Scheduled for 2/19 on BoxRec...is this real? what the hell has Hearns done to earn a title shot?!?!?!
Why are you suprised, this isnt some new ****, sturm and the wba have been doing this for years now. In a ideal world he would face martinez or pirog or golovkin but not a word about this just a bum or journeyman every 3 months.
You won´t believe what Sturm has come up with for the promotion. The fight is called "The Reckoning", because Hearns Jr. wants to avenge his fathers defeat to Marvin Hagler by beating Felix Sturm. How? Well for approximately 24 hours now, Marvin Hagler is Felix Sturm´s big idol.
Didn't Sturm try to pull the same **** when he fought Oscar, saying that he owned De La Hoya posters because Oscar was his idol?
He wouldn't even fight Abraham when the whole of Germany called on him to do it. He's a ****ing idiot.
I say KO because Hearns has no defense and no chin and has not fought or beaten anyone of note. Sturm is a world class MW, and if Harry Joe Yorgey can KO Hearns I imagine that Sturm can as welll.
