The crowds make just as much noise in Germany as anywhere else. They seem quiet because when we're watching commentators calling the fight from a studio while WATCHING A SCREEN in the USA (EPIX) or the UK (BoxNation) we can't hear the crowd. But if you watch the telecasts from a network that has commentators calling the fights right at ringside (ARD, RTL) you'll realize the people in the crowds in Germany get just as excited as anywhere else.
I don't see this fight happening in Germany especially with how much Main Events/NBC sports has give him exposure in the States. I love the match-up, but doubt it will be in Europe especially Germany.
Not surprised. Its ashame we can't get many good fights anymore. The contenders just keep fighting bums until they get a title shot. I guess from a money point it makes sense. But it sucks for the fans. As soon as I heard Jennings and Pulev was fighting I knew it probably would not happen. I just didn't see Jennings going to Europe to fight him. And Pulev has never fought in the US has he?? We as fans have got to stop supporting these guys fighting bums or it will keep happening. COntenders need to face each other at some point. People are all over Fury but over all most of them are doing to same. Just fight bums until you get you title shot and pay day. Its all about the money.
Yeah and Pulev wont go to the states to get robbed from Main Events. (Adamek-Cunningham, Scott-Glazkov) They are even worse then Sauerland at the Moment.
Well they need to fight or lose there ranking by the IBF. I'm sick of guys fighting bums getting title shots. It Wlads fault. They see bums like Pianeta ,Wach and Mormeck getting title shots. Hell you have a better chance of getting a title shot if you are out of the top 10. The contenders don't have to fight each other because the Klitschkos choose who they want to fight anyway.
Didn't really get all the details to why Pulev and Fury fight didn't happen. I'm not sure I would say Jennings will be a easier fight tho. Jennings is a lot smaller than Fury but he has some great boxing skills. Jennings seems to be punching harder these days as well. Jennings is being managed well. I hope his fight with Pulev happens but I know it won't. Hell Wlad and Povetkin is not even final yet. Fury seems that he is going to duck Haye. Hell every fight I want to see is not going to happen. Heavyweight boxing is getting boring. Hell you Wlad fighting people that should be cleaning toliets. Vitali never fights. Povetkin fighting bums as well. I did enjoy Haye vs. Chisora. We have Price vs. TT next weekend. These contenders need to start fighting each other.
i actually had Glaskov vs Scott as a draw. Scott was just too negative to win the fight. he didn't throw enough. neither did Glaskov, which is why i couldn't split them. doesn't look like the fight is happening now. but hey, what's new?
it was actually Fury and Mick Hennessy that pulled out of negotiations before the dead line. not Pulev's fault. he was willing to fight, but Fury got a better deal to fight with Haye. that's if the fight actually happens.
SO your saying Pulev moves better than Jennings??? Man I hope this fight happens. Pulev stands straight up and is on the slow side. Pulev also needs to learn how to throw a proper right hand. He loops it so bad it looks like he slapping. Jennings is going to expose this hypejob. Jennings moves way better than Pulev its not even close. My guess is Jennings stops Pulev on cuts.
i'd hope jennings wins but i think the step up is to big for him. pulev is bigger, stronger and has morge experience...
Great news if its true! well at this point I think Pulev is slight favorite but i go with Jennings by SD!
