		Felix dominated the fight, he bloodied Varon’s nose and cut him over the right eye in the middle rounds, and outworked him and landed the sharper punches throughout the fight.
		Felix has been scheduled to fight on the undercard of this event at Berlin’s Estrel Convention Center, and was a late substitute for his stablemate, WBO No. 1 ranked Bert Schenk, who was injured in training and withdrew.

	Boxing News : Groves : Who is Felix Sturm, and Why Should Oscar De La Hoya Care?
		Sturm is a mystery to most American boxing fans, and when he was announced as De La Hoya's next ring assignment, visions of past European washouts Patrick Charpentier and Morrade Hakkar danced -- or backpedaled -- through their minds.
		Sturm's hand speed is impressive: a frame-by-frame examination shows his jab takes 1/6 of a second to travel from its normal defensive position to his opponent's chin, slightly slower than Oscar's jab in the Mosley rematch.
		Sturm is at his best moving forward behind his jab in a controlled manner (as he did against Varon last December), but Velazco's aggressiveness forced Sturm into immediate retreat.

	Felix Sturm: Raise the white flag?
		Sturm was scheduled to fight on the undercard of the event in Berlin, when he replaced injured WBO #1 contender Bert Schenk with less than four days notice.
		After the fight, Sturm was quoted as saying that he hadn’t planned to fight for the title so soon, but the opportunity had presented itself and he wasn’t going to walk away.
		Sturm’s low knockout percentage is more a result of his hit and run style, rather than a gauge of his power.

		Sturm, the 25-year-old defending WBO champion from Hamburg, Germany, has good technical skills but no punch and while he's a 'world champion' of sorts he hasn't fought in top world class.
		Whatever technical or tactical weaknesses Sturm believes De La Hoya may have, one flaw the WBO champ does believe Oscar carries into the ring is the fact the mega-star is already looking beyond boxing in general and this fight in particular.
		Sturm also stressed the fact that he will no be unnerved by the experience of fighting before a massive pro-Oscar crowd.

		Merely a year ago WBO middleweight champion Felix Sturm (23-1) was chosen to play Patrick Charpentier for Oscar De La Hoya (37-4) in preparation for a fall super-bout with undisputed middleweight champion Bernard Hopkins (46-2-1).
		To be fair, he stayed active, dispatched them in fitting style and even bulked up a bit to improve his strength and punching power, but it was hardly enough to keep his momentum.
		Sturm gave us a glimpse of his star potential against the “Golden Boy” and I don’t want to pretend that it never happened, so don’t feed me the Jorge Sendra´s of the world, because I’m not buying it and neither are the fans.

		Several days before the Sturm fight, De La Hoya said as much when he admitted that Hopkins was a devastating fighter on the inside but then asked a rhetorical question that he has to make Hopkins answer in three months.
		He must also be careful not to re-injure his back in the three months he has left to prepare for Hopkins because although he refused to make it an excuse for his shockingly lackluster debut as a middleweight, he hinted that there were physical problems that limited him.
