Sturm: Man Up, Macklin!

[Tam Seddon]

Sturm made it clear a rematch would have to be in Germany and I don't see him ever leaving Germany unless he was fighting for a HBO unification fight. Macklin lost the fight and because of that how can he shout the odds on the fight? He was the challenger anyway in the first place. He should be thankful Sturm has offered him a rematch, I hope he steps up.

Definitely lucky that Sturm is a man of his word and has given him an immediate rematch. Macklin should be biting his arm off for this, life changing money and the opportunity of a lifetime again.

I don't see what Macklin could do differently next time but he definitely has a chance of winning and don't see what else there is for him. If Barker did the unimaginable and beat Martinez there is a big fight for Macklin there but can't pass up chance against Sturm for that.

Take the fight Macklin.

Sturm did very little in the fight other than pick his hands up and fired shots late. Macklin would have got the decision anywhere else in the world. Macklin will take the fight but needs to protest loud enough that he does not get ripped off again.

I thought Macklin won the first fight.
First fight was controversial.
If I am Macklin I sign and then go win the fight by a wider margin and make them completely rob me. If they do, they do. Boxing fans can watch a fight and know who really won it!

and even though Sturm can take a shot, you need to really go after him if you get him hurt. Bring 2 judges with you to Germany.
