Comments Thread For: HBO, Sauerland Event In Talks To Showcase Marco Huck

[Mitchell Kane]

A Huck-Lebedev rematch would be great.

This.

There's fights to be made with Huck at cruiserweight.

If SHO/GBP/Haymon are going continue trying to corner the market in certain divisions, then HBO should just keep looking for new markets/divisions...there isn't much of a SHO/GBP/Haymon influcne in the division right now which is a plus for HBO.

HBO can probably do solid ratings with Huck, if he's matched competitively.

Strange choice, I don't know.

Huck makes way too much money fighting in Germany to relocate or make all his fights stateside, but American fans seem to be disinterested in fighters whose bouts take place outside the country.

bleh. huck can hardly box.

desperation, thy name is talks with marco huck.

The point is boxing fans enjoy watching exciting fighters in entertaining fights and Huck is rarely in a boring one.

There don't need to any Americans in the division, just look at the success of Gennady Golovkin and Sergey Kovalev in their respective divisions.

No running, no hugging, just action.

I understand what you're saying and you do make good points. And I mean no disrespect, but you're not an American and you don't live in America. It doesn't matter how excited you get for Huck because you don't watch HBO. How excited am I for Huck? I have HBO. I don't care for Huck.

I imagine any HBO deal will see him showcased on the HBO2 channel.

Its a good move, casual need to see this guy he is an all action fighter, lousy defense a real gamesman tough as fawk makes for good tv fights.

There's also talks of HBO showing the upcoming WBA MW fight from Moscow between Dmitri Chudinov and Patrick Nielsen.

I think it's the WBA's interim or regular belt or something.

That's interesting, as it's on June 1st and HBO already has a packed boxing schedule on May 31st.

It would make some sense though, winner would be in position to fight Golovkin...HBO can presumably build that fight up a little bit by showing this one.

Exactly this. Perfectly put.

Huck is an iron chinned warrior, the more exposure he gets the better
