He was down in RD 2.
Seemed to win most other rounds, but was TKO'd RD 10 with a left hook and three left uppercuts to the head. Sturm looked hurt bad and ref stepped in.

Hopefully all that Sturm talk ends
Nah...not for me...a loss is a loss...every fighter pretty much has one.Quote:

As a huge Sturm fan I'm totally shocked...
Felix right cheek swelled after the first kd,could have been that he fought all the
time after that with a broken jaw,looked like Cottos last opponent...
Still I'm staying a Sturm fan(of course),that was a hell of a fight,he will recover ...
But a little comfort from the other Sturm fans on this forum wouldn't hurt... :'(
See ya sturm !

Bad loss for Sturm at this stage of his career
Castillejo's a good fighter but an exposed fossil
Another European fighter exposed. Ha. Ha :thumb: No wonder he turned down that Taylor fight.Quote:

First knockdown:two left hooks at Felix temple, followed by two left uppercut and than
a hard right to the jaw...,still Felix got up again and won every round after that till rnd 10,
in which he took a hard left hook that most probably broke Felix nose,with blood splattering
out of it, then three left uppercuts(again...) and a left hook to the body,the referee stepped
in and ended the fight...
I have to give it to Javier Castillejo,that he didn't tire and for finding most of the time the
right distance for his punches...
Again...it's just a loss...Quote:

I really want to see the match now. Musta been pretty ruff.
Very hard punches thrown by both guys throughout the fight.
Castillejo honestly looked like the bigger stronger guy though.
Sadly Felix isn't a big puncher and he traded to much with Castillejo...Quote:

Sturm should never fight out his fight plan for the people, the people aren't fighting for him Sturm needs to fight for himself and to win and not to entertain. Thats what Hopkins always said 'I dont care if they cheer boo or leave the arena, fact is, they already payed to see me fight, I'm gonna get payed, and I'm gonna win which means I get payed more, so I go home happy regardless.'
Sturm needs to learn that and he learned it tonight the hard way.
Exactly...Quote:

Sidorenko defeats Poonsawat, Virchis, Chagaev win by KO
By Karl Freitag

Two-time jr middleweight champion Javier Castillejo (61-6, 41 KOs) won the WBA middleweight title with a shocking tenth round TKO over Felix Sturm (25-2, 11 KOs) Saturday night at the Color Line Arena in Hamburg, Germany. Sturm staggered Castillejo with a left hook and landed several other hard shots in round one, while Castillejo closed the round with some good work. Castillejo dropped Sturm with a big left hook, followed by an uppercut and right hand in the second and furiously tried to finish the champion off, but Sturm survived the onslaught and fought back hard at the end of the round, which was stopped ten seconds early by referee Mark Nelson. Rounds three and four were fought at close quarters with both fighters landing good punches. In round five, Sturm shifted his tactics, and found the key to victory which was boxing from the outside. Sturm's movement and quickness gave him an edge at long range and when Sturm won most of the exchanges when he came inside. Entering the tenth, Sturm had a wide lead. A desperate Castillejo tried to apply more pressure near the end of the tenth he caught Sturm on the ropes and connected with a left hook, three consecutive uppercuts and a left hook to the body. Sturm never went down, but was clearly hurt and referee Nelson jumped in to stop the fight. 38-year-old Castilljo is the new WBA middleweight champion! It is believed that Sturm likely suffered a broken jaw.
Castillejo knocked Felix Sturm out and took his MW title?! Holy shit! The same Castillejo that came up short and got beaten up by Oscar and Fernando? WOW! Good for Javier Castiillejo, I didn't think he could do it, beating a full fledgin MW. Pretty big upset. What did Sturm do, just jab all night?
what will he do now Castillejo? unify or go down the manditory defence route? i personally think he should just go for it and face abram or miranda because he is to old
Sturm gave short interview after hospital visit...
His jaw is not broken,just badly swollen...
Castillejo is not too good so I think Taylor will be salivating to get him in the ring. Pretty safe fight and a belt on the table.
Yeah Taylor would crush the poor guy and add to his list of legit wins over old 154lbers. I'd rather see Taylor beat on Sergio Mora, end the contender hype nonsense. I mean SRL already thinks Mora is ready. ::** Also what channell or PPV or whatever did you watch this Sturm fight on?Quote:

Here's a pic from the fight...
taylor would beat him down but would castillejo fight him? he would not want to give his belt up so easily i personally think he should go for the winner off miranda/abram would be his safest bet imoQuote:

After Mora, this is a perfect fight for the Taylor camp. Watch and see...
Sounds like a good deal, I got less than a 56K connection, more like 24-26K, so watchin fights on the net ain't an option for me. Glad to see Castillejo is stickin with the blonde Mullet look still. And yeah tam, I doubt he will fight Taylor right away but you never know. His career is almost over and he has always gone for the big money fights in the past like Oscar and Vargas.Quote:
