Huck vs. Povetkin on Saturday; winner could face one of the Klitschkos next
By Jason Kim: WBA heavyweight champion Alexander Povetkin (23-0, 16 KO’s) faces his toughest test in quite some time on Saturday night against Marco Huck (34-1, 25 KO’s) at the Porsche-Arena, Stuttgart, Baden-Württemberg, Germany. Povetkin, 32, is the natural heavyweight facing the slightly smaller 27-year-old Huck, who is moving in weight from the cruiserweight for this fight to seek a bigger payday.
Vitali needs to take on Huck-Povetkin winner next; forget about Haye
By Scott Gilfoid: WBC heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko (45-2, 40 KO’s) needs to maximize the time he has left in the sport and go after some really important fights before he hangs up his gloves in 2013 or 2014. The fight that a lot of boxing fans were somewhat interested in seeing was Vitali vs. David Haye, but that fight is now permanently off the table due to Haye wanting too much money for what he brings to the table.
