Sturm, after taking a round or 3 to get rid of the ring rust, went back to doing what he does best... and did it damn well. He's never going to set any excitement records for his fight and considering how lucrative his career in Germany is he's unlikely to face the top fighters from other countries... but if he were to I think he'd do pretty damn well for himself.
Has a fight between him and Zsolt ever been suggested? Zsolt fights a weightclass or two up, but he's not a big LHW and I'd hope his cruiserweight adventure is over with.
