Braithwaite is the obvious puncher in the fight and maybe has the better chin but imo Cunningham is more likely to score a ko because he's going to find it much, much easier to land on Braithwaite. This should be an easy enough fight for Cunningham and he'd be best served playing it relatively safe like Maccarinelli did and not get stupid like Hernandez trying to take big truck out. The one thing Big Truck has left is a big punch, and Cunningham if he fights stupid could fall victim to that. However I reckon Cunnigham late stoppage as he wears Braithwaite down and stops him later when the same punches have a much greater effect.
Cunningham would have to get careless to get dropped but certainly if he does even for a moment he likely will. I still don't think Braithwaite can stop him, unless he catches him really early in a round and USS either panics or can't recover himself in time. Cunningham scoring a KD or two himself seems far likelier. I don't know that Steve's relative low rate of sinkers necessarily merits the conclusion that he's featherfisted, he just throws most of his power punches while still moving his feet. YPH wasn't exactly squared up on Wayne when he floored him, and he's no big bomber (nor did he land anything as straight as Cunningham will land).
Adamek, Steve Cuningham, The big Truck Braithwaite, Ben Flores Guillermo Jones etc. These are good Cruiserweights. But the Division realy has alot of Bums for example you have Maccarenelli, Palacios, etc. What is up with that..For example Palacios has an unblemished record who has he fought? can't realy think of a good name huh? So of course he has a great record on Paper. Maccarenelli is already to me my opinion finished..The most I can say is that the cruiserweights has had there share of greats but now its a low class division. This weekend unsure where they are supposed to fight Cunningham and The Big Truck are gonna fight. That should be a good fight. But really count how many cruiserweights that give good shows there are about 6 good fighters in the Cruiserweight Division. I say this .. some of these guys need to ether move up like Haye or Move down or even Get out. Since Haye moved up there is realy no explosive fights .. There was one a while back.. Also Bell needs to stop being so damn lazy. And to me that guy Palacios who is he ? I really never seen any of his fights I think there is one I think is on you tube..wow big screen. I looked him up his amateur career wasnt nothing impressive..I feel he is just a front guy. I see his record and Looked at who he has fought .. Lawrence chapman (bum), Luis Pineda-(Bum).,Harvey Jolly (who) Zack Page-(yawning).. Louis Azille old guy 38 yrs. old. and now he supposed to fight Manu Ntoh 41 yrs old ..what the hell is that .. I just feel that cruiserweight boxing is becoming sorry.. I Live in Miami and I cannot stand whats going on .. The cruiserweights was one of the best divisions but slowly it is becoming like the WWE entertainment .. bring on the Big show and John Cena.. thats just my opinion,,Hey Adamek, USS, BIG TRUCK, FLORES clear out all these bums from your division make room for some competition in your division....and lets say bye bye to all these bums....:hi: a real cruiserweight fan
I second that one.atschWhy do you zero out Palacios(who I seen on FNFs a few years back and looked pretty good) for??? Francisco Palacios is doing what 97% of all fighters do in there careers.
