Technical Overview

Cunningham fights with a bossy, straight-backed European style. Everything is upright, sharp, and commanding. But there’s a twist—he doesn’t just stand tall, he sits in his stance when it matters. There’s something almost Japanese about how he carries his weight: low hips, grounded feet, full-body commitment behind every move. His sense of gravity is real. Not loose—just settled, like someone who’s done the reps a thousand times and knows exactly where his power lives.

His hips speak before his hands. There’s intention in every shift. He doesn’t just throw punches—he loads them from the ground up. You can see it in the way his core rotates, in the way his knees dip and fire. That’s not just experience—that’s myelin.

Myelin is the insulation around nerves, built through deep repetition. The more a move is repeated, the thicker the myelin gets. That’s how muscle memory becomes second nature. And Cunningham’s style is soaked in it. The kind of timing, the subtle pivots, the ability to throw in tight windows without rushing—it’s all myelin work. It’s neurological wiring, trained from thousands of drills until it’s not just movement—it’s a reaction.

He’s not wild. He’s not raw. Cunningham’s style isn’t for show. It’s for winning rounds. He’ll stab you with the jab, then shuffle into a tricky southpaw angle and dig the body. Everything’s layered. He makes simple things work because he’s mastered how to feel balance, not just see it.
