    I know Hunter has built up some great momentum.

    But I think Povetkin gets this one on points. Povetkin is still a great boxer despite his age, and he will dominate enough rounds to get the nod.

    Hunter will retire Povetkin on Saturday
    Late stoppage or points win

    I think Hunters trouble for anyone in the HW division

    Hunter takes the early rounds, Povetkin comes on late.

    Hunter 115-113

    Not that it is but neither is Hunters, I just think Povetkins natural strength will show down the stretch.

    This fight has come at the right time for Hunter.

    Have to agree
    He will have a lively 4 to 5 rounds then slow down

    i think it’s the opposite. Povetkin will pick up the first few rounds before Hunter starts dancing circles around him and takes it on points or even a late stoppage.

    Two fighters I rate very highly and winner of this will surely will have to be everyone's top 5 HW's if they aren't already.

    Just like the AJ VS Ruiz fight I can see this fight going either way and I've changed my mind numerous times regarding the outcome. If forced to decided I probably give the slight edge towards Hunter.

    Going with Povetkin, think he’s a little underrated on here.
    Yes he is old though, and his age has showed in his last three fights, maybe four.
    Povetkin does have the skills to help him win in older age, and that is what I think will see him through this fight.

    Hunter has nothing to bother Povetkin with.... he is very average... only advantage he has over Povetkin is his YOUTH.....

    I think Hunter late, around 9-10-11, Povetkin will be dangerous early but will fade.

    Povetkin on points. If Hunter beats him though I'll have to seriously start giving him props.
