    What are you opinions of him? I've read some negative stuff such as he's a clincher, etc. But he's now a titlist and has good wins over Jones, Davis, Rothmann, and Wlodarczyk.

    I've only seen the youtube clip of the Wlodarczyk fight. Any chance he could beat a Mormeck or other top guy?

    I'm still looking for a full copy of the Wlodarczyk fight if anyone can link me. The avi I had wouldn't play.

    Fast, good chin, likes to keep distance by jabbing, no punching power, a lot of clinches. Marco Huck is his mandatory challenge and I doubt Steve defeats him.

    He just barely won the belt about a month ago so i dont see that happening just yet.

    I know he turned down a Wlodarczyk rubber match and a proposed bout with Adamek also.

    From what i hear Mormeck is targeting Cunningham.

    I saw him beat Kelvin Davis and he didn't look too bad with good size and speed. He enjoyed a nice style advantage and took care of business. I'd need to see more of him to say if he could beat some of other top cruisers out there, but the night I saw him he doesn't look like an easy night for anyone.

    I was at that fight too, covering the Braithwaite-Jones fight. He beat Davis easy just by jabbing, circling.

    Warren wanted him for Enzo's fight on the 21st this month but Cunningham's team said he needed more time to recover from the Wlodarczyk bout, that's why. Still, Enzo v Braithwaite's a decent alternative.

    He huggs too much, but his offensive skills are solid. Nice jab, grat speed, lacks power. Can crack a nice combo. Good defence, balance, good at fighting on outside. When he feels his opponents power, he clinches and makes the fight uggly.

    Really good fight, I remember after the Austin-Beck fight a lot of people got up and left after their hometown guy won without realizing there was still one fight to go. They thought that was the main even and ended up missing the best fight of the night.

    Yeah Cunningham looked pretty solid out there beating Davis easier than I thought he would be able to. Used his size excellently.

    He's fought some very good competition, hence his KO % is a bit deceiving. Imo he lost the first Wlodarczyk fight by a hair due to fighting scared (after getting clipped ealry), had a better fight second time around and won close on the cards.

    Stylistically he's more boxer than puncher to be sure, but is physically strong and does have some decent pop.
