Marco Huck - Brian Minto... round by round...

I hope so I put on 400 on vBookie

 

Pff I forgot to bet

 

You have about 3 hours to bet on MMF vs SSM if you up to it.

 

I got already 400 on Floyd, hope to see great fight though

 

I never said he was.

Agreed. But my point was that there aren't many technically sound, well-schooled boxers @ CW right now. I found the remarks about 'any top 20 CW' and 'at least 10 CWs' that can beat Huck anyday of the week far out and I think you discovered that yourself by just checking out the list of current CWs.

Overall, I agree with your post. Huck is just a tough above average fighter, with good power. But the thing is, there aren't many CWs out there who are definitely better than him.

 

you know, Wlodarczyk was manhandled by Huck in sparing sessions leading to Cunningham. Huck's too powerful for him, just like his for Alexeev.

Those would be good scraps I agree, but certainly none of them would be a betting favourite against Huck (nor would have an easy night). Cunningham is the only guy I would put my money against Huck and be relatively certain I'll see it again.

I'm bit surprised by some people's reaction. The guy is limited, improves very slowly, but is and will be handful for any cruiser with his power, stamina, and chin. And he's fooking 24 only!

 

Huck has many haters on here, number ine beeing the TS btw., just look into the European board. I can understand them, he is a dirty fighter, dumb and not exaclty a nice and likable person but that should not cloud the judgement. Right now he is a Top3/5 cw. He is still young and has the talent to be up there for a long time. If he impreves. I haven´t seen much improvement over the last 2 years though. Wegener wants him to do things that are just not what Huck is. Huck is a brawler/Pressure fighter. Wegener wants him to turn a boxer. I think this beeing forced to do what is against his nature and so falling back into bad habits is hurting him as a fighter and his developement. Perhaps he should switch to another trainer.

Nothing against Wegener, best German trainer but I think he is wrong for Huck.

 

He said so in the past that he wants to step up to cw and fight the Klitschkos and Haye. That´s a stretch. He is still young he should hang on in the cw division and step up competition for another 2 years and then slowly step up.

 

Yes, he already did. But since then he slowed down a bit and the inactivity hurts him. I´m not so sure he would do so again. He should be the favourite though. 60/40 Cunningham.

Lebedev has a very good chance. He looks the goods. But he hasn´t fought the level of fighter Huck is yet, so it´s hard to judge. He has the style-advantage. 50/50 because Lebedev is stepping up. Otherwise he would be the favourite.

More technical ability, yes. More power, no. This would be a great fight. Wlodarzcyck should be the fav but Huck has a decent chance. His pressure and workrate may get to the Pole. 60/40 Wlodarczyk.

Nah. Sorry, nothing Alexxev showed after the Ramrez fight gives me evidence he would beat Huck. Alexeev made a developement backwards. Sadly, he was once the best prospect in the division but like you said Ramirez took his soul. Can´t see him beating Huck. Not this version. 60/40 Huck.

Nah, Huck should be the fav. Flores is good but Huck has the style advantage. He would put the pressure on and outwork him. Flores can´t take out Huck. 70/30 fight for Huck.

Would be a good fight but Drozd is not better than Ramirez or Afolabi. Huck would outpoint him. 60/40 Huck.

None of them is ready for someone like Huck yet. Frenkel is the best of them right now. He may be ready in about a year. Huck would be a solid favourite over every oine of them, like 80/20.

You let your hate for Huck cloud your judgement.

 

I´m not surprised. There are many good Eastern European fighters with Eastern European fans at cw. Those don´t like Germans - or at least that´s the impression I have - and let this cloud their judgement. I agree with the rest.

At 2:20 Minto was so confused, that he sat down in Huck´s corner
