Maybe its me...but when you get bumped up and even given this bogus title status.....you would think that would make them fight better opponents...felix sturm yet against to feast on a unproven 23-0 Martin Murray. Murrays last 6 ... Nick Blackwell rating # 156 John Anderson Carvalho rating # 78 Carlos Nascimento rating # 171 Peter Mitrevski Jr rating # 181 Lee Noble rating # 295 Shalva Jomardashvili rating # 101 once again..another guy gets a title shot...and he has 1 guy on his entire resume that was even rated under #100 in the world..and that was at # 78....i think they should just not waste time giving out ranking anymore....its pointless another FEARLESS move my the might warrior felix sturm
To be a super champ you should be unifying titles, not fighting someone like martin murray, he might be good, he's still unbeaten, but he should be fighting a top 10 contender before getting this shot
Sturm is the definition of a paper champ. The WBA have long since swirled their credibility down a toilet with circus acts like this going around.
yet his fellow countryman will sell out a big arena, and he will have an entrance to the ring second to only the klits.... its like going to see a bad movie sequels over and over again....
Hmm I would like him to Fight Gamboa.. but Gamboa is going to have to go to Indonesia and probably fight for pennies.. Marquez did it and it went all bad.. I think John vs Gamboa.. Speed chess.. John may still have some tricks left.. But back to the WBA.. Felix Sturm is still living off that Oscar hype.. Would be nice to see him fight Abraham in a mega Fight in Germany.. Come on WBA...
At least he could fight one of the other WBA middleweight champions, there are 2 of them at the end of the day atsch Sturm-Golovkin or Sturm-N'Dam would be way better than this joke title defense. Sturm a C(oward). :hat
Murray is a tough challenge for Sturm actually.. N´Dam and Golovkin are in legal dispute with their promoters and cannot fight him currently..
I won't lie, I've never seen him fight but the kid definitely doesn't deserve this fight according to Iceman's first post. :good
I always gave Sturm some good praise as his resume isnt as bad as many would like to make out - B Schenk former WBO MW champ J Castillo WBA MW champ (2 weight champ) S Sylvester became IBF MW champ became champ after losing to Sturm plus other names - H Cherifi past his best former WBC MW champ G Lorenzo was an alledged future Pavlik opponent K Gevor title challenger at MW & SMW K Sato (undefeated) R Griffin J Pittman (undefeated) N G Alcoba (undefeated) M Maseo R Varon became a European LMW champ after losing to Sturm H J Velazco Hearns (undefeated) rumoured to be given a title shot Macklin European champ But after Sturms fight with Macklin I read something that if Sturm were to rematch Macklin and Macklin were to win, Sturm would be able to profit from Macklins wins after, something along those lines in a contract, but I dont know how good the info was. After reading that I changed my opinions of Sturm
Been Super Champ for three fights now. You can also become super champion if you have five succesful defences. Sturm has had 10 now in his second stint as beltholder. Chris John(Multiple defences) and Andre Ward are also Super Champions. Ward probably got it because of the Super Six. Yes, he beat Kessler, but Kessler wasnt Super Champ at the time. Are all this disgraceful Yes, we all know that WBA is Worlds Biggest Assholes If I had the money, I buy them and make some changes :bbb
Come on man, this resume is horrible. :rofl:rofl:rofl And yes, he was asking 40% of Macklin's earnings for the coming two years if Mattew won the Rematch and took the title to UK. Talk about slave contracts ...
