    I'm still picking Cunningham to beat Huck if he gets fair judging. He moves well, and if he keeps his workrate up higher than against Wlodarcyzk, he'll outbox Huck.

    I like Cunningham. But Huck COULD take this. Im not 100% sure tho. Cunningham is indeed slick and he has somewhat some speed. I like Stevey. He seems like a cool guys and hes a good boxer stylistically.

    I don't know my final prediction for this fight, but I presume it would be close. Im leaning maybe a hair towards Mark, but im not sure yet.

    'Out work Huck', LMFAO ? Cunnigham, he is gunshy to even let his hands go at all against Diablo. Steve held him like he was a lover!

    Do realize how many punches Huck throws?

    "He moves well ", Cunnigham better move well because Huck will tear him to pieces. The problem is Huck is quick, and athletic, unlike Diablo who is ponderous. This is Huck's fight to take. You probably are right though that Cunnigham will try and take the fight with bull**** tactics :running, shoe shinning, and holding, etc. Whatever he can do to make it a lame fight benefits Cunnigham.

    According to the news their encounter will take place in Huck's backyard,in Bielefeld,Germany.

    All the odds are against Cunningham IMO.
    Huck has the edge in firepower,has stamina is good,his workrate relatively high,and he will fight in front of his home town crowd.
    Cunningham has to put his best foot forwarth to survive a 12 round war with his very young and capable opponent in the German's backyard.

    Well,Cunningham, a cat in gloves catches no mice!

    If you're referring to me, I said OUTBOX not OUTWORK. There's a difference.

    And again, you make pretty strong statements for only having seen two of the guy's fights. I'm not saying Cunningham will absolutely win, but he's got damn good skills, and as good as Huck is, he has plenty of weaknesses to be exploited.

    I'll tell you right now that Guillermo Jones was a better fighter when Cunningham edged him than Huck is at the present time.

    Huck showed a very convincing performance against Tokarev.
    At the time of their fight Tokarev was genuine top 10 cruiser weight.
    I still dare to say that if Tokarev fought Cunningham's victim Wlodarcyk tomorrow the strong Russian would take the Pole out of action within the first half of their encounter.
    Of course Cunningham has a chance to beat the relatively inexerienced Huck,but he for sure must be called the underdog in his upcomming bout against Huck on German soil.
    My advice,Cunningham:Hit and run,be extremely cautious within the first 2-3 rounds,go for the body,and clinch,clinch,and again clinch! Huck's stamina is good,and so is his punch,but his defence is a bit sloppy,and he tends to lose his compusure when provoked and under pressure.
    Make the fight dirty,provoke him,get under his skin,make him make mistakes in the ring!
    Remember that Huck is a very strong and powerful young fighter who isnt very keen on following his coach's game plan!
