Felix Sturm

Charles Martel · Feb 19, 2011

WBA middleweight champion Felix Sturm (35-2-1, 15 KOs) scored an impressive seventh round TKO over Ronald Hearns (26-2, 20 KOs) on Saturday night at the Porsche Arena in Stuttgart, Germany. Sturm was in command the first two rounds, but Hearns, the son of ring legend Thomas "The Hitman"Â Hearns, picked up the pace in round three. Sturm responded aggressively in dominating round four with his jab. Sturm continued to break down Hearns in workmanlike fashion. The bout ended in round seven when Sturm connected with a huge right hand leaving Hearns unable to continue. Referee was Raul Caiz Jr. Time was 2:30. "He showed he deserves to have the title,"Â said the The Hitman, who watched the bout from ringside.

Thanks Parody! Great win, devastating ko by Sturm.

Interesting piece of information I learned of Felix last night. A new friend of mind who is from Bosnia told me that Felix is also Bosnian as well. He said Felix Sturm is stage name, make like Jews did during the golden age of Hollywood. My friend who is a non practicing Muslim, said most likely Sturm is also an non practicing Muslim, based on her real name, which I can not pronounce or remember how to spell.

I look for better opponents and continued success for Felix. I believe he currently has the best left jab in the Middleweight Division, which includes the outstanding Sergio Martinez.

Sorry for the typos in the prior post. Getting tired. I meant obviously 'him' not 'her', I get frustrated at my grammar and spelling at times. Please bare with me.

His real name is Adnan Catic. His promoters gave him a german name for marketing purposes like they did with Marco Huck aka Muamer HukiÃƒâ€žc.

Both are muslims.

Can't wait till he fights a decent guy and gets KTFO.

Westside · Feb 20, 2011

itsme....you are correct! That is the name my friend stated. Adnan Catic. itsme, what if its an affeletic fighter, do you still want him to get the KTFO?

chris371 · Feb 20, 2011

As a real german, i couldnt care less about Sturm or Huck. I root for K2 and the russians in boxing. These fake germans with their fake names are an insult to me.

Hearns was another black hype job until he got knocked out by the "slow" Harry Joe Yorgey.

Some of our best boxers have been Muslims: Sturm, Huck, Chagaev, and the blue-eyed Russian Sultan Ibragimov. Bosnians, Chechens and Avars are white people.

I personally don't care what religion someone is, as long as the religion doesn't teach them the are the "chosen" or superior people. I have no quarrel with Muslims. No Muslim ever called me a "goy", which means something like "animal on two legs".

I'd love to see Marco Huck KO Steve Cunningham.

Well, Huck, or whatever his name is, did look excellent. It was very common for boxers in the USA in the old days to change their names for box office reasons.

So you're telling me you would've rather have Hearns won?

My thinking on this is that I don't look at religion or culture, but if someone is white and preferably European, I believe it is our job to root for that guy and make sure he is not discriminated against by promotes and DWFs.

Sturm vs Macklin

Looks like WBA middleweight champion Felix Sturm (35-2-1, 15 KOs) will defend his belt against Matthew Macklin (28-2, 19 KOs) on either June 25 or July 2 at the Lanxess Arena in Cologne, Germany. Macklin pulled out of a WBA eliminator against Khoren Gevor on April 16 because of a contractual dispute. Looks to be a good move as he will now go directly to the title shot.

BoxingFanUK · Apr 6, 2011

The fact that Sturm is Muslim has no affect on him being white. (And btw, its not like Felix Sturm is much of a practising Muslim either)

He is still 100% white European and that is what we should support.

Should we also make distinctions between Christians and Atheists? (That is we support white Christians more so than white atheists or vice versa?)

Absolutely not, because making distinctions based on religion is both ignorant and ridiculous, and we're not here with a religious agenda, we're here to support white boxers. We also cannot afford to further fragment ourselves by making religious distinctions.

Other Good White Muslim boxers of today include Zaurbek Baysangurov (Muslim Russian who is signed with Klitschko brothers promotional outfit K2), Marco Huck, and Ruslan Chagaev. Sultan Ibragimov was another fantastic Muslim European boxer who retired recently.

