Pulev's jab contains ALOT of power. Look at the speed of it and take into account that the man behind the jab weights in at 245+ pounds... It's nasty as hell. Thus, Chisora's got great facial skin and bone structure around the eyes: [url]https://www.google.se/search?newwindow=1&tbm=isch&q=eye+bone&spell=1&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjv48jK3ePKAhVHCiwKHfp8C_8QBQgZKAA&dpr=1.5&biw=911&bih=401#imgrc=nZGi9UCiCOF2JM%3A[/url] For instance this is how Chisora's face looked after ten rounds of beating in a complete missmatch against Fury:[url]http://i4.mirror.co.uk/incoming/article4722055.ece/ALTERNATES/s615/JS51942346.jpg[/url] Compare it with Wladimir Klitschko who only took 52 punches to the eye region which translates to only 4.3 per round... In contrast to Chisora - after that little amount of beating Wlad took - he somehow still managed to clearly look worse than Chisora nevertheless: [url]http://e2.365dm.com/15/11/768x432/wladimir-klitschko-tyson-fury_3382857.jpg?20151129093637[/url] Indeed? But how can it come then? Simply because both Klitschko-brothers greatest handicap is their tendency to get cut, agree? But Chisora doesn't have that handicap, he could go after Pulev for the whole fight. I would like to see an ****ysis of Klitschko-brothers taken punches to their heads thru their whole careers. And I'm convinced that they didn't take as many head punches as they did against either Lewis or Fury for their whole careers - And that's the only reason why they didn't get cut more often.
I think if Chisora bothers to train and shows up at 240lbs or below then he has a good chance. Pulev doesn't have the quickest feet he'll struggle to keep an active Chisora at arms length like Fury did. I think Chisora has a style that could give Pulev problems. His hooks will go around his mummy style guard and his pressure could see Pulev forced to clinch a lot. Pulev also doesn't have the power to get Chisora's respect. But as I said conditioning will be an issue for Chisora. If he shows up overweight like he has for recent fight he simply won't have the work rate or mobility to pressure Pulev. But I'm going to give Chisora the benefit of the doubt and say he outpoints Pulev.
Good post. Chisora gets far too much credit for his "win" over one armed Helenius. Had the fight been postponed, Helenius wouldnt have further injured himself and he'd be a HW titlist today rather than Fury, Wilder, or Martin. Though I doubt he'd have the tools defensively to outbox Wlad and limit him to 10 punches per round and he'd lose. :think
I tend to agree with you:good Chisora is a teak tough fighter who enters the ring in order to win,but I also think that he gets far too much credit for his close fight with an injured Helenius.And I am not even sold on the wayward Swedish fighter anyway. The African is a good and decent fighter but he cant hold a candle to Pulev in terms of experience,known scalps and God given talent. However,he is mentally tough and comes to fight and win. Good fight for Pulev and hopefully quite a pleasure for our sore eyes within the first few rounds. As soon as Pulev has figured him out the fight will be quite one-sided and the Bulgarian will dominate every round with his classy jab.
