Matt Godrey was a US Amateur standout, and as a pro had looked good but not great. Initially I was expecting him to lose, but to be competitive with Huck.
Huck performed very well, and totally dominated Godfrey, outclassing him and knocking him out.
I was impressed with Huck and I think its his best career-performance. Lets also not forget Huck was some decent wins over Victor Ramirez and Ola Afolabi.
Huck is a decent B+ level fighter, and because of his young age, he is always improving.
Dont forget that Huck was only about 22 when he fought Cunningham, Cunningham was 30.
22 is very young, and Huck has had a lot of time to improve since then. Huck has good power, good fighters instinct, good speed.
Matt Godfrey is no joke and Huck just beat the crap out of him.Comment

Why all the hate on Marco Huck? He's one of the most active titlists in boxing and seems to have that "killer instinct" that many boxers lack today. He's not fought the best of competition but he seems to be progressing in that direction with every win he gets under his belt. Since he fought Cunningham in late 2007 he's fought, and won, 11 fights to Cunningham's 3 fight (won 2, lost 1). That to me shows his dedication to the sport and should be admired...Comment

I dont think Huck would beat Cunningham in a rematch.
But it would probably go the distance now, and certainly be more competitibe. Huck was only like 22 when he fought Cunningham, and the truth is he needed another 5, even 10 fights under his experience before a fight like that. He wasnt ready for that fight and he has improved since then.
By the by, Cunningham seems to have deterioriated in recent years, and looked awful against Troy Ross and Tomasz Adamek.
Huck's wins over Afolabi (W 12), Ramirez (W 12), Godfrey (KO 5), and Tokarev (W 12) are all respectable. I think in another year or two I'd favour Huck over Cunningham.
Huck is a good fighter who is always improving because he's young!Comment

Not sure what's with the "destroyed" "exposed" bit about Huck in his fight with Cunningham. From what I remember, the fight was fairly competitive until a green Huck gassed in the 12th. He's still extremely rough around the edges, but his activity and aggressiveness is starting to make me a fan.Comment

This guy's far from rubbish...I dont think Huck would beat Cunningham in a rematch.
