Comments Thread For: Michael Hunter: "This is My Big Shot" vs. Alexander Povetkin

[Scopedog]

Povetkin's struggled to impress in his recent run of fights and looks like a man in the twilight years of his career. When he fought Hughie Fury I thought Fury was dreadful and was the deserved loser but Povetkin didn't exactly put on an award-winning performance himself. I expect Hunter to win, though it's true that Povetkin is still probably quite a bit better than his recent run of opponents and this is his toughest test at the weight. Povetkin is still a hard puncher who's sharp on his good days. It's probably the fight on the undercard I'm looking forward to the most.

Hunter was probably the most difficult fight for Usyk and he is doing very well at hw level.

Povetkin is experienced, but a bit on the old side now so I guess Hunter will dominate and win by UD.

Povetkin by Brutal KO hopefully.

Big name even now for Hunter. Would be the biggest name on his resume. A guy who has never really left the top 10 of the division, held a belt and his whole career and has only been beaten by 2 champions. A guy Wilder ran the hell away from and never tried to fight or call out his whole career. Yes, another one.

Underrated fight..

WIth a Dominant win over Povetkin, I beleive Hunter would be ready for a Usyk rematch at HW

This is a good fight I'm really looking forward to seeing the style match up and how it plays out.

This could be the best fight that night. Hunter can make some problems, but I think Povetkin wins.

It's too soon.

He needs to develop a bit more before boxing verse the Gold medalist Usyk

Hunter has no chance. Povetkin will KO him. Uysk won't want anything to do with Povetkin

People think just because Povetkin looked ordinary against Hughie Fury, that he is on the slide. But Hughie Fury is one of those awkward fighters who makes everyone look bad. Hunter made a mistake taking this fight.
