YOUR PREDICTIONS ????

ha ha i almost got it right/ but i did mention dimintrinko had sum dog in him

[king khan]

You're probably right. . . But I'm going out on a limb, and going against coventional wisdom here. . . I think 'Trenko is going to outpoint him. . .

He has more experience, and he is a better athlete than given credit for (but he's certainly no Klitschko). . . He has just as much power as Pulev, and he'll keep the jab pumping enough off the back foot, followed by just enough right hands, and occasional left hooks to win a 116-112 type decision.

I also think this is the "must watch fight" of this entire STACKED weekend. . .

Lol. . . Nowhere close. . . They aren't bums, though.

Pulev is a solid HW prospect; or actually despite only being 15 fights deep (15-0, 7 KO's), he's past the "prospect" stage, as he has already proved himself against Travis Walker (UD12). He also beat journey Michael Sprott (fight was stopped after 9th round by the ref). Pulev is about average size for a HW these days - 6'4'', and a fairly solid, but not "ripped" 250 pounds (17.8 stone).

Pulev has your quintessential boxer/puncher style - a bit of a plodder, as he comes in behind a pretty solid jab, slowly walking forward with the tight, european high-guard. Very good fundamentals, and good, but basic technique. He has good balance, and throws a very straight, and accurate right hand. Lets his hands go with nice combinations as well. Defense is pretty solid, but definitely hittable. He has average speed, and power, and overall average athletic qualities, and capabilities.

Dimitrenko is more experienced, as he has 30 plus fights (32-1, 21 KO's). Notable names on his resume are Eddie Chambers (Majority decision loss), Luan Krasniqi (KO3), Sprott (UD 12), and Sosnowski (KO12 - BEAUTIFUL right uppercut; really put sosnowski to sleep). . . He is very tall @ 6'7'', and weighs in at a semi-toned, but "soft" 255-260. Very long reach @ 83"

Dimitrenko is kind of like a more active Wladimir Klitschko, minus the ability to tie up on the inside, and definitely minus the power, fleetness of hand and foot, and overall athletic ability. He is a better athlete, and fleeter of hand and foot than Tyson Fury, though. . . In his loss to Eddie Chambers, he showed his vulnerability on the inside, as Chambers was able to jump in, and out all night long, firing off combinations. . . Dimitrenko wasn't COMPLETELY shut out, as he did have some moments, but he just couldn't dael with Chambers speed (which is pretty fast). . . He's just your typical "tall man" outside fighter. . .

Here's some highlights of them:

Dimitrenko's KO of Sosnowski (LOL, looks like they are fighting in front fo 300 people in a German hauptschule gym). haha also, note that this fight was rescheduled once, as the first time he PASSED OUT in the locker room before the fight (haha literally, he straight fell out!) Nobody knows why. . .

Dimitrenko vs. Chambers highlights (as you'll see, he had some moments, but Chambers just fought a very fast-paced fight with the perfect gameplan)

Probably. . He's like a 3-1 favorite. . I'm just going out on a limb here; testing myself, if you will, and picking 'Trenko to surprise a lot of people, and outbox him.

[TerryESB]

I think Dimitrenko is gonna win. He is the same size as the Klitschkos and has their old trainer. So he has alot of things on his side.

This. Also would expect the decision to be controversial to some degree.
