Apart from the mad scoring, I thought the right man got the decision... Was hoping Sturm would win though and get A Murray fight back on, least the belts outta Germany now, so maybe Geale v Murray in England would Be wicked...

Sturm can challenge Golovkin now for the WBA "regular" and IBO belts :D
But seriously, he probably will fight some softy first and will try to get in line for the WBO strap, wich will be in N'Dam of Quillin's posession by then.

What ever Sturm decides, I will be watching with interest, He's still a good fighter even though I think he's starting to slide and he's nearly always in good fights, not sure if he will pick up another belt but there meaningless anyway.

I wouldn't mind seeing him move up to 168 and fight Abraham.

He has been slagging off Abraham all week, so a 168 fight would be pretty interesting, and one which is favour Sturm to win

Murray is A quality fighter and was unlucky not to of gotten the decision against Strum, I agree that Strum is on the slide, Murray and Geale would attract interest over here and sell tickets, no ones going to Australia or anywhere to watch him defend the belt, I think Murray deserves another crack at the title...

Abraham v Strum would Be pack A German stadium, would make sense...

I also thought Strum looked like alot less bulky, looked like He had lost weight if anything...

Sturm dissapointed me, he has no urgency, I reckon if he was losing going into the last round of a fight he wouldn't turn up the gears, it's infuriating to watch that in a fighter. There's being patient and then there's just having no drive at all.

I think he wants Abraham, who is moving back down to 160 but I think will only want to fight if it's for a title. But who knows, maybe the potential revenue could tempt him? I'd certainly watch it.

He might have lost his belts but I'm not sure he needs to drop down to fighting Tennis players?!
i dont get this post... oh wait i just got it... murray

im fed up with the german based fighters not leaving germany to fight, i know they dont need to, they sell out the arenas, but thats the only reason strum got the draw against murray...

murray's as great fighter, and deserves more title shots...

I thought Murray was lucky to get the draw, I thought he lost by a couple of rounds, Macklin should feel hard done by his fight with Sturm was much closer.

I take nothing away from Murray, he performed out of his skin, it was a big step to go from fighting at domestic level to fighting at world level, his confidence must be sky high lets hope he pushes on and builds on it.
