WTF ppl?! Do you know why Povietkin was rocked? Becaues he was hit like 100 time to the back of his head! Those shots did their job. His head was probably buzzing like hell after those. Not strange that in that condition he was getting rocked pretty easily. Also count out all those dirty punches and shots after stop command. Without them Huck landed almost nothing
This are just excuses, both had their fair share of fouling/irregular behaviour. Huck often did his hold and hit stuff, while Povetkin often ducked very low and hit after the bell once, so stop making things up. No problem with the decision btw.
Huck EVT12 Povetkin Fair play to both guys for bringing some excitement & entertainment to the HW division
Shocked that Huck rented a jab for the night, but there was a mileage limit on it. It was the best jab I ever seen him use. If he'd set up his right with it, he'd won...and he didn't hook at all that I can remember. I had the fight as a draw...could give it to Povetkin by a round. A couple of times after getting clobbered for half a round, he got in a three hand combo...or threw them.
You could see an instant lack of prepartion, conditioning, and strategy in the Povetkin camp with Teddy Atlas leaving as his trainer. That was the worse I have ever seen Povetkin infact. Lets be honest Alexander was lucky to walk away with a W that night. A well trained, conditioned with a good fight plan Povetkin with Teddy Atlas gets Huck outa their in the mid to late rounds
I had it 7-5. Quite a bunc of people in the RBR thread had Huck winning by a slim margin. I am still proud that i called a Huck win, even if he didn't actually win it. People said he would get KTFO and lose really bad.
Maybe Marco wouldn't hit him on the back of his head if Powetkin had actually balls and stayed standing instead of leaning forward every time he was attacked.
My scorecard: Huck-Povetkin '12 Round 1: Povetkin 10-9 Round 2: Povetkin 10-9 Round 3: Povetkin 10-9 Round 4: Huck 10-9 (Povetkin badly rocked!) Round 5: Huck 10-9 Round 6: Povetkin 10-9 Round 7: Huck 10-8 (Povetkin rocked 4 times, once badly. Huck got moved & had his head snapped back by some big punches, but was never stunned.) Round 8: Povetkin 10-9 Round 9: Huck 10-9 (Povetkin rocked twice.) Round 10: Povetkin 10-9 ? Round 11: Huck 10-9 (Povetkin rocked twice, once badly. Huck rocked!) Round 12: Huck 10-8 (An exhausted Povetkin is wobbled & buckled a few more times, & barely able to stand at the final bell. Would he have survived another minute?) Total: This content is protected Povetkin was on Anal-Penetration Street in rounds 7 & 12... saved by a blatant Gift Decision.
