    I don't think is chin is that bad. He just has a pathetic defense.

    Wlad can do that to anyone who's chin isn't absolute granite.. Wlad is one of the hardest hitting HW champions of all time.

    Where are those idiots saying that Pulev would test Wlad? How he will take him into deep waters? How *FAST* Pulev was?

    Pulev was slow as **** next to Wlad.

    I thought he'd last longer he hasn't shown a poor chin previously but then Wlad does hit like a truck when he lets his hands go.

    At least Pulev did actually come to win, he just wasn't good enough. For that he deserves respect

    Add some flavor to your posts Rico, man you're sounding more and more like a broken record/robot these days.

    I never thought Pulev would win, but I did think he did a decent job testing Wlad. He roughed him up a bit in the clinch, and although his most effective rough house tactics weren't legal, the ref was mostly letting him get away with it. He also caught Wlad a few times, and had some minor success jabbing. Wlad just had better timing and was able to read how Pulev reacted to feints to set little traps.

    I like how some people try to play semantics by saying "He doesn't have a glass jaw. He got hit in the temple, not the chin."

    You people DO know that the term "glass jaw" refers to general punch resistance, and not the actual jaw, right?

    Pulev was on a stanky leg in round 1 from that left hook. Reminded me of Broner :lol::lol:
