They say Karmas a ***** and this couldn't be more true for Steve Cunningham tonight! Last year, Cunningham boxed Troy Ross, who was winning on all score cards after knocking Cunningham down in the fourth round. After getting up, not 10 seconds later, Cunninghams thumb tore the eyelid of Ross wide open ending the fight with a TKO victory for Cunningham. Cunningham has done everything to avoid fighting Ross again. Pretty much a closet champion! I couldn't have been happier to see Cunningham lose his title in this controversial manner. He wasn't a true champion, so now hopefully we see Troy Ross in the mix challenging for a world title soon!
agreed......not to mention fighting 1 time a year, doesnt do much for you..... his chin is pretty bad....talk off him ever going to heavy is a joke...haye would have destroyed him at cruiser
His chin is bad but he has heart, its not easy to finish him off, he will get back up and outbox you.
no one questioned his heart.... poor management early on....poor self management the last 2 years.... and inactivity has killed him.....hes a physical specimen , so you know hes in shape.....wasted talent
I agree. Maybe him and Ross will rematch and the winner gets Hernandez. Cunningham strikes me as a cruiser version of Tim Bradley or Chad Dawson. Sits around complaining that he doesn't have any fans. Well maybe you'd make some if you got off your ass and fought once in a while. Wouldn't hurt to have a personality either. (I'll give Dawson credit though, he actually does seem really socially awkward and he tries his best to get good fights and now he's got what he was after. Bradley is still a ***** though.)
Anyone watching the Ross vs Cunningham fight clearly knew that Ross was winning that fight! From my understanding, Ross is the mandatory challenger for Hernandez now!
Ross lost three rounds and scored a flash knockdown then he got cut from a punch. he wasn´t winning. not even close to. he was a game opponents that was it.. now stufu noob Hernandez couldn´t beat Michael Simms.. that fight was a textbook robbery
