BoztheMadman Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 So it happens, the thing I always wondered about: will Sturm ever leave middleweight div? He did, at least for now. He's taking on Robert Stieglitz in November. Here's a link with some quotes from both fighters: Felix Sturm: I Have A lot of Surprises For Stieglitz! - Boxing News Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, pretty big. I think Sturm can take this, Stieglitz looks all but washed up. Not that Adnan (Felix) is at his best either but he still got ten times the boxing iq that Stieglitz does. All he needs to do is stay off the big exchanges and box him. He also got a good chin, Sturm does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoztheMadman Posted September 24, 2014 Author Share Posted September 24, 2014 Re: Sturm vs Stieglitz set for 8 November Sturm Vs Abraham in 2015. Mark it. Shrug...thats also a winnable fight, Abraham goes on my nerves. He's no longer prime, he's a crap technician, yet he finds a way to win a new title always. I'd LOVE IT if Adnan beat his ass.

QBoxing Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Re: Sturm vs Stieglitz set for 8 November Sturm is a much smarter fighter, he has more elements to his game. With that said, Stieglitz could outwork him and snatch a win. I definitely feel that Stieglitz is closer to his prime, but, at his best, Sturm is probably a level above him. I can't see weight impacting this either, FYI. Good match-up for German boxing. I'm not sure who wins, but, if both show up ready, it might be a really good fight.

I don't think the weight will be a significant factor, Sturm always looked strong for a middleweight and is the same height as Stieglitz also.

Sturm's problem was never being too big (or too small) for 160. His problem was all on him. He has some great nights dotted in his career along with some really atrocious performances. He needs to avoid being gun shy and dictate the fight. That is a much larger factor than the weight, at least to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sounds really really bad to me. Yes, he's had some really, really subpar performances. He's a world class fighter, but he's allowed himself to be outworked or outhustled against lessee foes. I like Sturm, and have been let down by him often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
