    A fight between two experienced fighters, I think that Pulev's style is completely wrong for Zhang, and he is wrong in such a way that Zhang would crush him in the first round, what do you think?

    You're putting someone fairly hittable in against Zhang? Yeah. That's gonna end well.

    Pulev ATM is awful. He should fight Okolie instead.

    Pulev can't handle the Chinese power

    Zhang would destroy Pulev. Pulev sucks.

    Zhang stops the Bulgarian.

    Probably with a jab.

    Once Pulev gets past Oqeundo after his "title" shot is adjudicated, I presume he will have to fight whomever the WBA has as their #1 contender for the "Regular" belt

    Pulev lacks power and likes to hug so that will make him vulnerable. It would be almost impossible for him to stop China, so he'll have to last 12. But he's tough and if he avoids getting KO'd early he might just jab his way to victory when China runs out of gas.

    Only Wlad and AJ have stopped him and it took a while. He took at least five clean bombs from Wlad, hooks and rh's, before going down and out. Most wouldn't last that long. Pulev has way more skill than someone like Joyce. Wlad implied Pulev had more skill than AJ actually and most thought Pulev fought terribly against Wlad, doing his cobra arm thing.
