7 - 4 - 1 ,.. or 7 - 5 at the very best for Huck,.. Povetkin was exhausted though, but still was aggressive enough to outwork him. Povetkin needs to get into better shape,.. and learn to put his hands up and defend himself properly, otherwise those downward punches to the back of the head will get to him in the end, and so they should,.. if anybody uses the illegal folding below belt level technique,.. crack that brain-stem.
No way Huck won the fight but it was close, tough for both and was fought at high pace. All in all it was an interesting and good fight. Povetkin attacks quickly and throws extremely good combinations but he is very easy to hit from distance, Huck could telegraph his left for three seconds and Povetkin still managed to get hit by it. Also, Povetkin can't punch and his stamina was poor this time. Povetkin is pretty fun to watch, but all the hopes that his last performance raised about him being able to challenge the Klitshkos were gone again Huck did better than I though, he isn't very versatile but he throws good straight punches and is pretty accurate with them. Based on this, I'd give him a good chance against Adamek and perhaps Arreola.
Huck is the European Mayorga. He better stay away from anyone with straight punches. He's a wide, wild, dirty bastard. And Povetkin is finished, if, that is, he ever got started. One bone head move after another. Ironically, the son of a bitch is right up there with Dayvon Alexander in terms of the old pfp resume trick- he's even beaten Muhammad Ali.
Fair enough then. That said, there was no way I was going to stay up late for Dayvon vs Maidana. Just no chance. I'll do it for Flid vs Cotto and thats as much out of respect for Cotto as for Floyd.
