Felix Sturm-Ronald Hearns Deal Reached For Feb. 19 - Boxing News

I'm happy for Hearns but not convinced he deserves this. Sturm seems content to fight against mid-level opponents rather than step up and truly test himself. Hopefully the WBA will force the fight with "regular" WBA champion Gennedy Golovkin soon.

Nice to see Sturm showing his usual ambition.

I'm not sure Sturm would even fight someone as good as Matthew Macklin or J C Chavez Jr.

It wouldn't surprise me much to see Yory Boy Campas or Hector Camacho Jr get a shot soon.

[El Kabong]

Actually for Sturm this is a tough fight. Ronald Hearns isn't a third of the fighter that his dad was, but he's going to give Sturm hell. I think it could be an exciting fight.

[No Contest]

He was scurred of Mayorga.

I wanna see Martinez knock him out..I am a fan of sturm..I like his style and think he's a good fighter, I just would like to see Martinez take that belt if his and prove weight class dominance

[Irish]

Even though I believe he already has

[TigerFan]

Sturm is probably making a killing fighting these second/third tier fighters. So there's little incentive for him to rock the boat and fight someone tougher. Good for him but bad for us fans

On the fight...Sturm will outclass Hearns. It won't even be close. I'll go as far as predicting a stoppage in the late rounds.

[Irish]

I believe it'll be classic strategy strum will stick and move set up with a stiff jab and then move in in later rounds and possible stoppage

[Spicoli]

Throw the kid in the fire fight for Hearns. Unless he brings a Glock Hearns is toast. Hey at least Sturm can ride the 'name', story. Maybe interest the Stateside networks in him again.

Sturm has officially put himself on my shit list...

Why on god's earth is Felix Sturm fighting Ronald Hearns?

[skel1983]

Felix Sturm can fuck right off, the fraud. How the fuck can this guy call himself a world champion?

He has been a so called world champion for it seems a lifetime.

[Master]

Sturm has officially put himself on my shit list...

He ws on my list the time the last time he got stopped and lost his title.

[skel1983]

Hearns last five opponents deffo show he is ready for a world title shot

I'm not picking on his opponent as much as I'm picking on him never leaving Germany. He has had 2 fights outside of Germany....out of 37 total.
