Middleweight Felix Sturm (27-2, 12 KOs) became a three-time world champion on Saturday night, regaining the WBA belt via twelve round unanimous decision against reigning titlist Javier Castillejo (61-7, KOs) at the König-Pilsener-Arena in Oberhausen, Germany. Castillejo, who had stopped Sturm in their previous fight, again tried to be aggressive, but Sturm's movement, clean punching and good defense allowed him to pile up the rounds, then withstand a late Castillejo surge to win by scores of 116-112, 116-112, 115-113.
