Okay, fight's over and beer is drunk, but just to recap a bit (while German tv is anyway showing bundesliga highlights, leaving me waiting for the Dzindiruk-Julio fight, I btw already know the winner of):

I really liked Sturm in this one. His jab owned Sylvester throughout the fight. It would be great, if he would let himself go a bit more, but you cannot really blame a guy for being careful (it's not like he was running either). As for Sylvester he did his thing, but he really was just found out at this level - he is not a world class fighter. Sturm proved today, to me at least, that he is. But I was impressed with Sylvester not going down, and with never really looking in trouble despite numerous clean shots.

Furthermore I thought it was a good fight, but as I said earlier, it was very (Eastern) European. I didnt see any holding in the entire fight (!), but then again there was basically no infighting either. I guess Sturm leading with the jab may not be every casual fan's idea of great boxing, but it sure as hell was effective today.
