Andy Lee v Felix Sturm

[slapbangwhallop]

Looks like Lee could be off the Macklin-Martinez bill and fighting Sturm on April 28 in Germany!

[thepocketrocket]

Get in. Lee beats him all ends up!!!

[xrgcx]

I think Lee wins also

[jessi]

Sturm wins for me in a close fight !

[tear up]

sturm on the slide lee beat s him

[Londonirish]

Lee wins but will he get it

[leforge]

Good fight. Will Sturm cling on again to a close points win!

[Autobarn]

i figured the high risk, low reard fight with quillin was probably not to lee's liking.

given that sturm has struggled vs british/irish opponents, and lee has fought in germany before, it does make some sense.

might be a tough fight to negotiate, though.

[Roars Like Me]

Felix has a penchant for Brits at the mo - he'll scrape this one too no doubt.

[ShadrachSimmo]

After a close win then a draw i'd fancy Lee maybe to beat sturm. I wouldnt say Sturm was on the slide but he's there for the taking.

[Camcas]

Lee isn't as good as Macklin or Murray, and even though Sturm is on the slide I still fancy him to win a close decision

[hoop]

Lee is not very good at all, very very lucky against Craig Mcewan.

I thought Lee was Irish? Or is he Northern Irish???

Its all the same mate. He's from the island of Ireland, thats all you need to worry about

Right - but not a Brit as 'Roars like me' implies......

I think even if he was Northern Irish, he could not be considered 'British'???? I'm not sure, I find the whole Union thing confusing

Politics and religion dont mix mate. The fact is, someone born in the state of northern ireland is an Irishman. They may well consider themselves British in addition by thats purely political.

Andy Lee was born in London and moved back to Ireland when he was what, 10 ? Repton lad.

And no slap, that isn't a worm

hmmmm interesting, I didn't know that. Regardless Lee has a bit of a chance but I reckon Spurm on points

Nope, born in England to be even more precise as was Calzaghe

Correct. Northern Irishmen are British but they are predominantly Irishmen i would think. I think he was born in East London maybe? But Irish parents.

[ShadrachSimmo]

Sturm will score a stoppage. He is on the slide but landed accurately against Macklin and Murray, both of whom are tougher than Lee IMO. RSF 8-12 if Sturm's got anything left.

Not sure KG. Agreed he landed some really good clean shots over both fighters esp Macklin. But Lee looks pretty tough may be a distance fight.

He had both going late on in the 12th, Lee's more vulnerable in my view and will be a sucker for the right hand. I'd prefer a stoppage either way as Sturm could win it clearly by 8-4 and people will still cry robbery.

i think after Sturms last 2 fights the robbery card will be a bit worn out.

Being born in a stable doesn't make you a horse. He's Irish

[Lenny]

I must be in the minority that likes Lee in this one. I also don't think Strum was lucky in either of his two previous fights

Am hoping for it to be a nice blend of styles but Lee's higher workrate and extra power should see him win. A late stoppage for Strum can't be ruled out but overal my money would be on Lee. For me he is a better fighter than Murray (not sure what to make of Macklin at the moment and maybe think he'll be knocked out during the first 3 against Martinez)
