    Its peaked my interest.

    Firat has had a comeback, Rocky sort of deal going on the past few years. Taking time off after back to back stoppages (One of them a brutal ass beating) and in two of his last three outings he's been royalled ****ed in the butt against two top ten cruisers, both who are a decade younger than him.

    I like his chances against Huck the second time around. A robbery two times in a row against the same opponent is brazen even for Germany, though knowing Firat's recent luck he'll have three robbery draws in a row. :-(

    Since their first meeting Firat has gone a light 10 in a tune up where Marco had a grueling 12 round war with long time nemesis Ola Afolabi...

    Thoughts?

    I'm not surprised that this match doesn't capture the imagination of people outside of Germany. Many will simply look at how old Arslan is and write him off as an easy night for the long reigning Huck.

    Personally I think it's going to be another close one. Huck said that he underestimated Arslan last time so this time he should have a different plan. I expect it is going to be an all-action scrap especially in the early rounds. Gut feeling says that Huck will overwhelm Arslan and the ref will stop it by round 5-6.

    Anyone think Huck could have success at heavyweight if he moves up after this fight?

    1st fight resulted in a pretty bad decision but I still can't get myself excited for a rematch.

    I'm looking forward to it. It's going to be an entertaining fight for certain.

    I expect Huck to win decisively this time. I had him losing by one point in the first fight.

    Might put a bit of money on Arslan decision

    Last time Huck KO was favourite, you could tell it wasnt gonna happen but the bet in play odds were still good

    Not really that interested at the moment, but I will almost certainly watch it.
    Because what are the chances we get a dull fight if Huck is in the ring, against anyone. Capt'n Caveman always delivers.

    I wait of this fight. Ok Arslan is 43 now but he is still a Gladiator with good stamina for his age. I like him and i hate Huck.

    First Fight was a big robbery and I hope Arslan can take the win this time.

    The result will only be interesting if Arslan wins.

    Anything in favor of Huck is just a further question as to why Arslan was so successful the first time around?

    Arslan won the first fight 8 round to 4 on my cards. Was not close at all. Arslan took him to town.

    I thought Arslan won the first fight too but I have to admit, Huck looked like a much improved boxer against Afolabi last year so Firat might need to keep him under pressure again this time too.

    Style-wise I think these two make a great match even for the neutral, casual fan.
