Strum v Murray wot u guys think?

[gest12645]

Sturm was fortunate to escape with a SD over Macklin and he's luck should be running out anytime now.. Murray just has to keep up the workrate . He's a live dog here.

it's in Germany. Sturm has a couple point advantage to start with. I really doubt Murray can win this

Im not saying Murray wins.. I certainly wouldnt pick him or put money on the dude or anything.

Based on styles, he's a live dog that's all im saying.

I know it's in Germany but hometown advantages can only take you so far before something unexpected hits you. Based on how he looked against Macklin, i dont see why he would do any better with Murray.. It's not like he's elevating his game after each fight.

Not an easy fight at all for Sturm..

Macklin threw over twice as many punches as Sturm and landed about 250 power punches to Sturms 100 or so. Apparently outlanding your opponent in powerpunches in 12 rounds out of 12 isnt enough to win a decision any more, who knew? To say Murray needs a knockout to win is an understatement.

Having said that he does have good bodywork and Sturm is open there due to the highheld guard, so you never know.

Fighting Strum on his home ground,there is no way Murray
could win a decision.? Only if he ko's him

Sturm by wide decision or late ko

[Beanz]

I don't want to make wild predictions but i would not be massively surprised if Murray stops Sturm with a rib breaking body punch. I live in hope, because otherwise in Germany, as has been said, Murray can't even look for even treatment from the German homeboy judges.

Another brave defeat for a British fighter facing a world-level opponent too soon overseas.

Honestly, I agree with you all the way. It should be close, but Sturm probably wins a decision just because of hometown advantage. 115-113 or 116-112 should be it.
