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

[UglyPug]

Bottom line: Very good fight that I thoroughly enjoyed from start to finish. . .

Exhilarating fight.

Though I have to say I honestly hate Marco Huck

He fights like a brute. I personally see little quality to his style whatsoever and he lunges at you at every clinch

Povetkin took some big shots and got fatigued but I would still give the fight to him.

Huck's eye was trickling blood at the end. Povetkin looked like a model.

Both fighters have two incredible chins though ! ! ! !

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

Have you watched his World Series of Boxing matches?, they are on youtube, and they use a Pro System to judge the rounds,

Im pretty sure Medzhidov is just a 20 years old novice, who has a 25 pounds weight advantage on him, like most of all the other HW'S at the WSB

Yes, entertaining fight with some good moments for both boxers. No robbery, a close fight that could've gone either way.

povetkin did pretty well for a guy who was staring at the canvas for 90% of the fight.

No robbery though. It was close but entertaining.

There were times where he looked like he was trying to put his own head up his arse.

It was putrid, more befitting a Katie Morgan special on HBO than a fight ring. If you're too out of shape to stand up, too bad.

It wasn't a robbery. There were close rounds. It was just poorly officiated to the point of distraction.




That's what made close rounds. There were some rounds where Huck got stuck in Wegner-guard and let Povetkin work, even late when Sasha was dead tired. Povetkin also took some huge shots. He fought his ass off when his head was above jock level. I liked the fight. Wrong guy won IMO but could have gone to either.

Povetkin is likely to be more allergic to the Klits now. I'll take a rematch.

Yea it's funny how all of Wegner's fighters lock up like that.

I thought the right guy won. I really don't think Huck did anywhere near as much damage as a lot of people do.

Povetkin would win 2:30 of the round and Huck would land a chopping right, miss another one, and Povetkin cause of his ducking would flop around the ring and Huck would get credit for making some huge impact.

Really close fight, but I just preferred Povetkin's consistency.

The real winner is EPIX, with two compelling heavyweight fights in a row.

Now if Wlad can KO Mormeck in highlight reel fashion, it will be a triple play.
