    After the fight, he goes over to Pulev and they have a long convo and then they do a vertical fist bump and Joshua smashes Pulev's gloves very aggressively like he did at the staredown. I thought that was so classless. I have no problem with **** talk and even embarrassing your opponent if you can in the ring, but to act all aggressively like that towards your opponent AFTER you've beaten him? I thought that was such an ******* move.

    Did you guys see that? Did you have a problem with it?

    No. Joshua doesn't like him. No point pretending that they do. Pulev said something at the end of the fight and Joshua didn't like it. I think Joshua would be happy if he didn't bump into Pulev ever again.

    You know whats classless? When Pulev literally turned his back mid fight and ran away. He deserved to get punched in the back of the head for being such a poltroon.

    On Pulev's turned back, I've no idea why he didn't just take a knee for 9. Remember Wlad taking a knee a few times vs Sam Peter and he still won the fight. Was bizarre stuff from Pulev especially given he's a veteran of long experience.

    Joshua's a strange guy. As is Pulev.

    Pulev was still acting like a bad man even after he got bounced off the canvas.

    These guys think they're the same tough men they were when they were younger. They rarely mature.

    I actually warmed to Pulev with some of his broken English interviews. He has a sense of humour certainly.

    He's acting overly confident for beating a washed up B level heavyweight. Even wlad at his most boring stage of his career knocked pulev out in 5 rounds, this was when wlad was fighting like he was scared to get hit.
