Comments Thread For: Tarver, Cunningham Battle To a Twelve Round Split Draw

[damian War]

scored it for tarver..but i guess cunningham gets credit for activity, he was getting picked apart.

[Kannabis Kid]

Glowacki stopped Huck, and Huck's chin is way stronger than Cunningham's. I don't like Cunningham's chances in that fight.

Lol Cunningham stopped Huck in Germany almost a decade ago so it wasn't first time Huck had been stopped it was bound to happen again he was pulling back too much and got caught at the end of a punch it's boxing it happens. He beat Povetkin to me but he also had some close calls with Lebedev and Afolabi and was mostly fighting sub par opposition in Germany. The only person to stop Cunningham was a 6'9 250+ pound Tyson Fury so I'd say Steve got the better chin of them both.

Glowacki is a good fighter but he's there to be hit as well. Cunningham would have trouble with Glowackis youth, southpaw stance, and decent power so I could see it playing out like the Yoan Pablo Hernandez fights but I'd still say it would be 50-50

Good fight between 2 tough vets....


Either one should be an ideal opponent for anthony Joshua in a step up fight

Theres a fine line between the lower weight heavyweights and cruiserweights. I agree he was a great cruiserweight, but the CW division is becoming packed with some real bad@sses. I wasn't surprised Huck got knocked out tonight. And Glowacki isn't anything special compared to what is coming/already here at CW. And I thought Huck beat Povetkin. I'll eat my words if I'm wrong. Eastern Europeans man. Maybe it's the economy. Lol

to say glowacki isnt special after wat u saw tonight is baffling..unless u mean mayweather type special..but no champ at Cruiser is that type of special
this man hit huck with straight lefts to the body repeatedly..got up from a huge shot to wobble his own man..survived a thumb in the eye from a landed punch...got up to win rounds imo after being knocked down...has a southpaw jab on orthos which is hard to do...and he finishe the show...he adjusted to huck pulling straigth back...this is his first title fight and he didnt just knock down the champ out of nowhere he was actually winning round on my card and looking fresh even after a knockdown

u have to understand huck is not the kinda fight u wanna face in your first title shot...he is a swtich..he can show boxing skill like he did tonight and huck can also motor himself to a win..to put a young fighter with little experience in there is ballsy and he took the title...THAT IS SPECIAL

I'm really surprised Cunningham didn't knock him out in 2-3 rounds

I guess he's fallen to pieces as well

Truly meaningless fight

[No Tomorrow]

Solid fight. I turned to my friend and predicted that would be the exact decision. Very close and pleasurable to watch.

If I had any pull in their careers I'd have USS fight Jennings and Tarver fight Thompson

[techdude69]

What happened to Tarvers KO prediction lol.

[Lou Cipher]

Nothing like a huge build up and then dudes can't out will each other for a decisive ending. Still sounds 50 times more exciting than a Klitchko turdfest

[El-blanco]

That was a bad fight. Zero drama.

You could be right, although I'd imagine Cunningham would have somewhat better power at CW. Not that that would save him if Glowacki was on his A game like he was tonight.
