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. This was a thrillig and emotional fight. We have to have a rematch. That would be very important for the boxing business. I'm ready for a rematch wherever it can be realized. Randy deserves it, he is a great boxer.

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.
