Murray is young. He has to outwork Sturm and be consistent. He must target Sturm's sides and forearms so that it is he, Murray, who dictates when Sturm stops covering up and starts fighting. It is a big ask and a massive step up for Martin Murray but if he can get Sturm to throw more, and keep out of his way when he does, he can outlast him. I thought Murray may have had a chance of a KO with a perfectly planted hook to Sturms' body but Al is right. Murray doesn't hit that hard so i think fitness may be the key. Murray on Points, after Sturm fades. Sturm came on strong against Macklin in the latter stages but Matthew faded. I think Martin Murray can keep Sturm busy for all 12 rounds and win on points. In Germany that's one hell of an ask, but he can do it by being emphatically busier. Go for it Martin.![]()
