Well... I'm a fan of both guys,but that doesn't mean that I'm happy with the choice of opponents they fought...Both have the stuff to be worthy champions,its just a shame that their management isn't as confident as I am about that...and so they let them fight one voluntary defense after another...Thats not exactly true,Sturm fought Randy Griffin and AA fought Khoren Gevor last year and both were mandatory...
But there is a ray of hope...Sturm will face next the winner of Castillejo vs Sylvester(and yeah I know Casti again ?!?But lets not forget even being old as he is...he is a highly ranked middleweight and rightly so...)and its looks like AA will fight on 7th of june already again in Madison Square Garden...


And to be fair,who besides Pavlik has covered himself with glory in the middleweight division lately...?!?
