Tonight on DAZN, rematch of one of the robberies of the Year if not ever, Sturm done well to win 2 rounds first fight but still got the nod

been good so far, the commentary is less animated than ours too.

Sturm is only 44. I thought he was 50 min he seems to have been around forever.

Sturm stops Altay in the 9th, much improved by Sturm this time, Altay was quick out the blocks, putting the combinations together and looking like he wasn't going to mess about, Sturm held his ground and the whole fight was fought at close quarters, not that messy though, Sturm came into things, couldn't match Altay for workrate but trumped him for defense and accuracy, Altay was busy but Sturm was blocking nearly everything and coming back with better combinations, I had him slightly ahead going into the 9th when out of nowhere Sturm got Altay out of there, nailed him with a right which had Altay looking out the ring before Sturm landed another clean right which had him sagging when the ref jumped in, strange but the right call

Can't believe he's still at it. I remember when he gave an aging De La Hoya all he could handle. That was 20 years ago :oo

He had some woeful defences of his wba belt. I think he paid them not to fight ggg too

fornicating Koji Sato and Ronald Hearns. No idea how Felix got away with that. Sad though as he had some good though fights like Castilejo prior. He's a skilled man
