Wlad, fight a healthy Haye, pinky toe and all. If Haye had his pinky, it would of been lights out for Wladiqueer.
:huh what did your post have to do with the question in the thread? BTW... even with a good toe, haye loses to wlad:deal
I think Pulev should win. He's a better all-around athlete, a better boxer, faster, more varied, more natural. Of course, boxing is boxing and **** happens, everything's up in the air until it's over. The three best prospects in the division, to me, look to be UK's Price, USA's Jennings and Pulev, for everywhere else in the world, who's made it the farthest. I like him. I hope he does win.
Pulev will take this one, he's the better athlete and boxer. But Ustinov is HUGE and hard mofo so should be interesting
First of all, nice fight. Pulev should win it, he has much better skills. Ustinov has power and strenght, which makes him always dangerous, but his stamina is poor and he shows up 30lbs overweight for his fights. The winner is a legit challenger.
Pulev by unanimous decision. Id be massively surprised if the fairly light hitting Pulev KOs the 300lbs 6'8 Ustinov
Pulev should take this, but I am sceptical of his stamina and workrate. Ustinov is heavy and could use his weight to slow Pulev down once Pulev tires out. In terms of boxing skill Ustinov is lightyears behind Pulev. I see this 70:30 in Pulev's favor.
Ive heard and read so many different accts as to the true implications of this fight. Clearly Pulev has to be favored. He the more technically sound fighter. He has the better resume and he's younger and more athletic. I will say however, that Adamek and Pulev share and opponent. Walker. And Pulev looked not so good against the big man. Adamke OTOH...well.....he exposed Walker for what we all knew was his deficiency. As for the title implications of Pulev Ustinov....Ive read this was a semi final....meaning a final. Ive read that Solis was to fight the winner of Ustinov Pulev or Adamek/Walker. Ive read the IBF is giving Solis some sort of higher status, perhaps making the winner of Ustinov Pulev fight Adamek, then that winner fight Solis. Either way...one fight at a time, and this is an especially good one for the fans. Pulev shoudl box his way to a wide ud if Ustinov has any kindof chin, and hopefully Ustinov can at least make Pulev work for the big win.:think
