Sturm v Steiglitz, Deutschland's Domestic Dustup

Post by ringtoneboxing »

With no title or eliminator on the line it's bragging rights only on the line for two of Germany's former world title holders.

So who wins?

Does wiley Felix evade/absorb the heavy punches of Stieglitz and allow him to tire for later rounds domination or does Bobby stick and move and target the body to get under Sturm's traditionally high guard?

All I do hope is that it's not a clinch-fest like I saw Stieglitz and Ekpo in recently.

Don't think much of either, but Sturm appears to be going downhill rapidly. Couldn't handle (in 2 attempts) the same Sam Soliman who put up a docile performance against the damaged Taylor.

Now Sturm's moving up in weight and at his age (mid-30s) that doesn't bode well.

Figure Steiglitz to be the bigger guy and the much stronger guy in this battle. He'll probably be too aggressive and busy for Sturm, who has little more than a potent jab in his arsenal. Not much of a puncher, I can't see Sturm keeping Steiglitz off him.
Steiglitz wins a clear decision.

Oddmakers consider this bout 6-5 pick 'em.

No, but does he need to be?
Soliman isn't exactly thunder and lightning as a puncher but his aggressive, busy style was too much for Sturm. Steiglitz is much stronger than Soliman.

According to a few people I've spoken to who have felt his punch, he is.

I'm hoping for a Sturm victory followed by Sturm vs Abraham.

Stieglitz. Crazy if it's close with the bookies.