BTW, Klitschko brothers are known as being very friendly to European Muslims, and Vitali was extremely happy to sign Zaurbek Baysangurov. In fact, Vitali was even photographed with Kadyrov (important Muslim political leader). Klitschko brothers have promised to bring more boxing to Chechnya - Muslim region of Russia.

This article talks about Vitali Klitschko hanging out with Muslim political leader Ramzan Kadyrov

The article refers to Kadyrov as a "despot" ruler, though that is largely a matter of opinion and can be considered biased in many ways. Many different people would refer to him in many different ways. Just depends what side of the fence you're on.

Anyways, we're not here for a religious or political discussion.

Sturm, Baysangurov, Huck, Chagaev are white and thus should be supported.

Its good to know that Klitschko brothers feel the same way!

Zbik's corner stopped the fight after 9 rounds, because their fighter was taking a beating and had no answers.

The first three rounds were competitive, but by the 4th Sturm had adjusted to Zbik's style and dominated with clean, effective punches.

Sturm looked as sharp today as I've ever seen him.

Westside · Apr 14, 2012

I have always stated that Sturm has talent, he has the best jab in boxing right now. I just wish he would challenge the lineal Champion of the Middleweight division that is Sergio Martinez. Either fight him in Europe or here. In Europe it should be a 50/50 split. Here 60/40 in Martinez's favor. Regardless, in th coming months things are being sorted out in the 160 lbs division. Chavez Jr vs Lee. Pirog vs Geale. Martinez promised to get the winner of the Chavez vs Lee bout. Looks like Sturm will be left out in the cold, if he does not step or be reasonable in his purse demands.

What is great, no negros are in this round robin of sorts. Boxing has changed for the better in the heavyweight and middleweight and those in between.

TKOing Sebastian Zbik is a tremendous result for Sturm. Great win from him. Particularly when you consider that only one fight earlier, Zbik lost a very close decision to Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. (in fact, I thought Zbik WON that fight and was robbed).

So by means of comparison of a common opponent, Sturm looks fantastic compared to Chavez Jr.

Sturm is criticized a lot by American boxing fans and its just god damn ridiculous. Here is Sturm knocking out Zbik, the same Zbik that beat and was robbed to Chavez.

American fans praise Chavez but constantly blast Sturm for "weak opposition" and his perceived bad performances.

Sturm is a very decent champion, has earned his belt, and yes I agree that his opposition at times has been questionable. Sturm does have some very good results however:

- Getting Robbed VS De La Hoya
- W 12 Maselino Masoe (at the time a top10 MW)
- W 12 Sebastien Sylvester (at the time a top5, even top3 according to RING MW)
- TKO 7 Ronald Hearns
- W 12 Matthew Macklin
- TKO 9 Sebastian Zbik

are all very good results that deserve respect and praise.

American fight fans are disgustingly biased against Sturm and its absurd. Actually, the only guy at middleweight that is feasting on bums is Chavez Jr.

Sturm is not an alltime great like the Klitschko Brothers. But he's a very decent champion and very underrated and unfairly criticized by mainly American fans.

BoxingSpecialist2 · Apr 23, 2012

There is talk of Sturm's next fight being against Dmitry Pirog. Thats a good fight, and in a fairly officiated fight Id like Sturm's chances on a decision. If the fight is in Russia (as some are saying it will be) obviously you'd have to favour Pirog. Close fight, but I slightly favour Sturm provided its in a "neutral fair setting". The problem with this fight is that it would never be fair, in Germany Sturm will be favoured and in Russia Pirog will be favoured.

On the other hand, Gennady Golovkin is a guy thats been constantly avoided by Sturm unfairly. Golovkin in my opinion, would beat Sturm. Then again, I truly feel there is a good chance Golovkin could beat anyone at 160.

Sturm/Golovkin is a fight that needs to be made. Golovkin has been a mandatory for about 2 or 3 years now. This is absurd and he has more than earned his titleshot.

Completely agree. I even heard american boxing media presenting Zbik as the favorite against a so called aging champion on the decline. Even though i couldn't care less of Chavez Jr, this fight not only exposed him but proved Mathew Macklin was a very decent opponent for Martinez.
