sturm soliman

So looks like soliman upset sturm, in what judging by what I've read and what the scores indicated was a one sided affair after the third roind. Case of sturm overlooking sam, or is sturm done? Where's felix go from here?

I'm going to watch the fight prior to crashing and will probably smoke a joint first. Its just before 9 here. The reports I am reading is that Sturm got boned up the ass after dominating the first half of the fight.

You gotta hate Karma.

Sturm won the first 4 handily , scoring a knockdown in the 2nd. Soliman turned up the tempo and was just more active than Sturm in the second half of the fight. Still, I had it 115-112 Sturm, and think it was a pretty bad decision.

Sturm cruised and effectively threw the fight away. For the first 3 or 4 rounds he was rocking Soliman every time he landed a right hand.

1-Sturm
2-Sturm 10/8
3-Sturm
4-Sturm
5-Soliman
6-Sturm. Close round. Even though Soliman looked busier it was not effective. Sturm countered well and landed the cleaner shots.
In order to reach the conclusion they did, the judges must have been counting all of these shots landing on Sturms guard.
7-Soliman
8-Soliman by a c-hair
9-Soliman
10-Sturm
11-Soliman
12-Sturm but another tough rd. It was kind of stupid by Sturm to Winky up and counter in the last round. That may have cost him the round and the fight. The hesitation to raise his arms may have also had a domino effect.

After reading all the press and opinions on this fight I was expecting to see a robbery. I didn't and some of those rounds were extremely difficult to score imo. I gave it to Sturm but see no controversy.

Sturm is getting some back lash from judges as payback for some of earlier dodgy decisions. Karma.

Sturm won comfy, but should of stepped on the gas in the second when he had soliman realing, i think the judges feel that if the fight seems close in germany and they give it to the home fighter there will be backlash in the media, a few decisions recently sturm geale, and sprott got a good win a few weeks back.

Sturm should have not come out in the 11th and 12th looking to counter. He blew it and his corner should have told him and I don't know that they didn't that Sam might be getting points for just throwing and especially in the judges blind spots.

Well that kind of equals out the Karma scales. He lost in his last two fights that perhaps he should have won against 2 Aussies but he also escaped two losses in the minds of many against Macklin and Murray. So its back to the even space-time continuum. Just in time because GGG has already offered him an immediate title shot.
