WBO cruiserweight champion Marco "Kapt'n"Â Huck (28-1, 21 KOs) scored a ninth roynd TKO over former heavyweight contender Brian Minto (34-3, 21 KOs) on Saturday night at the Weser-Ems-Halle in Oldenburg, Germany. The slimmed down Minto pressed the action as usual, but Huck landed most of the clean shots. A good exchange between the fighters to end round two. Huck dropped Minto with a big right hand in round three. Minto was down another time in the round, but that was ruled a slip by referee Robert Byrd. Huck dropped Minto again in round five after a furious exchange, but there was no quit in Minto, although he went to the wrong corner at the end of the round. The pace slowed as the bout progressed, although the pattern of Minto pressuring Huck landing the better shots. Minto was decked again in the ninth and the bout was stopped in Minto's corner between rounds. The win gets a measure of revenge against Minto for Minto's 2006 career-ending win over German icon Axel Schulz, who was in attendance. Schulz and Huck had been in contact by webcam leading up to the fight. Also on hand was German heavyweight Luan Krasniqi, who beat Minto in 2007.
