    Hunter has a better case for victory than Povetkin, who faded down the stretch. But a draw was okay, too. Neither man is a threat to the top three.

    Your opinion doesn't make any sense.. So what do you think of Hunter?

    Lacks a Plan B, very fast starter who is bad for slow starters and guys at the end of their career, tad undersized but seriously fast.

    He'd should be matched up with Chisora.

    Happy with the draw myself, was interested to see how they would call it as there could be argument one way or another

    The draw is OK. Both guys hurt each other in that fight. I actually had it 115-113 for Hunter.
    Hunter has a much better jab, and he landed that plenty, and he has heart. But you could see he is no real HW. He should lose weight and go back to CW.
    Povetkin has a better overall punch selection and he is very tough and has a lot of heart. Respect to him for still be able to go 12 hard rounds and overcome some very tough moments and come back. But at 40 years you can see he's past his best... he still is good but not like he was some years ago. I don't think he can win a major fight again. He should think about retirement.

    I thought Hunter nicked it personally.

    Defo a draw, I mean Pov earned a Knockdown which wasnt counted. Had Hunter hurt. Was best fight of the night though, and I enjoyed it.

    Hunter has some real violence in him.
