He Promotes himself?

I personally had him winning the Macklin and Murray fights AND the Soliman fight, not seen Geale.
If he were with say 'Sauerland' or the other one, would he lose these fights? Soliman and Geale?

His punching technique is of excellent quality, sharp and powerful but he doesn't throw enough!!

Sturm got screwed because he fights in 20 second bursts near the bell rather than spots throughout the round

well he got the decision in the macklin fight and a draw against murray, so i'd hardly say he got screwed in either.
both were very close fights and a case could be made for him losing either depending on what you look for

he has obvious quality and showed it in the 2 fights against the brits, but he is extremely lazy and you just wonder watching him why he doesn't produce a bit more during a fight. he was very accurate and landed some solid flush shots that looked hurtful, but just never did enough. i felt, in both fights, that if he upped the workrate he would have walked those contests.

for me he has himself to blame for his lack of application

X2 he's a very lazy fighter. He seems to come into fights in very good shape but for some reason fights in that strange way.

Is it not he is getting older and older and that's why his workrate is slowing similar to Hopkins

can be too frustrating to watch, screws himself if anything.
