By Scott Gilfoid: It’s hard to see what the big fuss was about with last Saturday’s fight between WBA World heavyweight champion Alexander Povetkin (24-0, 16 KO’s) and cruiserweight Marco Huck (34-2, 25 KO’s). I wasn’t impressed by either fighter and saw it was a case of a couple of limited guys fighting over a paper title in Stuttgart, Germany. Povetkin won the fight by a 12 round majority decision by the scores 114-114, 116-113 and 116-112.
