This fight will happen for certain now, because Stiverne will not fight Klitschko next. It will probably go to purse bid. If K-2 wins, it will be on September 6.
Fingers crossed. HW boxing needs a huge brakethrough. Wlad needs to go and I hope the one to send him to retirement will be Pulev. Tough matchup with a lot of question marks. I know most people pretend to be sure of Wlad winning but no one denies there is some kind of an intrigue in that fight.
Of course that he has.Pulev has been dreaming for 2 years to face Wlad.He'll do the impossible to knock him out.Pulev even already start to training and prepare himself for this fight.
Pulev will give Wlad a difficult, grueling fight. He's a natural-born fighter with a strong chin, he's quite crafty and a good inside fighter. Kubrat has excellent stamina, and starts slow but gets stronger and into a better rhythm as a fight progresses. He doesn't have one-punch KO power, but he punches hard enough to gradually break down his opponents. Wlad will likely win, but he'll take some punishment along the way.
Pulev is a good HW but I honestly think Oleksandr Usyk could beat him on September 6th, nevermind what Wlad will do to him.
