Pulev gets KO'd, possibly in round one. He had literally no defence. He had an awkward jab and some skills, but no head movement.
Good match up I think it's a tough one to call because of Wilders power I would think Pulev on points but wouldn't be shocked if Wilder did catch him Pulev on points would've been my pick
For whatever reason I recently watched 2013 Pulev vs an almost 42 year old Tony Thompson in Germany and Thompson won 4 rounds. The same Thompson who was getting outboxed, hurt and dropped by upper-British/fringe Euro level Price a couple of months earlier before Price gassed in the 4th. Big stiff stationary idiot Pulev would stand opposite Wilder, jabbing away with no KO threat and sooner rather than later, Wilder would take his head off with a fast right hand from distance.
Pulev has never been a player at the top level. He’d stand off Wilder for a few rounds then get heavily KO’d
Just lol if you voted for Pulev. Pulev had literally no defence. He'd get KO'd in 1-2 rounds vs Wilder.
Yeah probably this I think. Pulev is the much better boxer but I have a feeling that Wilder catches up to him later in the fight. I'd say 60% Wilder KO or 40% Pulev UD.
Pulev ducked his way into title fights, just look at the difference when it comes to him and Povetkin after they lost to Wlad. Tells you everything you need to know. Decent size and jab, but too easy to hit. I'd probably pick even Whyte to stop him, Pulev's a sucker for the lead hook.
I hope Wilder does not retire as he still brings a lot of interest to the division despite his losses to Fury. Let’s see who else can pull off the win over Wilder without getting themselves KTFO in the process .
