Michael Hunter calls out Alex Povetkin

Michael Hunter W12 Sergey Kuzmin... Heavyweight Michael Hunter produced another fine performance over the weekend, handing a first career defeat to Russia's Sergey Kuzmin. Hunter (18-1, 12 KOs) started brightly and punctuated his early dominance with a left hook knockdown at the start of fifth. Hunter invested heavily in the body of the Russian (15-1, 11 KOs) and was rewarded by three cards of 117-110 in his favor. The 31 year-old Hunter is targeting a showdown with Alexander Povetkin next. “I wanted to stop the boy, but he’s a tough opponent, I didn’t get him,” said Hunter. “I am pleased with my performance, but I saw things I need to sharpen up on. He was a strong dude with a lot of weight. He absorbed it very well. Their guard is tight, I just have to go back to the drawing board and dissect these guys again. I want Povetkin. If you see me Povetkin, I’m coming for you.” source: matchroom
