Marco Huck-Mairis Briedis - WBC Cruiser Title/BoxNation/Sat.

The only notable fight of the weekend should be a cracker.

Briedis (21-0, 18 KOs) - a Latvian that's not a pot belly hod carrier - is a proper sparko merchant. The only geezer to take him 12 rounds is Ismail Abdoul, who is awkward/granite (back in the day Haye, Enzo Mac, Adamek among many others couldn't put a dent in him) - he's sent good heavyweights to kip. He boxes in a neat and tidy orthodox style behind a good, consistent jab.

Huck (40-3-1, 27 KOs) is only 32 - same age as Briedis - but been around at the top level since the boer war. He's never in a dull fight, is hard-as-nails with the crudest spurt-stop-spurt-breathe style ever, which is highly effective for him.

This can't fail to be a good punch-up. Up-and-downer? Spectacular KO? 12 rounds of action? It's all good.

The fresher Briedis (4/7) is a narrow-ish favourite. 13/10 KO, 3/1 PTS. Huck is 13/8 for the win, 6/1 KO, 3/1 PTS. 25/1 Draw. Fight to not go distance - Evens.

Breidis KO 13/10

The Huck is brilliant to watch and Briedis has an 86% KO ratio so fireworks for sure.

He's a bit of a Boxnation favourite is the Huck

These Germans really know how to spoil us fight fans with their massively stacked cards ;D

THE WBC WORLD CRUISERWEIGHT TITLE

On April 1st, Marco Huck faces dangerous Cruiserweight Mairis Briedis for the WBC World Title at the Westfalenhalle in Dortmund, Germany, live on BoxNation.

The governing body originally ordered this bout between their first and second-ranked fighters for the Interim Title, but now the biggest prize is on the line pitting an experienced, former World ruler against a heavy-handed operator.

Tony Bellew was the previous holder of the belt, but after his Heavyweight contest with David Haye it seems unlikely he'll return to the division and he has now been appointed 'Champion Emeritus'.

Huck (40-3-1, 27 KOs) was at the top of the division for seven years until he was stopped by Krzysztof Glowacki in August 2015, falling one fight short of ending the record of consecutive Cruiserweight Title defences set by Johnny Nelson.

In his last outing, the Serbian-born boxer outpointed European Champion Dmytro Kucher to propel himself back towards the upper end of the division, and land a fight with Briedis.

Briedis (21-0, 18 KOs) has demonstrated serious power by earning seven straight knockouts, including his win over Manuel Charr at Heavyweight where we gave up over thirty pounds in weight.

Fighting in Huck’s adopted home country will not faze Briedis, who in the last three years has competed on cards in Germany, Russia, USA and Great Britain.

The experienced Huck has the chance to hand his Latvian opponent the first professional defeat of his career, but Briedis will be aiming to prove he’s no April fool on April 1st.

Should Bellew return from his stint at Heavyweight, he will be in line to face this winner of this cracking Cruiserweight collision.

Marco Huck v Mairis Briedis

German undercards are always shocking. We've become so spoilt in this country that we moan about the undercard quality even though we get 4 hour shows/6-7 fights for every Hearn and Warren live card.

German fans seem very retrained and uptight when they watch boxing matches. The atmosphere sounds like as exciting as a library.

I can only see this being a good fight. Both guys styles would suggest that they will mesh well and give us a fun filled fight. I'm slightly siding with Breidis as Hicks chin may let him down again.

So who's watching the German girl Christina "you know you would" Hammer then?

Just switched it on, I'm guessing I've not missed anything so far then

She is fit!

Christina Hammer (above) has just finished she won by a landslide points decision in a bit of a boring fight.

Nothing really exciting so far so needs at least one decent undercard fight.

whats this geezer doing? I've not really been watching but I just looked up at the telly and saw some of the worst showboating that I have seen in a ring for a good long time

German showboating is as good as their humour, which is shit.

I have it on in the background don't really know what that is all about. Don't even know why I am waiting for Huck either, always thought his style was a bit like throwing sand in your own eyes.

Why has Huck and his opponent both been replaced at the last minute?

Yes You are right Breidis should make it a bit different but Whenever i see Huck it goes 12 rounds or is a bit ...meh

Just going to check this out now. I don't like Huck either, guess he's a polarizing type of fighter. He's in exciting fights in that they are usually ultra competitive and the guy is extremely tough and fit, really solid output for a big man, but his style always struck me as so labored and jerky. He's about as slick as sandpaper.

This'll be a belter of a fight Briedis can BANG ;)

Huck is coming out with some Eminem

Does Jimmy Jnr sleep in an Oxygen tube?
Never seems to age but does remind me of Geoffrey from rainbow in a weird kinda way

I think Huck lost that round

Forgot how dirty Huck fights sometimes.

Prescott is a neat boxer. Huck is getting ironed

Briedis wins the 2nd

Prescott keeps pumping that jab Huck can't set himself up for the spurt

I like the look of Briedis so far and have him winning both rounds, he looks a tidy fighter and is getting closer with the straight right every time he throws it, decent looking jab too.

Hucks just gonna make this ugly

Huck has done Jack shit so far

Hucks is flying in with his head

2-0 Breidis

Huck looks slow and ponderous and loses the 3rd

Yeah 3-0 to Maris Piper

There's a clash of heads/Cut on the way for someone soon i reckon

3 zip. Hicks timing seems off.

Bellew would have had to face Prescott (not as silly as he looks is Tony)

3rd was closer tho

Huck looks awful and shot, loses 4th

Huck needs to come out like he finished that round

4-0 Briedis
