truthfully alot of people i know give alot of credit to sturm for the DLH fight but few other european fighters...

there is a term that used to be real big in america "fighting european style" which means straight up, boaring, and stiff, just hitting with scoring blows... and of course they have no heart..

about 15 of the 20 alphabet titles belong to europeans at 160(middle-weight) to heavyweight

with champions such as calzaghe, kessler, mormeck, klitchko, abraham, clinton woods..

And prodigies like Lee, duddy, Povectkin which hardly anyone talks about on here... they are VERY BRIGHT STARS FOR THE FUTURE OF BOXING

And thats just at 160 and above

There has been a revolutionary turn in boxing from North America to Europe in the middle-heavyweight divisions and it rarely gets media attention(except the domination of a poor HW division) nor does it get the fans respect like one would expect




Now that is what I call an informed and objective post!!!
