JC... I'm with you. Maybe not as wide as that as I'm taking everything into account... Home soil etc... But for me a macklin win for sure.

I had Macklin winning and did a full rbr, In all honesty If I was a judge and had the benefit of instant replay I would have given it to Sturm, but in the run of play, Macklin straight up outworked Sturm for most of the fight. It was a result that pretty much everyone expected though right? Noone expected Macklin to get a decision in Germany. I was just happy with how the fight went, it was exciting and I'm really looking forward to a rematch. I'd like to see it in a neutral location like Tokyo.

I just watched the fight and i thought it was a cracking fight, a candidate for FOTY. As for the scoring i had it 114-114 a classic draw, Matthew Macklin won most of the early rounds. Forcing Felix Sturm back and outworking him with some solid body and head shots.

But Felix Sturm comeback in the 2nd half of the fight, using his classic jab/right hand combo. Landing accurate head snapping shots, i thought it would be controversial being in Germany but it was actually very close and could of gone either way.
