CAMPEONATO MUNDIAL CRUCERO DE LA FIB

 

El estadounidense Steve Cunningham sacó fuerzas de flaquezas y con un impresionante cierre, noqueó en el round 12 al alemán Marco Huck para defender su corona crucero de la Federación Internacional de Boxeo (FIB), esta noche en el Seidensticker Halle, en Bielefeld, Alemania, en una cartelera que aún está pendiente el duelo de José Alfaro contra Prawet Singwancha, por la vacante corona ligero de la AMB.

 

Cunningham se metió en muchos problemas al inicio de la pelea frente a un retador alemán que salió como una tromba en el arranque de la pelea. Incluso, llegó a estar atrás en buena parte de la pelea, porque Huck lució siempre combativo, no cedió terreno y lucía motivado con el respaldo de los aficionados alemanes.

 

No hubo caída oficial en la pelea. Pero ambos peleadores se fueron varias veces a la lona por empujones y resbalones. Huck parecía incluso que podría arrebatar la corona al estadounidense, pero Cunningham lo cazó en el último asalto, sintió que lo trabó y se fue encima con mucha agresividad, dejando a Huck a merced de su golpeo, hasta que el árbitro Marlon Wright decidió suspender la pelea por el salvaje castigo al que estaba siendo sometido.

 

La esquina de Huck tiró la toalla ante tanto castigo, pero no había necesidad. El árbitro Wright decretó el triunfo del estadounidense a los 1:56 minutos del round 12. De esta manera, Cunningham (21-1, 11 nocauts) realizó la segunda defensa de la corona crucero de la FIB que ganó en noviembre del año pasado ante Krzysztof Wlodarczyk. En cambio, Huck (19-1) perdió su invicto.
