Said Lorenzo: “My preparation has been going great; I am in the best shape of my career, physically and mentally. I am so hungry to prove that I am the best middleweight in the world.”
“Sturm has always been protected by Universum and ducked fights against tough middleweights like myself, now the world will see him getting destroyed, I am certain he will not be able to hold my shots for more than six rounds. I will break him down and crush him.”
The 29 year old Lorenzo, 29-2-1 (21KO’s), previously traveled to Germany in September 2009, challenging Sebastian Sylvester for the IBF Middleweight Title, losing a very close, controversial, split decision.
Continued Lorenzo, “I am the uncrowned champion at 160, since I was robbed in Germany last time. This time I will not leave it in the hands of the judges. I can’t wait for September 4th to come; I will be the new WBA champion of the world.”
Sturm, 33-2-1 (14KO’s), won the WBA title from Javier Castillejo in April 2007 and has defended it seven times, most recently winning a unanimous decision over Khoren Gevor on July 11, 2009 by unanimous decision.
A native of the Dominican Republic, Lorenzo is promoted by TKO Boxing Promotions and managed by Kurt Emhoff and Rich Ryan.
