Giovanni Lorenzo
Tarvis Simms
Noe Tulio Gonzalez

nO NEWS ON AN OPPONENT JUST YET.

I'm just guessing,but probably one of those guys:

Giovanni Lorenzo
Tarvis Simms
Noe Tulio Gonzalez

The opponent will be Noe Tulio Gonzalez Alcoba. Good guess!

Sturm should be _heavy_ favorite for this one - this is Gonzalez' record: http://www.boxrec.com/boxer_display.php?boxer_id=274107

Having never really heard of him - or any of his previous opponents - let alone seen him fight, obviously Gonzalez could still surprise. Just doesnt seem likely though.

Btw - according to fightnews the WBA has only approved this match with the condition that the winner (or Sturm if a draw) will fight mandatory Randy Griffin before August 28th. No excuses - not even injuries - for failing to comply with this, will be accepted. I kind of like this approach actually - you can fight a voluntary defence, if you like, but then there will be no bullsh*t, if you fail to show up for your mandatory.

3 likely world title fights in 4 months does sound like a pretty tough schedule for Sturm though - kudos if he pulls it off!

Pretty tough requirements...
Have to agree Sturm has a hell of schedule this year...

Hope Sturm gets big fight soon liked the way he revenged his loss and he was very unlucky not to get Oscar decision which is a shame because that could of got him bigger fights quicker.

He could have fought JT instead of Masoe,but he turned it down...

I thank Jimminy Christmas that he passed on the Taylor fight. He woulda lost a hometown jobber.

I was sickened that he got robbed against Oscar. That being said...Sturm should have no problem fighting so quickly...unless ofcourse he is cut or breaks his hand or some shit like that.

Sturm fights on a crazy schedule. He fought 5 times a year in both 2002 & 2003 & what is astounding is that he fought 9 or 10 times in 2001.

Sorry...but I love the guy. Always will.
