Update

Rafael's blog.

• The biggest news came out of Germany after Marco Huck retained his cruiserweight belt with a fifth-round beatdown of Matt Godfrey on Saturday. The victory in hand, Huck promoter Wilfried Sauerland reiterated his intention to put on a Super Six-style tournament in the cruiserweight division. He said he hoped to finalize the plans at the end of September or early October.

Sauerland is very familiar with the format because he promotes two participants in Showtime's ongoing super middleweight tournament, Mikkel Kessler and Arthur Abraham. His son, Kalle Sauerland, was an integral part of putting it together.

"We are in ongoing negotiations and hope to have a very strong line-up," Wilfried Sauerland said. "The plan is for Marco to kick off the tournament with a unification in December."

Said Huck: "Now I am ready to unify the titles. I can't wait for the Super Six tournament to start." No word yet on who officially will be part of the tournament, but titlist Steve Cunningham, whom Sauerland promotes and who handed Huck his lone professional loss, a 12th-round knockout in 2007, is a lock. He recently signed with Sauerland and the carrot of a big money rematch with Huck was one of the main reasons.

A source from Sauerland Event told me they are talking also talking to titleholder Krzysztof Wlodarczyk, interim titlist Steve Herelius and Denis Lebedev, who looms as Huck's mandatory challenger. If contender Yoan Pablo Hernandez wins his next bout, he also might be included, the source told me. Sauerland would like to get titleholder Guillermo Jones, who has been chronically inactive, involved, but he has a long-overdue mandatory defense finally scheduled on Oct. 2 and his participation in seems highly unlikely.

I hope Sauerland pulls off the tournament, although I'd be surprised if Showtime supported it like it has the super middleweights. Finding an American television partner could be daunting if Showtime isn't interested. There's no chance HBO will get involved. It's obviously a European-based tournament with too many fighters unknown to a U.S. audience.

Cunningham will win this, no matter who they put there. Huck would be a tough fight though.

**medium-deek** · 08-23-2010, 02:59 PM

Enzo must be in or I aint having any of it. Period.

These Super Six tournaments are getting popular. Great for boxing.
