Pulev v Thompson

So, who wins and why?

 

Pulev outboxes him over the stretch behind the jab, won't be easy but clear.

 

Both are terrific fighters, but I think Thompson's size and durability might allow him to earn the decision. Definitely not a fight you would be certain who would win.

 

Is the fight on ? When it´s staged in Germany, Sauerland´s influence will make the difference. Thompson has to do a Price to win the fight.

 

I don't think anything's signed yet, but I believe it's under discussion, and I'd guess fighting TT in Germany (which I believe is being proposed) has to be a better bet than Chisora in his backyard. Aug 24 or Sept 14 seem to be the dates. If the IBF accept the fight as an eliminator, a win could line up Pulev for a K shot (or TT for that matter, which would be amusing)

That said I rate TT as a far better fighter than Del Boy. Pulev certainly ain't guaranteed to win, tho I do see it as likely - I don't see Kubrat going down, and that jab will give TT a lot of problems.

 

All day long!

 

tough fight for Pulev, but if he can outjab TT, he has a decent chance to win, no disrespect to TT, but he was blowing by the 3rd round in the Price rematch, his conditioning is not what it was 4-5 years ago

 

thompson wins this one on points.pulev's jab WILL NOT work well with thompson.nothing really great about either guy but there both real fighters.thompson is such an awkward guy.everything about him is awkward even his speech

 

I posted this earlier on another thread:

"According to e friend Pulev has just confirmed to Bulgarian media that he is fighting Thompson. Here's a translation:

"I'll fight Tony Thomson. The fight is agreed and I have nothing more to say on the subject! I don't know why people write that I'll be fighting Chisora. Might happen. Let me first beat Tony, than we'll see""

 

+1. I am from Bulgaria. Some of the Pulev's fights in Utube:

.......
Not quite impressive but still has some qualities. Doesn't have the goods to beat K
==
Pulev beats TTT with TKO in 9th round!!!

 

TTT's defensive skills looked terrible against DPrice. I think chisora ll beat TTT

 

TT will stop Pulev in round 5 on major cuts.

 

And if not?

 

Pulev has not fought anyone even close as good as Thompson as sad as that is. He could not even KO glass jawed Walker. He does not have power to hurt TT. The only way Pulev can win is if it goes the full 12. No way TT will win if it goes to the cards even if he wins every round if they fight in Europe.

 

Nice try derrick.
