2008 Gold medalist? Uhhhhh....

Just reading through the comments here it is obvious this fight needs to be signed. It is near half and half, just in this thread (slight edge in predictions to Hunter most likely). I am leaning Povetkin, but Hunter can outbox the old vet fairly easily if he is prepped and smart.

Get it signed. In my humble unimportant opinion, Povetkin gets another title shot within a year if he wins, Hunter moves into the top 10 and gets serious money if he does.

Povetkin is 40 years old and will be easily outboxed but can he catch Hunter? Good matchup!

Outboxed? You are out of your freaking mind. lol.

Povetkin is a gold medalist and plenty long champion. He has far more boxing IQ and has fought all the guys.

It is Hunter that will be getting outboxed.

What Hunter has is age.

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

I agree...

Give Hughie credit for having a crazy strong chin. Anyone else would already be on the canvas.

Povetkin generally fights Giants and looks amazing against normal sized guys. lol. Povetkin by KO.

That's why they fight. Povetkin will outbox Hunter? Reread this post after the fight!

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.

Yes, with trump many human rights have been stomped upon... but not (yet) as many as have been in Saudi Arabia.
