Former cruiserweight world champion Marco Huck (43-5-1, 28 KOs), now competing at heavyweight, scored a ten round unanimous decision over Evgenios Lazaridis (19-6, 13 KOs) on Saturday night at the Estrel Convention Center in Berlin, Germany. In his first fight in four years, the 39-year-old Huck outworked the 6’6 Lazaridis in workmanlike fashion. Scores were 97-93 3x.
In a clash between unbeaten cruiserweights, Tahir Kahrovic (22-0, 14 KOs) scored a ten round unanimous decision over Miljan Djordjevic (16-1, 8 KOs) in a clash for the WBO Euro belt. Scores were 99-91, 97-93, 100-90.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. I’d LOVE to see Huck absolutely just decapitate Jake Paul.
That would be a nice treat. Packing on weight won’t make Jake a heavyweight. At 39, Huck has more than enough in the tank with muscle memory alone to make Jake look like a Pez dispenser.
Although, I do give Jake his due props. He has put plenty of butts in seats in the name of boxing. Without being champ or a serious threat to being one, he has easily put sold just about every champ in any division(PPV).
Marco Huck was once something he is no longer.
There’s nothing I’m looking forward to about Marco Huck’s comeback. His four years out of the ring should have been forever.
Marco is done! I only witnessed a good right hand to the body doesn’t have an effective jab which is a basic punch, no hooks, upper cuts or overhand shots but I did witness him throw a few dirty elbows and his balance seem off as well which lead me to believe his best days are behind him.
I hope that Marco isn’t forcefully retired by boxing via a humbling knockout. Huck fought once per year between 2017 and 2020. Then took 4 years off. He better feed off of tomato cans while making good paydays since the heavyweight division is a different ballgame. If Usyk stopped him at cruiser, any top 20 will knock him into the 3rd row and pushing 40 without being active is not helping.
