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.

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.
