Cunningham of Philadelphia is excited about the prospects for his future.
I’m looking forward to working with Al, he’s a genius at what he does. I’ve been watching him for several years and seeing all that he accomplishes for his fighters but have always been on the outside looking in due to contractual obligations. It finally lined up to where we can work together and it’s going to great. I believe my best fights have yet to be seen,”Said Cunningham

Steve “USS” Cunningham klokkenspel in op controversiële beslissing in Glazkov strijd

Philadelphia (Maart 17, 2015)–In de nasleep van zijn IBF eliminatie bout deze afgelopen Zaterdag in het Bell Centre in Montreal, voormalige twee keer cruiserweight wereldkampioen en huidige zwaargewicht mededinger Steve “USS” Cunningham wants to state his case to what the boxing world saw, en dat is de verkeerde man had zijn hand opstak.
Het kijkerspubliek zag dat Cunningham controleerde de wedstrijd en uit landde Vyacheslav Glazkov in acht van de twaalf ronden met prikken zijn nagenoeg vlakke en Cunningham landing meer power shots op de melodie van 123-84.
In totaal, Cunningham out gooide Glazkov door 208 stoten en uit landde hem 180-144 over de twaalf ronde strijd.
“De getallen, de perceptie, de video, niemand van het ligt,” Said Cunningham.
“Kijk naar de statistieken. Kijk naar zijn gezicht. The man spit out his mouthpiece three times because he really had no answer for what I was doing to him. I was hurting him to the body. His corner even pleaded with him that he needed a knockout in the final round to beat me. Somehow two judges gave him eight rounds and another gave him seven. Why bother fighting if this stuff is going to happen? I outworked him, uit landde hem en sloegen hem alle kanten mogelijk. He was considered the puncher coming into the fight but as the fight progressed it was me walking him down trying to make him fight.
“Wanneer zal de fans moe van al die slechte beslissingen? What can the fighters do about that? It has to be the fans that pay the money. Look at my rematch with Tomasz Adamek and now this fight. Op dit moment, Ik moet een verplichte uitdager om te vechten voor de zwaargewicht kampioenschap van de wereld, maar als gevolg van deze vreselijke rechters, Ik moet mijn volgende zet na te denken.”
