[FlashKnockdown]

I had it 115 - 113 Murray, he outworked Sturm but it was a close fight could have gone either way. Interestingly according to the compubox numbers Murray outlanded Sturm 2 - 1 in power shots overall (184 - 90) and landed more power shots than Sturm every round.

[Tracywithafacey]

The quality that Sturm shows does not find its way into enough of his punches for me to give him the edge, he definitely has the better jab, and some of his right hands were quality, but he does not throw enough quality punches throughout rounds to warrant quality being better than work rate for me. Sturm got hit plenty in this fight and in the Macklin fight. Sturm is decent, but some of the other middleweights out there would paste him.

115 113 Murray

[LeftToLive]

Sturm is decent but overrated in my opinion. Murray won it.

[MrConnolly25]

@PauloTheGeek Macklin fights Martinez next on st.Patricks day.Sturm is due to fight early next year as yet though the opponent is unknown

[real85er]

draw a fair result, Murray beat himself, how many times he backed Sturm onto the ropes then backed off to an opposite corner without Sturm advancing, just giving Sturm oppurtunity.

[PauloTheGeek]

I had it for 115 - 114 to Murray. All the rounds were so close and were razor thin that I ain't got any arguments with anybody who thinks Sturm won. Sturm needs to either give him a rematch or have a rematch with Macklin who dominated him if he wants people to give him the respect he feels he deserves

[elsajew]

I also scored it 116-113 for Sturm. I don´t think we have to see a remath against Murray, but i would like to see one against Macklin, where i couldnt see how Felix won.

[MrPetleg]

I scored it 116-113 for Sturm but a rematch is definantly in order.Most rounds were so close.

[danleic]

i had it 115-113 to sturm id like to see him fight martinez or pirog next i think he did enough to beat murray here and in the macklin fight to hes a quality boxer he'd beat both if they had a rematch anyway
