	Luckily for Huck, Povetkin neglected counters and not only did not prevent Marco from closing the distance, most often accompanied by a predictable right swing, but, as noted above, himself went down, greatly simplifying the task for the German fighter. Huck's forearms were immediately right there and, in combination with constant blows to the back of the Russian's head, did their job. In response to this, the referee only bothered to look menacingly at the German several times and softly warn about the fouls. No more. To complete the picture, threatening finger was the only thing left.

			Povetkin showed clear signs of fatigue by the middle of the fight. Almost every round he started with a successful series, but subsequently he invariably allowed his opponent to get in control. There was very little to distinct on Huck's part, but he still managed to give the overall picture a favorable undertone for himself.

			We've already seen that the will of the German prevails over the brain. It was the same this time. It was surprising that this statement turned out to be true for Povetkin as well. It the will that allowed him to survive at the end of the seventh round when he endured several right shots from Huck, and just overall hold on until the final bell. Alexander's face looked much nicer than the bloodied contender, but the latter was rarely if ever staggered during the fight, and the same cannot be said about the Russian boxer.

			Povetkin found the strength in himself to equalize the fight and at some points even surpass Marco thanks to more effective connections, but he was still forced to give up the final round, meeting the final bell in an upright position with great difficulty.

			According to the author, who scored the fight 116-112 in favor of Huck, the best that Alexander could count on was barely a draw. One way or another, the title remains with Povetkin, but with such boxing he should not even think about a fight against Wladimir Klitschko. If there is no rematch, Marco, most likely, will return to the cruiserweight, where he still has plenty of interesting options. A rematch against Denis Lebedev, for example.

	No matter how painfully simple Huck's attacks were, one way or another ending with a sweeping right hand, Alexander could not find an antidote, with unenviable persistence trying to defend himself with his upper-body movement by tilting down to the space near the opponent's belt area. Povetkin managed to get away from the "correct" blows of the German, if such a term is generally applicable to Marko, for some time, but the contender's constant bombing of the back of the crouching Russian's head continued throughout the entire fight. It is not surprising that in the end, the attacks could not but affect Alexander's condition for the worse, and he began to get caught even by the opponent's blatant attacks "from behind."

	In addition to, to put it mildly, a strange manner of defending, Povetkin was clearly lacking stamina - in this regard, Huck turned out to be much better prepared. According to Alexander himself after the fight, he has no idea why his stamina failed him, because everything was fine with it during sparring sessions. In any case, it is useless for us to dig here, since someone else's preparation for us is pure darkness. We can only assume that the change of the coach a month before the fight did play a negative role after all.

			The third factor in Povetkin's bland performance is lack of a well-constructed game plan. While there was some strength in him in the first quarter of the battle, he was overwhelming the contender, demonstrating punching versatility and not giving the German the opportunity to breathe and put together any sort of response. In these moments, Huck looked confused and helpless, humbly accepting the role of a block simulator for processing strikes. But as soon as Alexander slowed down, supplying the fight with more and more long pauses on his part, confidence instantly knocked on the doors of Marco's defensive redoubts, and almost immediately he began to dictate the dirty course of the fight.

	All the more surprising was the verdict of the judges: 114-114, 116-113 and 116-112 - the victory by a majority decision was given to the current champion. All this leads to the conclusion that in Sauerland Event's "heavyweight" plans, Povetkin has been given much more fate from the beginning, and Huck satisfies the promoters in the role of cruiserweight champion enough. After all, two reigning title holders are twice as good as one, because if he wins, Marko would definitely aim for a fight with one of the Klitschko brothers and voluntarily resign his cruiserweight titles.

Alexander's face looked much nicer than the bloodied contender, but the latter was rarely if ever staggered during the fight, ~~and~~ the same cannot be said about the Russian boxer.		We've already seen that the will of the German prevails over the brain. It was the same this time. It was surprising that this statement turned out to be true for Povetkin as well. It is the will that allowed him to survive at the end of the seventh round when he endured several right shots from Huck, and just overall hold on until the final bell. Alexander's face looked much nicer than that of the bloodied contender, but the latter was rarely if ever staggered during the fight, meanwhile the same cannot be said about the Russian boxer.

	Povetkin found the strength in himself to equalize the fight and at some points even surpass Marco thanks to more effective ~~connections~~, but he was still forced to give up the final round, meeting the final bell in an upright position with great difficulty.

	According to the author, who scored the fight 116-112 in favor of Huck, the best that Alexander could count on was barely a draw. One way or another, the title remains with Povetkin, but with such boxing he should not even think about a fight against Wladimir Klitschko. If there is no rematch, Marco, most likely, will return to the cruiserweight, where he still has plenty of interesting options. A rematch against Denis Lebedev, for example.
