Comments Thread For: Huck Dismisses Arslan's Uncrowned Champion Claims

[JakeNDaBox]

Some 15 months after their first fight, Marco Huck and Firat Arslan are chomping at the bit heading into their cruiserweight title fight rematch, which takes place January 25 in Stuttgart, Germany.

Huck, a long-reigning cruiserweight titlist, was considered fortunate to escape with his crown still intact during their Nov. 2012 clash, which saw the then-42 year old Arslan deliver a surprisingly strong performance only to come up short on the cards.

“I am feeling like the world champion since my first fight against Marco, which I actually won,” Arslan stated during media day last week in Germany. “Now it is time to collect my belt from him.”

Ever the competitor, Huck didn’t take too kindly to the suggestion.

“Dream on, Firat - I am the champion,” Huck (36-2-1, 25KO) bluntly states. “But as I am not heartless, I did make a picture of my belt and signed it with a personal dedication for you."

I thought Arslan won the first fight. With that being said is there ANY testing in Germany for Arslan?? I mean, come on the guy is 43 and looks like a legit figure competitor. People DO not look like that at 43 without Serious Help ( Barry Bonds, A rod, Mark McGuire ) it's fascinating to me how there is not a better form of testing in Germany.

Arslan beat up huck for the first half of their fight. I think he should have won.

Well Huck you should be unifying titles after this fite. You really well can i do believe Huck is a GOOD fiter, but so are Pablo and the Krystof fellow and will make for some amazing matchups. Cruiser needs its own tourney as its long overdue

Yes. Not only is there random testing, but it's an area where - despite claims of those in the U.S. to have reinvented the wheel - Germany, and Sauerland fighters in particular, have been far ahead of the curve for years.

Marco Huck should have a record 32-5 (Cunningham, Ramirez, Afolabi, Lebedev, ARSLAN)
