Povetkin wins by stoppage within five rounds. Al's swarming, heavy-banging assault puts Gerry down for the count.

Before it's over, Gerry hurts and floors Povetkin. But Al could take a punch; Cooney couldn't. That makes all the difference.

Either way, it's thrilling for as long as it lasts.

Either Cooney blasted Povetkin out with his devastating left hook early by 4 or 5 rounds or Povetkin either outboxes Cooney behind his jabs and combinations to take a decision or stopping him late.

Povetkin stops Cooney later in the fight. Povetkin was enough tough to withstand the early danger, while overall he was a superior boxer.

Cooney does well early, and looks like he may be capable of outboxing Povetkin until about Round 4 or Round 5 when he gets knocked cold.
