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

[JakeTheBoxer]

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.

A mistake, why? Povetkin is top 10 guy, you have to fight good guys to prove something.

That's true but I feel Hunter and his team thinks Povetkin is there for the taking. An easy way into the top 10. I mean a mistake in that way.

Respect to both fights, but I have to go with Povetkin on this one. Too much experience for the young gun. Hunter's going to eventually get a title shot... but IMO Alexander isn't ready to give up the ghost just yet. But this will be just as interesting a fight as the main event will be.

Totally agree. I like Hunter. I respect the crud out of Povetkin. I have zero feel on this fight. No idea who wins and I am fine with either. What an interesting tussle this will be.

Povetkin is definitely there for the taking. He's gotta be 40 by now.
Don't think Hunter can go too far though. He got outboxed by Usyk at CW, and doesn't have the power or the size to be legitimate at HW.

Povetkin is top 10 hw and I don`t think he loses against anybody under top 10.

It's too soon.

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

On the contrary Hunter has been fighting at Heavyweight and has been fighting top contenders with wins over Povetkin, Sergey kuzmin, Ustinov in the past year. Hunter already fought Usyk and went
the distance in a close decision.. Usyk only fought 1 time at HW against a cab driver that was on the couch for 3 years retired. With the dominant performance over Povetkin, Hunter will be more than ready for the rematch. It's the Ukrainian who still needs to prove himself against Real worthy contenders in the HW division

Lol Fury was on the back foot jogging the whole night, Povetkin is still a live dog but he will definitely take a loss against the fresher Hunter who is coming from Andy Ruiz jr.'s training camp.
After hunter gets the win show him some respect, and after he does get the win he will be ready to rematch Usyk, who didn't want any smoke from Povetkin.

The same Ruiz who lost to Parker? lets not get too caught up in the hype.

I will show Hunter respect if he gets the win. But if he does get the win - he will have to fight for it. This won't be an easy fight
