Is Sturm now trained by Freddy Roach? Fighting Ronald Hearns, a guy who is decent fighter, but nowhere the calibre that his father was, will do nothing for Sturm!
Why the hell would Sturm fight Hearns? Puzzling. Serve him right if he got caught looking while avoiding legitimate challengers.
Sturm has made himself completely irrelevant in the 160 division. There are plenty of good fighters at 154-160 who would have jumped at the chance to face Sturm. Hearns is a decent fighter but he's not ready to go to Germany and beat Sturm. Sturm will win a wide ud or possibly a late stoppage. I would love to see Hearns pull off the upset but its not likely. Sturm by decision.
Sturm talked about fighting Corey Spinks as well but I guess he settled for Hearns. This well be an early stoppage. Hearns has never recovered since being exposed by Harry Joe Yorgey. By the end of the year we should see Sturm against the winner of Golovkin/N'Jikam vs Khurtsidze/Lorenzo(?)
Like sturm style, wish univerisum would try to promote some boxing cards in america, i think they could find there is a big market here for euro boxers. Sturm has the skills to beat anybody at middleweight now, an they have some good heavweights in there camp, they could be a power house here in america. This i think is why a lot of there fighters jump boat, little do they know, that if they started the career in America, then wouldn't have got as far, i.e sturm, klitschkos ect...
Sturm had so much potential-but he became a self promoter and is taking low risk fights until he can no longer get away with it.He has become a clone of Ottke. Shame on him.:tired
Spinks is still in the game, as in one of the contenders?! He only fought once in 2010, losing his 154 lbs (!!!!) IBF belt by TKO to a 37 yr old guy named...... Cornelius Bundrage.
Hearns loses...of course, but I would like to see it. Its a winnable fight for Hearns, but I doubt he has what it takes. Strum's jab ain't no joke especially on his side of the world.
I don't agree at all. I think after Strum was rapped in the DLH fight he decided. **** it I can stay in Europe fight bums and make that dough *****! So that is what he proceeded to do. It worked.
Where did you get those numbers? Interesting. He isn´t with Universum anymore. I know people love to hate on Ottke but that´s one thing he really didn´t do. He faced everyone his division had to offer bar Calzaghe and his stablemate Beyer. Sturm faced like no one bar Sylvester. You are right with the rest though.
