When we talk about exciting lower divisions fighters it's hard to ignore Mr Exciting himself Denver Cuello. Cuello, a Filipino known as "The Excitement" combines all the traits love in their fighters. Aggression, heart, power a somewhat leaky defense that sees him taking shots whilst he attempts to behead his opponents on a very regular basis. He is, for all intents and purposes a fighter that everyone should enjoy watching when he's at his best. Unfortunately Cuello hasn't been at his best in recent years due to a relatively serious arm injury, an injury that almost certainly cost him a WBC world title when he fought Xiong Zhao Zhong. The injury that cost him against Zhong wasn't a totally new one, sadly it was an on-going issue that given him issues in several other fights, including this contest with Japan's Takashi Kunishige. Sadly as a one-armed fighter Cuello isn't as exciting as he is with 2 arms and like most fighters we him struggling here to hide a nasty injury and still continue to fight on in what as a brave performance against a former world title challenger. If, like us, you enjoy big punching smaller men then you will love Cuello, even if this isn't his best performance.
