Even though the 2nd round finished 10 secs early, Strum had recovered and was firing back well. It was a shocker to see him go over like that, but the punch landed was right on his temple and his balance was gone. Staggered when he got up too...
Came back well, but it was surprising to see Castillejo ( who I don't recall being a huge puncher ) hurting him like that - Strum has looked so solid in previous outings.
He was out on his feet when the ref stopped it in the 10th - he was doing ok, then one left hook took everything from him, followed by three uppercuts, as he was a sitting duck on the ropes. Must have been well ahead on the cards too.
Great win for the Spaniard and a rematch is on the cards no doubt.
30% of online viewers gave the 2nd round to Strum, right after he'd been knocked down and nearly out

Karmazin-Castillejo was a classic that I felt Karmazin won.viciousmaussa wrote:Karmazin v Castillejo II more likely. King can use Karmazin again to get a middleweight title. Castillejo beat him controversially a few years ago.stujones wrote:DLH vs Catillejo 2 - to give DLH a more authentic Middle belt.
King doesn't inspire confidence for foreign fighters. He basicaly used Karmazin as a pawn to pick up a title and - when he decided what he could do with him - got him the fight in Spinks' hometown to consolidate Spinks as a hometown attraction... Karmazin overcame a slow start to totally master Spinks, who was petrified at the end. It was a slow process of 'undressing' & at the very least Roman should've kept it on a draw... If DK is half a decent promoter, he will send Karmazin off to get a middleweight belt. He got Spinks, Rivera and Judah immediate title shots after they lost their titles CONVINCINGLY.
