Official: Povetkin vs Huck & undercards RbR & discussion thread...

[Medved]

Height doesn't have anything to do with it, the fighters need talent just look at Clemente Russo, he's not even a real 5'11 and weights 204... he dominates all of the Amateur Super HW's

Russo is a "Amateur" fighter, like that other italian boxer who have been amateurs like 20 years just fighting in Olympics. I wonder if Italian government pays that much cash that they dont need to move up or do they just want to be Amateurs all their life?

When you are 30 years old I would expect you to beat 18-20 year olds..

and the Amateur judging is a joke that wouldnt work well in the Pro's

POvetkin so tired 15 min later that he can barely talk

The first hard shot after the bell was Povetkin. Huck countered it harder. Huck was as clean as could be when the dude was trying to get a good look at his shoelaces and sniff his jock all night.

Great fight nevertheless.

Huck got ****ED.

I had him up 117-113. I penalized Povetkin for continually ducking low, which the ref failed to warn him about. Povetkin was rocked around the ring for the second half of the fight, out on his feet. I can see it being scored closer, but not for Povetkin.

Great fight, poor decision.

glad somebody else feels the same way

you are a professional boxer you shouldnt be ducking out of the way of contact


that's cintronesque

Thought it was a close enough fight either way. . . No robbery here. DAMN what a CRACKER of a fight, though!

Yup, exactly this. Wouldn't have a problem with a draw or Huck winning but it wasn't a robbery.

[grape drink]

I'm shocked.

A "German" got robbed IN Germany.

Why would Atlas do that? pabon looked about as pro-Povetkin as could be.

i just know atlas has his hilarious tirades that have motivated his fighters in the past. i'm just curious how the fight goes if atlas was in for the full camp.

I thought Povetkin did much more consistent work. Huck had good moments, but people were giving Huck more credit for the impact of his punches than they deserved cause Povetkin ducking made him lose balance a lot.

I think those punch stats are way off, Povetkin clearly landed a lot more punches.

Yeah. He looked in bad shape.
