Huck vs. Cunningham

[Zerwas]

This is probably the last big fight in 2007, so it's probably worth a little coverage.

I have seen a couple of Huck fights and he is a strong and hungry fighter.

Cunningham has always been a little underrated, I backed him to win the first fight against Wlodarzyk but didnt dare to bet on him in the second fight. :/

Cunningham will probalby have a hard time to get through Hucks defence with his jab. On the other hand he will have do do a lot of clinching to smother Hucks offense.

Anyways, I think the best Cunningham can hope for is a mildly competetive fight which he wont win in Germany.

He cannot hurt Huck and I dont know if Huck can hurt Cunningham....

I put some bucks on Huck straight and I also have
a scalp bet that will double my money when the fight goes over 9 and under 11.5 rounds.

Huck by decision seems to be the likeliest outcome.

The odds arent that compelling though....
:shrug:

I was initiallly jazzed at the +300 once available on Cunningham but now I'm thinking that was nice trap material by 5dimes. I've only watched Cunningham once on Youtube so that may not be enough but I was turned off by his jab and grab tactics and liked the limited Pole's work in their second fight. One forum poster described his style as effective Junk boxing, well , I don't think that crap is going to work against the strong Huck in his backyard. Look at every result of Cunningham versus his only solid competition- all 4 fights it's either split or majority decision because that non-fan-friendly style is hard to judge and I'm sure the judges will take care of their man in Germany . I've got one concern- isn't Huck a little hot-headed with a kickboxing background. Cunningham's tactics may frustrate him. The fact that the fight is in Germany is huge- I'm averaged in due to the power of the parlay around -220 and feeling good about it.

Yes, Huck is a bit hot-headed.

I'm not a 100% sure, but from what I recall he retalitated with a kick to a headbut from his Italian opponent.

The Italian was penalized, left the ring and Huck won by disqualification.

Strange fight, I think Huck can get away with quite a bit in Germany, but yes, you are right, he might get a little frustrated with Cunninghams style.

But on the other hand, I think Hucks style will pose even bigger problems for Cunningham.

Arslan and Abraham showed how hard it is to get through a tight defence.

Huck is very explosive and well conditionned,...he should win this fight.
