just another robbery – not more to say
I think that both the commentater and the judges were watching another fight.
This makes a mockery of both the result and both fighters records. I will add a win to the Russians record and delete Sturm’s. A joke!!!
Despite Chudinov not being that good, he totally dominated Sturm, threw more punches and was crearly way stronger than the german. Sturm by the six round looked very damaged from Chudinov’s constant barrage. I think Fedor Chudinov needs to change his trainer, looking back at his other fights it is clear that he hasn’t grown too much as a boxer, but i like the general style, agressive but not reckless.
Only in Germany.
