Marco Huck a Heavy Favorite over “USS” Cunningham

The IBF Cruiserweight Champion is Surprisingly a 4-1 Underdog

Pizza shop owner and IBF Cruiserweight Champion Steve “USS” Cunningham will once again travel oversees and defend his title.  This time however, “USS” Cunningham is a heavy underdog as he is taking on the hard hitting Serbian, Marco Huck.  Huck has a professional record of 19-0 with 14 knockouts and his most recent win was a majority decision over the previously unbeaten Vadim Tokerev.  At 20-1 with 10 knockouts, Cunningham, who won the title by avenging a controversial split decision loss to Krzysztoff Wlodarczyck, also holds wins over Kelvin Davis and Guillermo Jones.  After traveling to Poland for both Wlodarczyck fights, this time Cunningham will be taking on Huck in Germany which is now the challengers’ full time country of residence.  As Cunningham is the champion and their records equally impressive with solid named opponents, Huck being a 4-1 favorite perhaps seems a little much.  The fight will be televised in select European countires on ARD on December 29th.  Source: BetUs.com
