[YT]ccK-058R9wE[/YT] Interesting fight tomorrow. Many people think Chudinov is going to brutalize Sturm, but I think the old fella still has something left, and is going to punish the novice tomorrow, like Eubank Jr did his brother.
Despite Sturm's age, it is impressive that Chudinov is taking this fight after only 12 professional fights.
When you have a title opportunity you can't say no if you don't have really good backing, might be your last chance
on the contrary I feel he looks no different than he looked at 160.....:huh mind you he was a big middleweight...
He looks the same (shape wise) but when you see them standing side by side, Sturm looks a lot bigger than Chudinov.
Chud looks small for this weight class, but he can crack. I expect Sturm to land a lot of jabs, cuz Fedor defence is ****ty, but when did he last time fought a young puncher? Intriguing fight
Choo-choo looks like, with a bit of effort, he could make 160. Sturm, a career middle, looks very tight at 168...much tighter than choo-choo! Strange one this.....
Never watched a full Chudinov fight but if Sturm is still Sturm I dont expect him to lose to a rookie who doesnt seem to have much but a hard punch.
Most of Fedor's opponents are taller than him, no big deal, and Sturm has been stopped before by Castillejo and that was a legit stoppage IMO. Sturm has been fighting light hitters for awhile now, Macklin, Murray, Geale, Soliman, Barker, and Stieglitz aren't known for their KO's. Fedor will bring the pressure like no one has in recent memory for Sturm he'll be like Macklin with big power. This match will end very bady for Felix, the Sturm may be coming to an end.
Chudinov's claim to fame is knocking out some 700th ranked Australian guy lol You cant scoff at Sturm's resume and then turn around and praise Fedor We've discussed this a few weeks ago, and tomorrow we'll finally see who was right
Sturm has an awesome resume against feather fisted but good opponents and in recent years has had troubles beating almost all of them. Fedor will walk right through him. :deal
