Mofo2 Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Berlin – German cruiserweight Marco Huck has said he wants to step up to the heavyweight division to face Wladimir Klitschko, who holds four of the five world title belts. Huck, 29, defended his WBO cruiserweight crown with a sixth round knock-out of 43-year-old challenger Firat Arslan in Stuttgart on Saturday. Huck wants another shot at a heavyweight title and his coach Ulli Wegner has said his fighter will be a champion in the division by the end of the year. “My desire is to fight against the best in the world. And I hope the chance to fight Klitschko will now finally come,†Huck told SID, an AFP subsidiary. Huck has already had a shot at a world title – when he lost on points to Russia's Alexander Povetkin for the WBA heavyweight belt in February 2012. “When I'm in top shape, no one in the world can beat me,†insisted Huck. “Neither at cruiserweight nor at heavyweight. I can only beat myelf.†Huck tried to convince the doubters that he was capable of taking on the 37-year-old Klitschko. “Why not?,†he asked. “The last 30 no-names he has already fought all lost against him, but I have already fought battles that people want to see. “They want to see a Huck show because they know that at any minute, anything can happen.†Huck's performance in Stuttgart backed up his words as he took control of the fight from the fourth round, then unleashed a devastating volley of punches in the sixth. He put Arslan on the canvas twice before the referee stepped in to stop the bout with more than a minute of the round left. Beating Arslan, who suffered the eighth defeat of his career, and dethroning Klitschko are two entirely different propositions and Huck will need the performance of his career. Huck will be giving away four inches in height (10 cms) and having weighed in at 199.5 pounds (90 kgs) for Saturday's fight, he would need to bulk up. Klitschko weighed in at 241 pounds (109kgs) for his unanimous points win over Povetkin in Moscow last Octber. But the Huck camp are certainly talking themselves up. “Marco will be a heavyweight champion by January 1 2015,†said Huck's trainer Wegner. “But we are not a one-man operation and have it all cleared with our management.†With Vitali Klitschko's WBC heavyweight title now vacant after his move into Ukrainian politics, Huck could well challenge for the title. And Wladimir Klitschko, who holds the WBA, WBO, IBF and IBO belts, has vowed to keep the WBC title in the family. – Sapa-AFP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Slayer Posted January 26, 2014 Members Share Posted January 26, 2014 I think he can and would give Wladimir the best fight out of all of his opponents since he again became champion. Can he win? I'm a little sceptical of that, since Wladimir still has that big height and reach advantage and knowing how he fought against Povetkin, Huck is no stronger or bigger than Pov, so I don't see him being able to withstand his dirty tactics any better. Only thing is, he can fight dirty when needed himself, as everybody knows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mofo2 Posted January 27, 2014 Author Share Posted January 27, 2014 The first result was fucked up no doubt, but he put on a good performance this time around! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the second half he did too little and would fight in spurts only. His style is pretty crap too. He just landed the most eyecatching shots and he held his guard high whole evening and he's shorter, so it wasn't exactly easy for Marco to land a lot clean shots.

Members Slayer Posted January 30, 2014 Members Share Posted January 30, 2014 he was much much more effective than Huck in that fight, Huck looked like garbage. Arslan landed all the quality shots, did more damage & made Huck look useless. What more does a guy have to do to win? Oh wait that's right , Huck is Sebran, so you have to defend him no matter how bad he looks. I forgot. Wtf is that? Didn't know Huck was from some alien world. A planet of Zebra-men?
