    Good chance for Pulev to step up as a contender and erase Austin from the rankings once and for all. Hope he can pull it off.

    Holyfield back in action against nielsen! I wonder if we will get another roaring show like his last event.

    Good opportunity for Pulev here. If he can beat austin he can become a player.

    Pulev aint fooling around. He has only 11 fights and has beaten:

    Matt Skelton
    Dominick Guinn
    Paolo Vidoz

    And some other decent fighters.

    They are moving Pulev up pretty fast but he can take it. Pulev is a olympic gold medalist? can anyone confirm

    He's fighting some better opponents than David Haye.

    Haye prefers to fight bums like Audley Harrison and Monte Barrett.

    Haye's fights are like retirement parties for fighters who have been around too long.

    Pulev has already beaten Dominick Guinn who easily outpointed Fraudly and that was Haye's last opponent!! Austin would beat Audley or Barrett. Vidoz and Skelton are about the same level more or less as Harrison and Barrett.

    No, he isn't a olympic champion, but he is a European gold medalist from Liverpoool '2008

    Brave choice. Austin can give him problems and Pulev is no KO artist, but I expect him to get a competitive decison and lots of valuable experience.

    Pulev needs to make a statement. He has looked a bit pedestrian of late.

    I typically respect your opinion, but I think this is a blowout. Pulev is no worse than fat Solis, IMO. His head movement sucks and that will eventually be his downfall, but not against Ray Austin,
