Both sides are talking rematch after the entertaining and dramatic twelve round draw between WBA middleweight champion Felix Sturm and mandatory challenger Randy Griffin. Here's what they had to say at the post fight press conference...
Felix Sturm: That was a great fight from both of us. We gave everything and showed our technical skills. I have seen myself with two rounds ahead on the scorecards as I had the clearer and better punches.
Randy Griffin: It was a great fight and I'm not disappointed, although I thought I had won. I would really like to come back for a rematch to Germany.
Sturm's Promoter Klaus-Peter Kohl: I haven't seen such a dramatic fight in a long time, it was great. I'm happy about the ending although it was a draw. Felix is still the champion. The last two rounds were the best ones I have ever seen of him. There are fights when the call for a rematch is very high. This is a case here.
Sturm's trainer Michael Timm: What a fight! We had to wait until the final bell. An incredible performace of Felix, the way he came back in the last rounds.

Johnny!

You beat me to it. I started a thread about this earlier.

What hits me is that people are so eager to write Sturm off. I suppose that if you don't have anything invested in a fighter as a fan then it's easy not to stick with him. I for one think that Sturm is as good for boxing as he is a fighter.

It's very rare that you have a champ that calls for a rematch...that's a odd thing there.

I'd love for Sturm to come out & blast Griffin out of the ring...but apparently he's no walk in the park.

Win, lose, or draw...I will continue to believe in Sturm to the day that he either retires or get's retired.

Amen, brother...

This is how it should be... back...
