The fearsome Mairis Briedis (9-0, 9 KO's) finally got a shot at an interim belt against the old vet - Steve Cunningham (11-3-1, 7 KO's).

In the 1st 2 rounds Mairis appeared too big & strong swelling both of Steve's eyes but from that point forward, Steve gave as good as he got - and then some!

In the end it went to the cards: 142-140 Mairis, 144-139 Steve & 142-142 - a draw.

Steve dominated PL 332 (37%) to 233 (22%).

Now all the CW champs have an excuse not to fight Mairis since he couldn't even beat the old vet Cunningham.
