Marco Huck vs. Firat Arslan - chat thread

[Mars_ax]

Huck is tough but fighting Wlad would be insane especially as he lost his last heavyweight fight.

Huck would need to close the distance like nearly every boxer who fought Wlad and Wlad is pretty good at keeping the distance and if not Huck will be hugged to death...Anyway the Huck Povetkin fight should have been a draw Huck had Povetkin nearly out of the fight two or three times...

I thought Huck actually won the fight, Povetkin looked like shit, against a fucking crusierweight.
Wlad however, would make short work of Huck, who's just too small to cause Wlad any problems.

I read the winner of this has to fight Ola Afolabi, I hope Huck gets through this and Ola fights Huck again. Their last fight was amazing, cant wait for the trilogy if it comes through.

Anybody watching the Huck card?

The stream I have is showing Woge vs Demchenko. Is that live or delayed?

[TigerFan]

Woge stopped Demchenko in 5.

Gerber vs "The Ding-A-Ling Man" is next.

[TigerFan]

Wilson came in at a career high weight of 242.5

[TigerFan]

Oh shit

Gerber almost out on his feet at the end of the first.

[Mars_ax]

Sorry @TigerFan, i've been doing yard work, i'll try to show up for the main.

[JimmyJones]

Looks like Huck doesn't have much of an inside game.

[JimmyJones]

Good round for Huck. Not sure if he has the endurance to keep that up though

[Mars_ax]

Arslan still doing well, but really not being all that effective with his punches.

[JimmyJones]

Agreed although a lot of Hucks shots are being blocked.

[Mars_ax]

Officially Huck wins a UD by 115-113 x2 and 117-111.

I thought 115-113 for Huck sounded about right, close fight though, Arslan wasn't connecting enough to take Huck's title.

[JimmyJones]

Good fight. Huck by a few I think. Close though.

[Tam Seddon]

I thought Arslan was unlucky I thought it was a good fight, could have gone either way.
