Well, Povetkin still is considered a one of the best.

Had Povitkin hurt 3 times.
Hopefully a rematch sooner rather than later.

Scoring could've gone either way, but Hunter won his rounds more clearly IMHO. Hunter doesn't need a rematch. He can move on to another top 10 contender.

And Povetkin went to wrong corner at the end of one of the late rounds...like he did at that fight 15y ago-;)

Still it was a better performance than vs Huck. There I gave Huck the edge, now I give it to Povetkin.

I think Pov lost both, but scorecards are almost never the same
As my trainer used to say - "If you don't want assholes to decide, just KO the bastard"

And Hunter tried, but he wasn't able to do it.

Massive respect to both. Hunter wanted a challenge, called Povetkin out. He didn’t turn around and say Hunter does nothing for him, he accepted the challenge and they fought. Was fight of the night.

Id like to see him against ruiz, whyte, mr steroid cheeseburger or even ortiz. Qll good fights

Povetkin did his best but hes fading. Hearn should throw hrgovic in with him. That could be really interesting. Hrgovic has defensive flaws and povetkin can still punch.

Povetkin gets underestimated these days. He was an underdog to Hunter despite having the much more proven track record and only having lost to HOF fighters. Hunter should definitely not get a title shot coming off that performance. Neither should Whyte but that's another story.

No matter what you think of Joshua. He will be a hall of fame fighter.
It is the hall of fame not the hall of the best fighters.... sorry but true
