Felix Sturm and Robert Stieglitz are two of Germany’s most popular and successful fighters, and the pair will meet in a huge crossroads super middleweight catchweight bout on Saturday night in Stuttgart.
Sturm is a four-time middleweight champion, but he hasn’t looked impressive of late, dropping three of his last five contests. One of those losses was later changed to a no-contest, but it appears as though his best days are in the rearview mirror.
Stieglitz, a two-time, and until earlier this year reigning super middleweight champion, dropped a narrow decision and his belt to Arthur Abraham in the rubber match of their series in March. He won his last fight, impressively, over a low-level foe in July.
This fight might not be getting much attention in the United States, but it’s a huge event in Germany, where both fighters are household names.
Read on for your complete preview and prediction for Sturm vs. Stieglitz.
