    So Cunningham will face Lebedev?

    Cunningham is getting some major tests since signing with Sauerland. First Ross, now Lebedev...probably the most feared guy in the division without a belt.

    I hope USS is up to the challenge!

    Some good fights on the way if this pans out.

    Lebedev is not the fastest or most technically sound boxer on the planet, but he might be the most dangerous crusierweight in the entire galaxy. He's the Abraham of this tournament as he's likely knock someone out of the whole thing, and it could very well be Cunningham in the opening round robin stage. This is the best and toughest fight of the planned first 3, and IMO whoever comes out on top (unharmed) will win the whole thing.

    Now the question is: does this Super Six makes is to the Showtime screen?

    Damn Cunningham ha smassive balls. He seems to be a lttle past-prime though now and Lebedev has looked great so I'm picking Denis here.

    Yeah, USS is a warrior. Cunningham is still the #1 Cruiserweight in the world until proven otherwise.

    I do agree though he is starting to decline a bit now at age 34.

    I still rank Cunningham above Huck, so he is the #1 cruiserweight in the world

    however, Lebedev is a very tough challenge. Cunningham might be able to hang on and win a decision, because Lebedev isnt the quickest, but if Lebedev starts landing on him, I could see a TKO. very intriguing match-up, its 60/40 for me

    EDIT: and I like how Huck is fighting Herelius instead of these two monsters, haha

    Cunningham is the man!! Even though he's not fighting much, he always comes in great shape, always in for the biggest challenge, and even though he doesn't have the KO-punch but can that man FIGHT!! USS WAR!!

    Totally agreed. Too bad his career was just poorly timed. After beating nearly everybody out there he's unlucky to just be declining as the next generation of cruisers are on the horizon.

    Agreed 100%. I'm hoping he still has enough left in the tank to make the impact he should on this tournament! Lebedev's a solid fighter with a hell of a punch, but Cunningham will fight anyone. The dude deserves more fans than what he's got!

    Apparently they are protecting Huck from Lebedev. They don't want him fighting him until later in the tournament. Steve stepped right up and said he wanted to fight him. That's what real champions do. If you look at USS and Huck's resume you can see USS only fights top level competion. Huck likes Ducks!!
