Comments Thread For: Huck-Fragomeni: Wegner Expects a Tough Battle

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

On April 2, Marco “Captain” Huck (31-1, 23 KOs) will return to the place where he celebrated the biggest success of his career. The 26-year-old will defend his WBO Cruiserweight Title at the Gerry Weber Stadium in Halle, Germany, taking on former WBC champion Giacobbe Fragomeni (27-3-1, 11 KOs). Back in August 2009, Huck wore down then-champion Victor Emilio Ramirez to clinch the WBO title. “I look forward to returning to Halle,” said Huck. “I have very special memories of the Gerry Weber Stadium. I will never forget the day I became world champion. The crowd was fantastic and I will put on another spectacular show on April 2.”

Nice defense, against a shot 41 year old. How on earth is WBO accepting this title defense?

Absolutely classic Huck defense. Fragomeni is 41, got slaughtered by Wlodarczyk last year and hasn't won a meaningful fight in at least a couple of years. What, is Swamp Donkey not available for a rematch?

I actually like Huck a bit, but I thought he was a bit classless after the Lebedev fight to talk like he'd actually won. My rule would be, when you get a gift from the judges, STFU afterward.

Seems like his career is going to be a string of soft defenses with the occasional difficult test. It's better than Sturm, Zbik or Erdei, but fights like this are still disappointing.

The only way to take away Huck's belt is knock him into the hospital, there is no way to get a decision against him... Lebedev should have the belt, I think he won quite comfortably...
