Overall very good fight, high volume constant action
Judges
115-113 Macklin
116-112 Sturm
116-112 Sturm
Well they robbed him proper like.
Felix Sturm SD. Feel bad for Macklin, he worked hard for 3 minutes every round.
116-112 Sturm once is joke, 116-112 Sturm twice, I'm not sure I have any words to describe it- does anyone get a decision in Germany? Don't get me wrong I expected it to go to Sturm with it being close but they could at least look as if they scored Macklin too...
David Haye got a decision in Germany 
I wouldn't worry about it too much, Sturm will stay in Germany and be fed hot garbage for the next year until he's ready to do this return to America thing.
And to be fair there were a lot of swing rounds, but I think aside from the 12th Macklin took the last half of the fight.
Went like this to me in my interpretation
Macklin rounds 1-2 clearly
Swing rounds 3-5
Macklin round 6-11 clearly
Sturm round 12 on the barrage.
Max swing on the cards I could accept would be 115-113 Macklin through 119-109 Macklin (although you know that won't happen in Sturm's hometown)
Also sounds like they will be setting up a rematch.

For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.
