    Where was your scorecard? I didn't feel like going through the entire RBR, I just snagged the ones I saw right after the final bell.

    Povetkin. There was a knockdown that wasn`t scored. Hunter fly into the rope was a KD for sure. If there wasn`t the rope he was going down. That was a clear KD.
    Match was competitive and close, and i would say the draw was a good result, but if the KD was scored Povetkin should have won it.

    Could've gone either way. So the draw is OK.
    Hunter scored well with the jab. Povetkin didn't look good early on , but he came on strong late in the fight.
    It was also obvious that Hunter is no real HW, he seems more like a fattish Cruiserweight to me. Respect for his performance against Povetkin, but he should've probably have stayed at CW and become champion there with Usyk gone.

    That's what I had it and as has been pointed out earlier Povetkin was relieved with a draw, he knew he'd lost

    I remember having it close for Hunter, which seemed to be the consensus after the fight.

    I didn't score the fight, but my impression is that Hunter just nicked it by a round or two, but the thing with Povetkin is he may not always land as much as his opponent but he lands quality punches.

    Hughie Fury landed more than Povetkin, but he only landed p*ss poor punches, Povetkin landed quality punches.

    I'd say Hunter was a bit unlucky perhaps, but there wasn't much between them.

    A draw wasn't that unfair, it could have gone another way another night.

    The bottom one you wrote. The jab seperated him just like whitaker de la hoya.

    Alexander Povetkin scored a knockdown that wasn't counted.

    I had him a couple of points to the good. I thought that Michael Hunter started well and seriously gassed prematurely.

    Really close, you can't complain about a draw.
    Hunter was actually not on his best shape, around 10 pounds overweight. An in shape Hunter probably has the advantage in a rematch and I'd pick him over Whyte. Hunter actually has good power at HW and is a good finisher when he has guys hurt, one shouldn't underestimate him.
