Macklin pressing for Sturm rematch Feb 25th 2014, 22:57, by Dan Rafael In 2011, England’s Matthew Macklin got plain ripped off in a split decision loss challenging Felix Sturm for his middleweight title in Germany. I was part of the American broadcast team for the fight on Epix and I, along with the rest of our the team, thought Macklin clearly won the fight. A rematch has been discussed on and off since and now those talks are on again as Macklin (30-5, 20 KOs) is coming off a strong performance in a decision win against Lamar Russ in December and Sturm (39-3-2, 18 KOs) regained a title in December by stopping Darren Barker in the second round.
