    How many times have we seen fighters offer that after a fight and it dont happen. It aint done to Sturm, lets see what his promoter thinks.

    Gutted for Matt, I thought he won. Matt vastly outworked Sturm and controlled the pace of the bout, throwing one or two nice combinations/shots a round does not warrant giving a round to a fighter in my books when the other guy has been throwing and landing shots (not same force or quality) fairly consistently for the rest of the round.

    He promotes himself, so if he has any shred of integrity and ambition he will make the rematch.

    Great fight, i don't think it was a robbery because that's how it goes in Germany and let's face it, Mackin would have gotten the decision in Engand

    i scored it as if i was a fan of sturm and had it 115 115. when in reality matt won by 2 rounds. for 2 judges to hav it by 4 to sturm is just wrong.
