Well basically he won that Oscar fight with just the jab. He was/is a good strong, European Middlweight with a great jab, but not much power in his right hand or left hook from what I can tell. Plus he did get TKO'd by an old Javier Castillejo not too long ago. I wish Sturm would fight somebody I've heard of though, I'm sure this Griffin is a good boxer, but I would rather have him fight Arthur Abraham or Edison Miranda.
Hulk get mad!!!! Hulk get strong!!!!

Heh heh heh. Seriously though...coming from a Sturm fan...I'd like to state that that was a good assestment.

Sturm is a great boxer with a fantastic jab. He has a good defense & a great ring ethic. The problem with Sturm is just what you said...he doesn't have a vast amount of power. He does have power though...evidenced by the knockouts that he has pulled out of his ass.

Honestly...& this aint an excuse...I think that he's still having issues with the fact that he got stopped by Javier.

If you watch his bouts after that, he's still got a shell shocked look about him when the other fighter comes on. He get's stuck behind his guard & gives the other fighter confidence.

I still believe in & love to watch Sturm box...I just don't want to see him fall under the glove again.

Not sure what it is about him...but I've just become stuck on him. He's got the goods...he just needs to believe in himself & apply them.
