I'd rather see Breazeale/Whyte. Pulev only loses if he's gotten old over night - outboxes him quite easily otherwise.
Love Breazeale, I think he could pull this off if he comes in motivated, he has the power definitely to make a difference. Pulev hasn't looked all too crisp in his last 2-3 outings. Could be outboxed by Pulev though, pretty easily.
Way too big gap in skills. Breazeale is big and tough but too slow and predictable. Pulev by comfortable decision if he isn't totally shot
These guys are evenly matched in my opinion but Breazele in my opinion is tougher and will outlast Pulev in a very good fight.
Pulev UD. He is tough great chin. And Breazeale not crisp enough to land something big. He also would need many shots to keep Pulev down.
I'd pick Pulev 10 out of 10 times, and for all the people who think Kubrat has lost ambition, that's doubtful, its probably just a case of how can you get excited fighting Kevin Johnson. Although the same could probably apply to fighting Breazeale. Pulev beat Chisora in a near shutout far easier than Whyte and Kabayel, both young lions, and he didn't even seem to get out of first gear doing so. If he hasn't faded horribly overnight, I think he can still win this with ease.
Kubrat Pulev is another one of these 38 year old guys who hasnt done anything for ages who really just needs to get gone.
Breazale isn’t going to take this fight. He’s been in with AJ before and knows he can’t beat him. He probably fancies his chances against Wilder a lot more. I think Breazale opts out of the IBF route and goes WBC.
