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

[JakeTheBoxer]

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 agree. Povetkin is shot. he is no competition for Joshua, Fury or Wilder.

But he can compete with Hunter, Ortiz, Chisora, Whyte, Pulev and others.

Sasha still can get many good fights.

My top 5 going into last night was...
1) Wilder
2) Fury
3) Ruiz
4) Joshua
5)Povetkin

After last night it is Wilder, Fury & Joshua in the top 3 but 4-10 is a crap shoot. Ruiz still has a win over Joshua & a close decision loss on the road to Parker in his home country so I still keep him at #4. He was fat a grossly out of shape & unprepared for the rematch. I could see him dropping out of the top 10 if he doesn't get it together. Povetkin maintains his #5 with me but time is ticking on that as well. Hunter is now an official top 10 in my opinion. Lots of guys fighting for positioning in the top 5-20. Parker, Pulev, Usyk, Hrgovic, Dubois, Ortiz, Chisora, Whyte, Bryan, Hunter, Hughie Fury, Miller, Kownacki, Breazeale & Joyce. There are a lot of others on the fringe too like Romanov, Ajagba, Yoka & several other prospects...Povetkin can still have some good fights & make some money...
