Wow! Can't believe Geale got a decision in Germany!

[ruthless rocco]

blue moon last night!

Also this might finally make sturm leave germany once again, and well he was bound to have a close one not go his was, but I really thought he edged it on the cleaner work but was to lazy in some of the rounds. Hopefully tonights matchups are good ones to, congrats to geale he certainly came to fight

Ironic that Dave Parris was the deciding factor in giving it to the Aussie. Good luck Danny, I think it was Sturms but close and for once he did not get the help he usually does.

Got to agree with ya can't feel to bad for sturm he's had many a close one go his way, as I said before none of them outright robberies, but close fights that could have gone either way that went to him due to being the hometown guy. Sturm makes for usually exciting and entertaining fights I'm sure he'd be much more liked and well known outside of germany if the odlh fight didn't turn him into a hometown fighter.

Sturm, Abraham, the Klitschkos and others all get the benefit of the doubt in Germany. Tonight was different.

When has either of the klits needed the benefit of the doubt Plus they've fought abroad many a time!!

[THE THIRD MAN]

Geale should never be underestimated, he is a tough nut alright. Beating Sturm on home turf is not easy, Geale deserves a big US fight soon. He won't be easy pickings for anybody.

Maybe I should have made myself clearer. When I said the benefit of the doubt I was not referring merely to decisions. I have not been in a cave for the last 10 years and am well aware of Wlad and Vitali's immpressive KO total.I also have not forgot Sturm being screwed in Vegas, give me some credit guys, but then at that stage of his career he was hardly going to turn down such a huge opportunity. The fact remains the home town advantage is pretty blatant In Deutschland with reffs and promoters clearly shafting visiting fighters again and again. The grappling ,spoiling, leaning and fouling tactics employed by both Klits, the reff turns a blind eye, then the hometown desicions, Cately - Haussler, Ottke-Reid, Lebdev-Huck,Abraham-Steiglitz,Sylvester-Karmazin the list goes on. Not only do they fight nobodies at home they then have everything skewed in their favour. The undercard is non-exisitent which not only screws over the fans but betrays the paper thin understanding and attatchment the promoters and boxing authorities have for the sport. It is not an indictment of Germany but it's peculiar relationship with boxing. Only there would fighters taking 2:40 of a round off be awarded that round for 20 seconds work.

And for the record last night I had Sturm winning that one.
