International Boxing Federation cruiserweight champion Steve Cunningham (21-1, 11 KOs) turned back German-based challenger Marco Huck (19-1, 14 KOs), stopping him in the 12th round on Saturday night at the Seidensticker Halle, in Bielefeld, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany. After a strong first two rounds in which Huck, a power puncher, landed a number of hard shots to effectively win both rounds, he faded badly and was ultimately stopped by the 31 year-old Cunningham.
