[sionpwns]

@simondgrass sounds like what felix would say postfight knowing his team paid the judges off before the fight!

@elkolo18 Lo que pasa que yo vivo en Norte america y la verdad apenas y veo peleas entre europeos, y tengo entendido que entrena en Inglaterra y su entrenador es Ingles, por eso me confundi. Pero tienez razon es ofensivo, si hubiera escuchado el acento lo hubiera identificado de donde es. Pero la verdad no creo que se pueda pensar que JM Marquez es europeo, por su fisico y tambien por la tecnica, esa solo en Mexico.

[elkolo18]

@eljrclave8 Macklin es irlandés y llamarlo "inglés" es tan ofensivo como llamar a JM Márquez o a Sergio Martínez "español", aunque hablen el idioma del colonizador.

I agree was expecting an ass whuppin but never saw that. Macklin won though but illusion of sturm winning later rounds makes people think he was winner as a strong finish is always what you like to see

[axel151]

I had it 116-114 for Sturm, he landed the better, more effective punches, that's all there is to it.

[kiaba360]

IDK why people even bother to fight Felix Sturm anymore, if you go to Germany, you have no fuckin chance

[Koukinaba]

Wow Macklin wouldn't have lasted one more round. I was expecting a one sided fight for all the talk about a robbery but it was close. Both guys are no match for Martinez.

[eljrclave8]

Im not german or from england im Mexican, but i like to see european fighters, and for me it was a close fight, at the end Sturm look good, but remember the first rounds, punches from the english fighter landed with power, at least for 1 or 2 points i think the english guy won.
