anthony joshua v kubrat pulev in cardiff wales ....predictions ?

It should be less both because of Josua's stamina issues plus his power and offensive style and Pulev last performances.

I'd love it to be a competitive fight but it sounds like a tune up fight and adding another known name to AJ's record.

 

Joshua in 8!!

 

Pulev is getting knocked stiff in Cardiff.

 

so wait...joshua vs Pulev is confirmed for Cardiff then?

 

Joshua inside 4.

 

AJ KO in 7 rounds.

Pulev is better than anything than on Wilders record.

 

Should be a very easy fight for Joshua, Pulev presents absolutely no problems.

 

Pulev does not have the power or the defense to last very long, perhaps Joshua will carry him for a few rounds to please the fans...............

 

I'd agree with this EXCEPT that Pulev has been looking like poo lately. If he can regain his best form he will give AJ problems but as it stands now, Joshua makes short work of him and hits the showers early.

 

Whilst Anthony may be patient early on, I think he will struggle with Pulev's jab in the first round or two. I think after that he steps up and proceeds to stop him in the third or fourth round. Pulev hasn't got the power to hold Joshua off, allowing Joshua simply to turn up the pressure and go for the stoppage. I don't think it would be a one punch knockout like Wlad's against Pulev because he hasn't quite got that power imo, but rather a referee stoppage after a number of hard, accurate and fast combos.

 

Joshua is more patient now, we won't see him try and steam roll Pulev like he did against Whyte. He'll take a round or 2 to have a look at Pulev, but then he'll go through the gears and Pulev has nothing to keep Joshua off him. Joshua KO's him in 3-4 rounds.

 

this is going to be a lot more competitive than you guys think

 

Honestly, AJ could finish this fight in round 1 if he went for it.

But he will probably feel him out for 2 rounds and finish it in rounds 3-4.

CST mentioned round 9 or less, if this gets to round 9, AJ is in trouble.
