K.O.W. - Sturm und Drang

This Saturday in Oberhausen, Germany, with the WBA title at 160 on the line, Javier Castillejo and Felix Sturm will meet in a rematch of their bruising bout from July of last year. In their first fight, the veteran Spaniard Castillejo won Sturm's WBA middleweight belt with a sudden, vicious TKO in the 10th round, a stoppage that we revisit today as our No Mas Knockout of the Week. This is a true one-punch coup de grace as you'll see below, a left hook in the closing seconds of the 10th round that puts Sturm several blocks past queer street. Unfortunately for the German, the telling blow did not put him on the ground. Crumpling forward into Castillejo, Sturm received three whipping uppercuts to the head before the ref could mercifully put an end to the proceedings. I tell you people, those last three punches were like killing a mockingbird.
