On Saturday night in Germany, WBO cruiserweight champ Marco Huck had it easier than expected with American boxer Matt Godfrey in the headliner of Sauerland´s show at the Messhall. Godrey was down in the second and floored twice in the fifth before it was stopped at 2.18.
Wilfried Sauerland, owner of promotional company Sauerland Event, says the rumored Super Six cruiserweight tournament will be moving forward. The tournament will be based on Showtime's Super Six super middleweight tournament, which Sauerland Event played a big role in putting together.
Huck´s next fight will be the opening fight of the cruiserweight Super Six and will take place December 4 or December 18 but against who isn´t clear yet.
The other participants in the tournament appear to be IBF ruler Steve Cunningham, WBC champ Krzysztof Wlodarczyk (who of course must beat Jason Robinson on September 25), Russian Denis Lebedev and perhaps Yoan Pablo Hernandez. A sixth name will be announced and Sauerland hinted at a fourth champion joining the tournament.
