Very sad. Cunningham won by 12th round TKO, Huck's corner threw in the towel. I had Huck ahead by one round, 6-5, going into the 12th.
Cunningham was doing a lot of holding and fouling throughout the fight, and the negro referee was letting him get away with it, while getting on Huck for the slightest reason. In the 12th, Cunningham got Huck with a head butt as they were clinching, and it seemed to weaken Marco, and then Cunningham started landing a lot of punches.

I'm surprised he lost. I wasn't expecting much of Huck anyway. In my post above I said he was "good but ordinary" and my assessment proved true. If the fight had gone to the scorecards he most certainly would have been given a win. I haven't seen the fight but judging from the result he tired in the 12th and lost concentration. No big deal. Cunningham, as I said, is "no better" than Huck. Squeaking a 12th round ref. stoppage proves that. Cunningham won, barely. He probably learned from his two fights with Wlodarczyk how to hold and save just enough energy for the last round. Neither won of these two guys would beat Maccarinelli, in my opinion. Maccarinelli has, as I stated before, more power and more skill, especially defensive skill. Edited by: Maple Leaf

I.ve seen both of these fellas fight before. I think Cunningham is pretty good. Nothing special, just pretty good. Huck in my opinion was just as good. However Cunningham obviously wanted it more. Personally I never was that excited about Marco Huck. Seems like a nice enough bloke though.

Marco Huck is young - fairly recently turned 23 I believe - so a loss on his record at this point in his career doesn't mean much - it may give him an incentive to try to improve. I see he has talent, but his technical skill needs improvement.

I root for any boxer who's white, I don't care what his religion is. The blue-eyed Russian boxer Sultan Ibragimov is one of the classiest people in the sport IMO.

I'm sorry but that is absolutely in no way what happened.
Huck did well up until round 4 but after that he would dive in with punches for the first minute and then Cunningham would start peppering him with clean punches and outlanded him badly.
Cunningham's punches started to show their effect in the tenth until Marco's corner threw in the towel in the twelfth. He already weakened before the headbutt took place.
Also Huck was throwing incredibly blatant elbows on the inside which the ref didn't check him for or even take a point off.
I had it 8-4 to Cunningham at the time of the stoppage and that is being generous to Huck.
Huck lost the fight because he was wild, sloppy and was clearly outboxed. The ref and the headbutt had nothing to do with it.
From this evidence through Enzo Maccranelli, if he paced himself, would do a number on Cunningham.

Did you actually see the fight ?. Cunningham was clearly outboxing a sloppy Huck.JD1986 said:

I couldn't agree more. Huck is really young, he wasn't ready for this. He reminds me a bit of Baysangurov, except he was fighting for a world championship, not just a European championship. A very young Baysangurov got beaten up and barely won a fight that definitely could've been scored the other way; Huck wasn't so lucky. But this wasn't Pavlik, Klitschko, or Calzaghe losing. Of course I was rooting for him, but it's not a big deal.
I didn't see this fight, but from what I saw in those dreadful Cunningham-Wlodarczyk fights, Cunningham is a crafty veteran who knows how to win. That's the kind of opponent that a young fighter like Huck needs to face, and learn from.

We didnt lose any belts, so thats positive at least. I was extremely disappointed about this fight but what can you do. However, didn't Wlodarczyk beat Cunninghman the second fight?

Cunningham outboxed Huck and beat him fair and square. Huck will get better.
whiteathlete33, Wlodarczyk won the first match with Cunningham and lost the second.

I finally saw this fight. Huck just wasn't multi-dimensional enough to beat Cunningham. Cunningham actually looked better than I thought he was. The stoppage looked similar to the loss that Wlad had against Purrity, where the Huck corner saved his fighter some punishment. I have seen corners nearly send out dead fighters to finish the fight ie Tyson vs Holy and Botha vs Moorer. This stoppage was much more humane.
