Comments Thread For: Hunter vs. Povetkin Clash In Works For Ruiz-Joshua II Undercard

Great fight! The undercard is stacked!

Real nice fight! Hunter's settled nicely into the new weight and is looking to make waves despite being slightly undersized... Sasha may be a bit long in the tooth but is still among the best in the division and a legit threat to anyone. Hunter takes this as I expect him to and he's placing himself squarely in position for a title shot.

Breath of fresh air this kid... didn't really pick him up till the Usyk fight, but since then he's grown into one of my favourite dudes, best of luck to him.

This is a real pick-em fight. I wasn't sure Hunter would transition well to HW, I thought he might be another Mike Perez. Not so much the Ustinov fight, that man was an ancient, plodding giant and little more. The Bakolie and Kuzmin fights are the ones that sold me on Hunter's ability to stand with real HW's. He may not be a 1 punch KO artist, but his technical ability and hand speed are enough to cause anyone problems - and it's the punch you don't see that sits you on your ass, as he has proved so far.

I like both fighters, but IMO Hunter won't get past Povetkin. He has too much left in the tank for Hunter to get a W against.

And BTW, Hearn needs to stop this biz of having fight cards in Saudi. That's just b.s. Never go somewhere that there are so many human rights violations. Hearn just ignores that... all for his insane greed.

You could use that argument to ban him from setting up fights in the USA.

This is a great fight as you all have said. Hunter gives any top 10 hw issues. He's got footwork, handspeed, underrated power, n a great chin. Hunter by late stoppage.

Imagine in two years from now usyk n hunter are the top 2 heavyweights, certainly possible.

Just heard Hearn say it could be Hunter vs Price instead

Come on Povetkin....

Povetkin by KO in 6

[Squ□redCircle34]

Hunter should easily win as long Povetkin is tested through VADA regularly!

His skills, speed, footwork, and volume should be too much for the old and slow Russian!

I think this will be a great fight. But I still think Povetkin is a bit above Hunter. Really like Hunter though and hope he wins.I enjoy watching him fight and he is fearless.

[Roberto Vasquez]

Close fight but Povetkin wins by KO. I think the Fury fight will make Hunter underestimate Povetkin too.
