I suppose it's not a robbery. Sturm could have takent that by 1 round. But no more. Definetely not four. If this fight was in the USA. Macklin would have easily won.
8-4 or 7-5 Macklin the 7-5 is me being nice to Sturm a blatant robbery, anyone who scored that fight to Sturm needs to get there eyes checked the 2 judges who scored it 8-4 to Sturm should never be allowed to judge again. The people saying sturm won because he landed the cleaner punches, really he must have got outworked about 3 or 4 to 1 in power punches.
That decision should be overturned is someone going allow the Germans this. This will continue if no one does anything about it.
Horse**** decision, it was a total robbery. No way that fight could have been any more than a draw for Sturm and even that is giving him every single break and any round that sniffs being close.
Again, what rounds to Sturm? Clearly not 1-4, as he was completely inactive. That leaves 8 rounds. Did Macklin not win two rounds between 5 and 12? That's absurd. He clearly did. Look at Sturm's face and sides. He got beat up. Pathetic decision.
A tough call, for me it was Macklin's fight. How many rounds does he need to win by, everyone must win 2 more to be awarded the verdict? If the match up takes place UK side, Macklin wins. Macklin UD 115-113. Not a great fan of Macklins btw, does nothing particularly special. But, he deserved the verdict on tonights performance. Shouldn't Sturm fight a world champ? Its always contenders, not even top level contenders.
