If huck wins imma heavyweight

You don't have the chin Steve

Huck did himself proud -- Povetkin came very close to hitting the mat a couple of times.

Povetkin's continual ducking low was a disgrace. Huck will beat him in a rematch. Chisora would stop Povetkin.

I honestly think Huckic hits harder than Chisora. Chisora is not a big puncher.

Lebedev 117
Huck 111

I thought of the Lebedev fight when the scores came here. I had Lebedev winning more convincingly than Huck today. Lebedev is a bad dude.

Povetkin would not be able to deal with Chisora's pressure. He'd collapse from exhaustion and get knocked out.

Huck surprised you, eh?

Did you end up betting?

Yeah, although it was more Povetkin surprising me by gassing after half of the fight.

Yeah, I did bet on Povetkin but I'm certainly not gonna do it again.

Both can be true.

Measured against the 90s, arguably the second best decade Heavyweight ever saw, is a rough measure. I think the talent level is sub-80s right now though too. Those guys underachieved. This is as good as most of these cats get. The Klits are a big exception.

That said, this was a fun fight. As was the case last week, dominance or parity below is fine. Entertain me and all is well.

Keep Pabon off my screen and that's better.

I find negative comparisons of an exciting heavyweight fight in the present to something from the distant past beside the point. We're alive now and watching fights now. And that fight was exciting. That's what matters.

I'm glad EPIX is getting some **** for their buck with these fights.

And yes, Pabon should have been in Povetkin's corner. He kept giving Huck warnings but didn't say a word about the Russian's disgraceful and continual bending low.

Ya with that conditioning it wouldn't be good. He used to throw 80 plus punches per round and go 12 no problem. A in shape Povetkin vs Chisora i would love to see. Apparently Chisora vs Adamek is being discussed too which would be great. Chisora has pressure but not a big enough punch to seriously hurt Adamek probably.

Well, cong****. You got a bit lucky with that decision, IMO.

Unless Povetkin gets in much better shape, he's gonna get taken down by Chisora or someone else.

Me too lol.

When you lived through the better of times, hard to forget them. It's like Jr. Feather now. I might get some good fights, but I can't forget what it was from 96-03ish. It's a way of waiting out loud for good to be great again.

It'll come at Heavy. For now, like I said, the entertainment has picked up in the last year. I'm cool with that.

Chisora had some balls going back to Germany for this fight.

Chisora vs either Povetkin or Adamek would be excellent stuff.

And Huck will likely be in the picture now as well.
