Felix Sturm Update...

Just four weeks before his mandatory defense against #1 ranked Randy Griffin, WBA middleweight champion Felix Sturm (28-2, 12 KOs) is slowly rounding into form. After a few weeks of conditioning and endurance training in Cologne with coach Clive Salz, Sturm will now.....

CC#126 JohnnyBoy thanks for the update... :)

I think Sturms gonna blast out Griffin in TKO fashion... 8)

Hope sturm takes this and fights abraham. This would theoretically put the winner in a very strong position for the winner of Taylor/Pavlik.
The more fighters these 4 fighters face the more the risk is heightened of the Middleweight title becoming fragmented again.

I agree but I get the feeling Taylor will fight the winner of Galzaghe v Kessler at Super middle.

Could be right there, which would be awful. Should he win, cement himself as true middle king and vacate i think il cry out of frustration.

Well...both Sturm and Abraham showed interest in fighting each other and both wanted to
fight in the US next...

I really doubt that a win over Pavlik would cement Taylor as true middleweight king,even
if it would be a dominant performance with a KO at the end...
Taylors last two fights were just too little for a champ...

I have given up on Felix Sturm, it seems like he is content with fighting mandatories and keeping his title.

I am of the opinion that a dominant performance over Pavlik would certainly remove al lot of the doubt surrounding JT. A win over Pavlik in an impressive fashion would silence the talk of Taylor taking only easy opposition and not actually beating middleweights. Pavlik has go to be viewed as the joint most dangerous contender to Taylors crown (beside abraham,) and a succesful defence would satisfy a lot of fans and perhaps change the minds of some of his detractors.

I would love to see a total unifaction fight between the winner of Pavlik-Taylor & Strum and Abraham. I think if Pavlik ko's Taylor than those other two would be allot easier.
