    Huck reminds me of David Haye. Same sloppy style, deliberate rabbit punches, same way of stalking, and the same fighting in spurts to preserve his stamina.

      Huck fought in spurts and looked content employing the AA defense while Minto pawed away with his punches. It looked to me that Minto didn't have any energy and his punches looked very weak...

      Good win for Huck though, he's fighting frequently these days (it was 3 months or less since his last fight) and gotta admire that..

        Huck has often fought dirty, but to be fair I'm not sure todays rabbitpunches was intentional as Minto often ducked very low. Anyway it's hard to judge.

          I agree Minto didn't look himself at 200 pounds.

          It's a good example of why it is so ridiculous when people assume that every decent 220 pound heavyweight would be better off fighting at Cruiserweight.

            After the fight Minto said that he had worked hard for this fight, but he now had to evaluate his career since he's now 35.

            Yeah good win for Huck. I wonder if Cunningham awaits soon. Would be a nice rematch to see how much Huck has really improved.

                Murat-Karpency is now in round 3.

                Anybody knows Karpency?

                  I think they will keep a very safe distance from Mr. Cunningham.

                  Huck has fought 4 consecutive opponents who are tough guys with very little finesse or skill. I highly doubt that beating up on them has really given him the key to beating someone as versatile as Cunningham.

                  Unless Cunningham were to become mandatory challenger I don't see the fight happening. I think Huck was hoping Herbie Hide would win the silly Prizefighter tournament so that he could justify defending against him next.

                      He is better off at CW, but it takes awhile to get used to a new weight.

                      Ideally, Brian should have fought a couple of journeymen before going for a world title shot.
