin Strum is to happen http://www.irish-boxing.com/stories/march11/mar11_macklin_gevor_dispute.html
I think Macklin will come out and go wild and gas in his eagerness to stop Sturm. I hope he pulls it off though so it's one less belt contested in germany.
