I really hope Sturm loses his title to Randy Griffin this Saturday so that the WBA title will be free and we might get a champ who is willing to fight Pavlik or Abraham.:happy But sad to say I don't think Griffin has fire power too to the trick:-( Then my hope will rests on Sebastian Sylvester and Anthony Mundine:bbb to take out Sturm:hat What are guys hoping for?:huh
In germany there is a lot of desrespect between Sturm and Sylvester. Sturm says, that Sylvetser is an untalented bum and Sylvester always says "Adnan Catic" (Sturms birth name) instead of Felix Sturm. So i hopen that Sturm wins and we see the battle Sturm - Sylvester!
I had Griffin winning the first fight, so I hope he gets the win this time. Griffin is for real, he's a true fighter. HOWEVER, I think Sturm will win this one, as he is a smart fighter who will make the right adjustments - basically he will just jab, clinch and run, like he did in the Castillejo rematch, and win a boring decision... He has to face Sylvester after that, and don't count Sylvester out in this one. Sylvester is not the best boxer, but at least he's for real - and I hope he will score the upset and make Sturm pay for his arrogance.
Sounds good to me. Or maybe if Sturm wins Abraham can tempt him into a fight, would surely be a draw in Germany and than it would perfectly set up Abraham vs Pavlik for all 4 titles.
I don't care much about Sturm, but i'd like to see Mundine fight him for the title, so i guess i don't want him losing to Griffin.
Sturm vs. Sylvester would be nice...Sylvester can punch. He demonstrated that with a vicious knockout in his last fight against Castillejo. Sturm is a smart guy with good technique, but (sadly) without a hard punch. Against AA he would loose by KO. No way Sturm can survive all 12 rounds against this superb puncher. I predict a win for Sturm this Saturday.
I'd love to see Griffin beat Sturm on Sat. Sturm will hold the belt hostage and take as many easy fights as he can. Occasionally, a solid guy will make his way into the mandatory slot and then and only then will Sturm step up his level of cometition. Outside of a once a year/18 months where he might face someone decent he'll just keep feasting on easy opponents. He's becoming a joke and I hope Griffin beats him.
I want Sturm to win this weekend just to get smashed by Sylvester in his very next fight - this will be a great one for German boxing...
Sturm is a good fighter. Everyone that saw him beat the **** out of oscar should know that. I hope he wins saturday.
Sturm was great against oscar but this was long ago today Sturm is a paper Champ who fight bum's like Alcoba and Pittman After a Pavlik vs Abraham fight Sturm's belt will be meanless Sturm is a league under Pavlik and AA
I'm not hoping for Sturm to lose, I have nothing against him. But i'll root for Griffin since I think he deserved a close win last time.
