Oscer likes to wait until the 10 seconds left signal to pour it on, in an attempt to steal rounds. Too many judges are in the habit of thinking that 10 seconds makes a round, and he has won several fights using this method. He even tried to do it in the first two rounds of the fight with Sturm,
Sturm was smart to get out of his range for those 10 seconds. The fight was fixed, there is no way in hell that all 3 judges could have had the same score unless they were told how to score the rounds before the fight started. No one else came up with that score, yet all 3 of them did? Bullshit.
But hey, I have said it before and I will say it again, in Vegas if you go to the cards, the winner is anyone's guess.
Bring back the 15 round championship fight and you will eliminate a lot of the corruption in boxing today.

lol.. yes I have seen him fight before.. boxing is pretty much the only sport I'm into. There is a difference between nullifying his end of round flurries and turning your back on him to run away.
Sturm was a lot better than expected.. not very exciting and pretty one dimensional.. but not bad at all.
I'm not going to argue that Oscar should have won the fight.. I don't think he did and certainly not unanimously.. If he fights like that Hopkins will absolutely demolish him. I can only assume it's the extra weight.. or a particular style mismatch with Sturm.
