    He got rocked really hard which once again proves he doesn't have a great chin. But he has heart any many felt he was up on points at the time of the stoppage. He looked done but survived and came back.
    Cruiserweight division is rather weak.

    He's getting on now though. What is he 35 and 36 he's been in some quality fights down the years as well.

    i understand where you coming from but Hernandez is nothing special. Hes basically lets say a eurobum that happened to be born in Cuba. Theres a reason why Cunningham has never been stopped. hes a surviver. Hernandez hurt him and yeah he nearly had him out with one punch but Cunningham got up and while Cunningham was hurt Hernandez came on jabbing behind his guard. A guy like that is not going to close the show on someone like Cunningham. All Cunningham has to do is to continue where he has stopped the last time and if the fight goes down naturally as it is supposed to be without fraud or invasion from outside the ring in my opinion Hernandez has no chance.

    Nothing wrong with the count in the first. What was wrong though, was the doctor recommending stoppage later on, due to Hernandez cut "It isnt dangerous, but it irritates him" :patsch

    The problem was those headbutts were effecting Hernandez in mulitple ways. So it wasn't really fair to ask YPH to fight another 6 rounds with that injury.

    the IBF doped him from their rankings, they claim Ross´ eyelids are fake and were made out of wet toilet paper and that it´d be illegal to wear wet toilet paper eyelids in IBF championship fights:-(

    Yes, but form what I heard the IBF has called it a wrong stoppage. Maybe the doctor should have used another wording, now it seems a bit biased.

    If Cunningham wins I'll expect to see a Huck unification + rematch pretty soon in 2012.

    As long as Hernandez feels comfortable to punch between Cunningham's punches he'll be loads of problems for USS. Cunningham looked better once Hernandez became all "please don't hit my cut". Glad to hear that the rematch may come.
