Comments Thread For: Hernandez-Cunningham: Another Great Case For Cruisers

[CubanGuyNYC]

Cunningham- if he stays on his feet he wins

Jr- rooting for Rubio but I don't see it happening (won't win a dec, we all know why) unless he can sit that 180+ down and keep him there tall order for the smaller man

Donaire- will win, more interesting part is how good will he look at the weight where Nishioka and Rigo are waiting

I'm pulling for Hernandez (surprise, surprise). USS has an even chance, though; the fight is a toss up. Yoan started the first fight well; Steve came on strong. It'll be interesting to see who wants it more, who has the greater will. I hate to say it, but Cunningham might get the edge in those departments.

Rubio has good upset chances. Chavez is fighting a very live dog here. If Junior wins, he must get credit.

Donaire wins. Nonito will cruise through 122 until he decides to meet either Nishioka or Rigondeaux. WV2's career is already getting rocky. But he shouldn't be trashed; he lost against a very good Arce and will lose to a P4P star.

First fight was fun while it lasted but the anti-climatic and controversial ending left a bad taste in my mouth. Hernandez (and Ulli Wegner) packed it in after Cunningham started to get into his flow and his vicious body attack. If I remember correctly, the fight was stopped due to a cut caused by head butt - however, the cut was very much under control and actually not even bleeding at the time of the stoppage.

In any event, hopefully the rematch lives up the expectations and Cunningham presses for the KO again.
