Povetkin hasn't really lost that many rounds in his pro career. He just schooled Hughie Fury. I think his technical ability, head movement and avoiding shots will work against Hunter. This is going to be 12 round slugfest. I go with Povetkin by decision.
Indeed. I think it's going to be really close. Maybe we'll get a wonky decision in Saudi but I think too
Am stoked for this fight. Povetkin is such a survivor, 12 years after he takes out Byrd he's still pounding away. And Hunter is like a Byrd-lite. So what's Povetkin got left? Interesting to see - he's clearly lost a step and Hunter's timing feels about right. I think Povetkin wants his respect very early if he's going to get this done. Good fight.
