Kevin Cunningham Picks Canelo By Decision

Kevin Cunningham is a boxing lifer and that’s why he was in Philly Friday night, working the show at 2300 Arena, the one put together by Kings Promotions, which ran on Facebook Fightnight Live.

Cunningham cornered welter David Grayton, who shrugged off three knockdowns at the hands of Terell Williams, in separate rounds, and came back to put Williams into late danger. The surge faded out, but Grayton won props from Cunningham for his heart. From me too, as I called the action, with Marc Abrams on color, for FBFNL.

“It was a hard fought 10 round fight against an undefeated opponent,” said Cunningham of the Grayton effort.

“DayDay” got caught early in the fight so it took him a few rounds to recover. I thought he finished strong winning rounds 7, 8 and 9 but it wasn’t enough.”

WATCH THE FIGHT HERE.

Next up for Cunningham, the ex St Louis cop, now living and running a fight camp in Florida, Montana Love September 29th and Erickson Lubin October 13th.

Oh, and while we got him, his prediction for Canelo v GGG?

“Canelo by decision,” Cunningham said.

The Brooklyn-based journalist Woods has covered the sport since then, for ESPN The Magazine, ESPN.com, ESPN New York, RING, and he was editor of TheSweetScience.com from 2007-2015. Woods is also an accomplished blow by blow and color man, having done work for Top Rank, DiBella Entertainment, EPIX, and for Facebook Fightnight Live since 2017. He now does work for PROBOX TV, the first truly global boxing network.
