Huck Survives a Tough Challenge To Decision Arslan

•Nov 3, 2012

Gerry Weber Stadium, Halle, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany - Marco Huck (35-2-1, 25KOs) won a very close, and some felt controversial, twelve round unanimous decision over former WBA beltholder Firat Arslan (32-6-2, 21KOs). The scores were 115-113, 115-113 and a very unrealistic 117-111. Not everyone was happy with the outcome, with some ringside observers scoring the contest for Arslan. The British broadcasters at BoxNation scored it for Huck by three points, but Steve Bunce was in the studio and had it 115-114 for Arslan. BoxingScene had it 116-112 - for Arslan, who fought his heart out.

Marco Huck Seeks A Big Win To Justify Bigger Dreams

By Jake Donovan - Not even a career cruiserweight like Marco Huck can avoid the temptation of gaining just a few more pounds in pursuit of heavyweight paydays. Having never weighed above 200 lb for a single fight in his career, Huck decided to try something new earlier this year and contend for a heavyweight bout. Questionable scoring stood in the way of his becoming just the third ever fighter to officially win championships at cruiserweight and heavyweight when he came up on the short end of a majority decision against Alexander Povetkin earlier this year. The fight was indicative of the shortage of luck experienced in Huck’s career as of late. A strong case can be made for his serving as the best cruiserweight in the world, yet it’s been more than a year since his last official win. A return to cruiserweight was met with a hard-fought draw in a rematch with Ola Afolabi this past May, his last fight to date. You’d think the only thing on Huck’s mind at this bout would be a return to the win column. The reigning cruiserweight titlist is a heavy favorite to achieve just that when he faces 42-year old challenger Firat Arslan in his 10th title defense Saturday in Halle, Germany.
