STURMS-HEARNS under 9.5 rounds???

[kball15]

I'll admit I'm not too familiar with Sturm cause he never fights on US TV really, but could Hearns be any further out of his league?

The guy got knocked out by Yorgey. He is so easy to hit and seems to have a very unreliable chin.

Sturm is no KO artist, but as a consumate pro I think he manhandles Hearns

Thoughts? Thinkin about putting a small bet on the Under 9.5 at +145

I personally don't feel comfortable betting on any of Sturm's fights. His level of inactivity coupled with the low quality of his opposition makes it hard for me to get a feel for his talent. If I had to bet it though, I would go under. In addition to what you said, I have concerns about Hearns' wind (I think the Yorgey TKO had as much to do with exhaustion as the punches). Also Hearns does have power and he may feel that the only way he can win in Germany against a German fighter is to go all out early and try to score the KO.
