Chisora vs Pulev 9th July in 02 London

So what's your point? Chisoras last three opponents vs Pulevs last three aren't even comparable in terms of skill.

 

Pulev apparently didn’t get paid my Triller so he needs the money. Coming to UK and away fighter and not long after his last fight. Advantage Chisora. Still think Pulev will win

 

Ugh, is this the sort of announcement that excites heavyweight fans? What a vomitorium of a division.

 

Pulev has only stopped 14 fighters.

 

How = euro bum

 

I'm not sure what I'm supposed to interpret "euro bum" to mean, so I can't really comment. If you could define the term as you see it, I'd appreciate it.

 

Pulev should be able to keep Chisora off of him and win a boring fight on points.

But this fight is only about 7 weeks after Pulev went 10 rounds against Forrest. Those weren't 10 particularly-difficult rounds for him - but that's a pretty short layoff for a 41 year-old fighter. Can't rule out Chisora landing something big & hurtful...

 

Thanks for the stats mark, very much appreciated.

 

What's funny?

 

My point is that the Chisora who gave Usyk trouble was a considerably younger and fresher version of Chisora than the one which exists today. In Parker 1 Chisora still looked like the Chisora of old but in Parker 2 he appeared to be washed and he's carrying 7 extra months and another 12 round, 3 KD beating since then.

The only really relevant opponent Pulev has faced of late is tough journeyman/gatekeeper and short brawler Forrest, who was unlucky not to get decisions against Hunter and Zhang and gave a pre-Joyce Takam a good fight. Pulev dealt with his Chisora-esque opponent with relative ease. I don't consider it relevant to this fight but AJ is one of Pulev's last three opponents, so even by that standard it's not like Pulev's been fighting no-hopers.

 

Fair view, I just think Pulev is more shot than Chisora is, even after his last beating. Pulev looked horrible against AJ.

 

What are the odds? I plan to bet Pulev by decision

 

I thought Chisora looked really at his best when he had Haye as his manager. After ditching Haye, he looked awful vs Parker in the rematch.

 

He did look poor against AJ but I think AJ's skills have improved over the years. He was fairly competitive with Usyk in his next fight, which requires good skill. Stylistically Pulev was also in trouble against AJ just as he was against Wlad because he doesn't have the mobility of a Parker or Jennings, let alone an Usyk or 2015 Fury. If his opponent has the size, speed and power to bulldoze him, there's not much Pulev can do it seems. But he will keep getting up so long as he can and the two fighters that beat him are a lot better than Chisora.
