My "round per round" for Povetkin vs Huck (fight starts in a few minutes)

It's true the referee seemed to be on Huck's case a little bit more but that's what happens to you when you spend your entire career being a dirty fighter who rabbit punches the piss out of every man you step into the ring with. I am sure Povetkin's team expressed this pre-fight and the referee was clearly looking for it. I still thought Huck won this fight 7 rounds to 5, though 6 to 6 is just as likely. All things being equal Huck certainly landed the harder punches and hurt his opponent more. Povetkin is a spoiled brat who doesn't like to train hard and that's why he parted with Atlas. We saw the result of Povetkin getting his way with his training as he gassed after 5 rounds. If Povetkin were worth half a sh*t he would have dominated a fighter that Cruiersweight Lebedev actually handled quite easily (he was robbed blatantly).

This is my card, let me know you think. Povetkin | Huck 1. 9 | 10 2. 10 | 9 3. 10 | 9 4. 9 | 10 5. 9 | 10 6. 10 | 9 7. 9 | 10 8. 10 | 9 9. 9 | 10 10. 9 | 10 11. 10 | 9 12. 9 | 10 5-7 Huck. A few rounds were really close though so 2-3 rounds could have gone either way. hi, my scorecard: Huck: 1, 4, 5, 7, 9, 10, 12. Pove: 2, 3, 6, 8, 11. 115:113 Huck. the 114:114 was the best card, 8-4 for Pove is just too wide, sorry, but like Huck said Sauerland won the fight. Either Klit or Chisora will beat Povetkin. I see what you did there. lulz :D

alexander povetkin the shoe inspector! even allan green was like damn homie stop looking at his shoes!

Guys getting rabbitted when they bend over like that at the waist is pretty normal in boxing. It rarely leads to a DQ, nor should it. True ... even the commentators stated this ... it was obvious .... you duck while a guy is getting ready to throw, its your own fault that the punch ends up hitting you in the back of the head .... but this ref was too busy with warning Huck .... I'm looking at this one objectively .... last fight Povetkin was fighting, I was pulling for him to win ... that round where Atlas was trying to get Povetkin going was classic. This one Povetkin gave it his all but he gassed out .... Huck thru the more effective bombs ... close fight.

I'll watch it again later and score it....but I felt like Huck got over slightly and a draw would've been acceptable....Povetkin kept bending down and doing most of the holding...Huck was hurting him when he touched him...a real good scrap...very competetive...they should do it again....those 2 wide ass cards were payed for by somebody who can do that sort of thing....no way Povetkin ran a 8-4 card off tonight..nah!!...smh

Yes there were times where Huck used his body to push Povetkin down but even on some of those times, Povetkin was already going down on his own. Majority of the time, Povetkin ducked on his own but the point was that the ref was always siding with Povetkin .... and what made things even worse, the ref was always in the middle of this one to the point that it got annoying!!! The ref was pulling a sweat (see his shirt!) Guys getting rabbitted when they bend over like that at the waist is pretty normal in boxing. It rarely leads to a DQ, nor should it.

Well he can thank Teddy for that brilliant addition. Seriously though the majority of times Huck shoved his head down with his forearm then bombs with his right hand. I have eyes. At the end of the fight yes he was doing it on his own but most the fight Huck shoves it down with his forearms. First 6 rounds he did that 5+ times each round. He should have been disqualified.

I saw Povetkin bend down while rights were already on their way as well. There was a little of both. I think Povetkin caused most of it by leaning waist and sub-waist in the first place. He wasn't pulling his head down from chest level. He was pushing when it was already there. Like I said, what was he supposed to do? Just let Povetkin jock sniff and hug him at waist level. Huck fought like a pro. Love to see it again. I agree Povetkin was at fault more in the second half of the fight, you're still not accurate about Huck's blatant fouling though. Calling him a pro? Ya G-Man would be proud of him...........Guy is dangerous and a disgrace.

sasha got murked huck is the man!

You're so off base it isn't even funny. From the clinch he would force his head down, hold it down with his forearm, then throw a hard rights like he always does. Watch the first 6 rounds and try telling me that again. Huck does it in most his fights. I saw Povetkin bend down while rights were already on their way as well. There was a little of both.

Povetkin was bending under the arm. What's Huck supposed to do? Step back and wait for Povetkin to stand up or just let him fall over? I'd have laughed at the latter actually. Old school refs would have told him to buck up and quit laying his head out. There's nothing wrong with making your opponent sorry for a sorry tactic. Pabon should have warned both instead of going one way. As the fight wore on, Huck mostly just leaned and waited for the break to avoid a deduction and got better with the 'cut tries. I saw little wrong with what Huck did. It's a cheap way to try and draw fouls. Ruiz used to do it and whine all the time. It's a fight. You're so off base it isn't even funny.

Bending over below your opponent's waist and diving in below his arms all night will do that. Povetkin caused 90% of the back of the head action. Learning to slip a shot without mashing face to cup all night is a good idea. Well he can thank Teddy for that brilliant addition. Seriously though the majority of times Huck shoved his head down with his forearm then bombs with his right hand. I was watching this one on EPIX and all 3 commentators agreed with me including Freddie Roach. It was obvious. You tell me that you didn't see Povetkin ducking all night long? It took time but Huck finally realized that he should be uppercutting when Povetkin did that. Still the ref was way too involved in that fight ... and it helped the tired and ducking Povetkin. I have eyes. At the end of the fight yes he was doing it on his own but most the fight Huck shoves it down with his forearms. First 6 rounds he did that 5+ times each round. He should have been disqualified.

Are you kidding? For most the fight Huck was holding his head down with his left and throwing massive rights to the back of Povetkin's head and neck. He should have had points deducted and disqualified multiple times over. Towards the end of the fight when Sasha was very tired he was doing it on his own but that's besides the point. In the clinches early on he would throw a right to the body while headbutting. Getting blasted in the back of the head and neck 40 times may have had something to do with it.

great minds think alike Yessssir :luvbed:

It was a good HW fight. Povetkin had some help from that ref. Povetkin was ducking and the ref was blaming Huck every time!!! Are you kidding?

In the clinches early on he would throw a right to the body while headbutting. I scored 7:5 for Huck. I think Povetkin's ducking (which Teddy developed into him) made him look very bad. Had he not ducked the impressions might have been quite different. Povetkin used to have great stamina -- I wonder what happened to that. Getting blasted in the back of the head and neck 40 times may have had something to do with it.

I had 7-5 Huck but there was plenty of swing. Tactics and the ref stand out. Povetkin winning on the cards is the least of the problems in the ring there.
