    If Fury sticks to the gameplan and actually boxes, I think he has a shot at winning. BUT, if he brawls and reverts back to his early brawling style like he did last night then he's going to lose badly. Either way, I think Pulev is the favorite but it will be a good and competitive fight just as long as Fury boxes.

    Pulev by random, accidental KO.

    And that isn't a joke, I'm serious.

    I give Fury a good chance though, better than anyone not named Klitschko, Haye, or Povetkin.

    Pulev will make Fury look clumsy and foolish, and will jab him to death

    Pulev by KO

    Fury is better than he showed on Saturday, but Pulev would be too much for him IMO

    Pulev will pick Fury apart.

    Fury will probably (unless he's a complete idiot) learn from last Saturday's near disaster. He wouldn't take Pulev lightly, would train properly and do less of his trademark showboating.

    Having said that, I think Fury would go into the fight as a slight underdog, maybe 45/55. It would be physical size (Fury) vs. amateur experience and technique (Pulev)

    I can see Pulev walking Tyson onto some big counters & taking him out at some point.

    Tyson is very game though & it will take a very good performance to beat him but I reckon Pulev has the tools to win this.

    Tyson will never lose to a tit-grabber like Pulev.

    Hopefully Fury fights him somewhere what isn't America or the UK, if he doesn't view it as a big stage and doesn't try and entertain his chances of getting the job done go up massively.

    I wouldn't bet towards either of them unless the odds were incredibly good.

    Pulev will jab Fury out in the middle rounds I think.

    Peter Fury said his performance Saturday was a 2/10 and he still did to USS what nobody else could do.
    Fury acted and fought stupid but shouldn't be written off yet.
    Travis Walker had Puvlev rocked to his boots, Pulev couldn't put him away but younger fat Arreola, Banks and other club fighters could.
