Thoughts on Steve Cunningham's heavyweight debut

I watched this last night and wondered what people thought of his performance against Jason Gavern. I really enjoyed it. I think you very rarely (if ever) see as technically a nice performance as Cunningham did Saturday night. His jab was brilliant, he wa really snappnig that out and he fought well in the inside at time making space for bodyshots. I loved how he would double and triple up on the left hook, sometimes turning Gavern before doing it- when do you see that at heavyweight these days? I thought his right handa was a little sloppy at times and think he should have straightened it up somewhat. Gavern in the first half was trying in spots then seemed to just stop throwing all together. Of course its hard to predict what Cunningham is capable of at this weight when facing a opponent as limited as Gavern. But then again Gavern tends to be usually more aggressive (when I've seen him) and Cunningham stopped hm from doing that with his great jab I think. What did you think on his performance?

I'd like to see him fight a big European see how he gets on. He's fought in Germany before, mabye go back to fight someone like a Alexander Dimitrenko. Or Francesco Pianeta, that might be ok. Still need to see his fight with Botha though.
