Draw...I really don't see it, but considering we're apparently split here on the forum I reckon it's fair.

Hunter did more damage throughout though seemed to me. Definitely stamped himself as a contender, and I wouldn't hate a rematch of this. Though they'll probably just face other opponents.

I wish there were more clarity at heavyweight. That's all I want from this main event: one of the two guys to win really clearly. And then move on to fight someone they haven't already fought.

I have a great respect for Povetkin, but, there is no way he won 6 rounds tonight.

Didn't AJ lose his last fight to a barely 6 foot HW?

When your scorecard is 115-113, with two or three difficult to score rounds, then you can’t be too upset about the draw.

The Sky Sports commentary team didn’t do enough to explain this concept to their viewing audience.

Hunter the same size as Holmes. Or close to it. No?

The rematch would favor Hunter; Povetkin is only gonna lose more stamina as he fights on.

There’s no atmosphere in that Stadium.

Biggest fight of the year and the crowd are as silent as the Tyson-Douglas fight.

Yeah, you’re probably right. I can hear the music echo around the stadium. Zero crowd noise.

I’m actually quite disappointed. I love a rowdy crowd that gets highly-excited about pivotal moments during bouts.

It's probably packed with saudi dignitaries. Maybe they should play "Ahab the Arab" :lol:

The highlight of the evening are the British fans that look like Saudis with their plastic raincoats.
I remember staying up all night to watch Mike Tyson, Evander and Lennox at 4 a.m. CET. The only reason I'm watching this crap is for the time zone.

Go, Ruiz! Bury this sorrow heavyweight generation once and for all!

Is it correct that Joshua:
- picked the ref?
- picked the giant ring size?
- earns 6 times as much as Ruiz?

Ruiz is really just in there for the paycheck, huh?
