    When Monsour dropped him hard twice I thought that was it. Can't believe he came back.

      Cunningham typically fights hard. A soft opponent isn't a terrible thing for him.

      Besides, at this point we know what Cunningham is and what he can be. Not like we're waiting for him to make a jump up in competition.

        He doesn't fight for himself anymore, most of his money goes to pay for his daughters health care bill.

        Duva said she lost a lot of money in his last card, which was an amazing card, so she can't afford top fighters.

          But if fought and beat a better opponent, he would position himself for a bigger fight and payday after that.

          Main Events is losing their NBC contract, so the only option for them is bigger fights on HBO or an occasional fight on ESPN. Someone who not a star like Cunningham or Glazkov will have to fight on Kovalev's HBO under-cards (or possibly on ESPN, but many small promoters are trying for those dates).

            Let's be real, he doesn't even belong at HW. All the top HWs beat him easily, there really isn't much for him without getting dismatled.

              How can you know this mans opponent when this is a normal heavyweight fight?

                Maybe he saw a picture of Cunningham's opponent and thought he looked soft. Not a difficult thing to judge

                  I wonder who the referee will be?

                  In Cunningham's last fight against Amir Mansour, the referee Steve Smoger gave two long counts to help Cunningham survive (one was about 20 seconds).

                  Mansour was robbed of a KO win.

                    Some decent boxing filler till HBO starts? sounds good to me.
