Comments Thread For: Michael Hunter, Alexander Povetkin Battle To Split Draw

[JakeTheBoxer]

I think hunter needs to go back to cruiserweight. The draw was the best result he could’ve gotten. If you struggle against an old 40 year old fringe contender and didn’t win many rounds at that, you need to either give it up or go back down.

Povetkin is top 10 guy, no fringe contender.

Hunter belongs in division.

Great fight. That is how a heavyweight fights should look like.

I agree! Great fight and I’m cool with a draw.

I thought Hunter edged it at the end. 7-5 for me. But great fight.

Povetkin, at 40, slows down as the fight goes on.

[Madison Boxing]

Hunter won that

I missed the 12th round and the decision decision. Dazn crashed and then went back to the 4th round, then when it came back as Pacheco was walking in. Ridiculous

This afternoon I bet on Joshua inside four, and on two draws in Hunter vs Povetkin and Eubank Jr vs Korobov.

One scored, two to go.

if you include the ko that happened in th 5th round povetkin at least deserve a draw

[Dr Rassclart]

I had it 7-5 to Hunter but he has no chance of troubling the top 5 to 10 ranked heavyweights. Back down to cruiserweight would be the less profitable but prudent route.

I disagree, Jake. Povetkin has lost every big fight, and at 40 now he struggles with the top champions making him a fringe contender. Povetkin is more of a competitive gatekeeper at this point in time. As for hunter, unless he goes back to eating meat and cuts the breads and donuts so that he loses the fat, he won’t go very far.

Caught some but not all of the fight. They don't look Ike they could beat any of the top three or four heavyweights.
