Félix Sturm TKO3 Benjamin Blindert ... Now campaigning at light heavyweight, former WBA middleweight champion Félix Sturm turned back the clock over the weekend, stopping Benjamin Blindert in three rounds at the Ratiopharm Arena in Neu-Ulm, Germany. Now 46 years old, Sturm showed that experience and ring IQ still were enough to win at this level. From the opening bell, he pressed forward, closing the distance to work his combinations and break down Blindert, whose record is now 14-2-2. Sturm's first major breakthrough came in round two, when a crisp right hand sent his opponent crashing to the canvas. Blindert beat the count, but Sturm never let up. He continued applying pressure, smothering Blindert’s attempts to find space. The third round was all Sturm. He dropped Blindert twice, first with a sharp right hook, then moments later with a right uppercut that left the referee no choice but to wave it off. Since returning to the ring in 2020, Sturm has strung together six wins, defeating Timo Rost, James Kraft, Istvan Szili, and Sukru Altay (twice). With the victory, Sturm improves to 45-6-3.
