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

[YoungManRumble]

A draw seems right, I've had it a draw too.

Also, Hunter is a dirty little c-nt, constantly punching after the bell, constantly punching after a break is called, leading with his head.

Lol are you ignoring Povetkin's obvious purposeful headbutt when he was hurt? That probably saved his ass lol vet move.

Povetkin looked older than usually. It was also seen that Hunter is not a true HW but still cruiser.

Looked to me as if Povetkin should of been awarded a knock down

I thought Povetkin won and a knockdown wasn’t counted. That would give Povetkin the win imo in a close fight.

I had it 115-113 Hunter but there were a couple really closerounds so a draw is fine by me. I thought Hunter gave away the 12th round. He had a great 11th round & if he could have been more active in the 12th he would have won in my opinion. This was a WBA eliminator so they either do it again or I would expect a draw helping Hunter more because Povetkin has already been decisively beaten by Joshua. Povetkin looked fatigued by the 9th but was still able to win a couple of late rounds to get himself a draw. I see Fury & Wilder having no trouble with Povetkin at this point in time.

I saw this live and it was freaking epic honestly! 2 fantastic heavyweights who both had raw desires to win. Everyone sat around me felt like a draw was the perfect result for this. Neither guy deserved a loss here

Just re-watched round 5 and it's very clear. If not for the ropes Hunter would have been on the floor, his center of mass was way back. Pity as I was rooting for Povetkin, but then who knows? It was only round 5 and maybe Hunter would have rallied after the KD. Overall, can't be upset with the result. Draw seems fair.

Hunter was a clear winner

[SN!PER]

This was the best fight of the night.

IMO, Hunter and Povetkin are both winners.

Fought with courage and strength like true champions.

They gave us the best HW fight of the night, so am glad none was the loser.
