Pulev is way, way, way past it. He ain't putting much efforts nowadays too. He is just all for the money. Chisora could very well spark him.
Yeah the more I think about it you could be right. Pulev has been phoning it in against some bums lately on bogus Triller cards for easy money.
I feel bad for Chisora going from guaranteed KO win in an opponent in Kownacki to one of top 10 HWs in the division that has already beaten him. Pulev comfortably beat both Del, Hughie and recently Forest too (who was coming off being robbed a win against Franklin and earned draws against Zhang and Hunter..
The fight will play out like almost every Chisora fight: He starts well, pressures the **** out of Pulev and then gets tired, gasses out and gets outboxed.
Pretty sure they will market this with how "close" the first fight was, while knowing full well those were horrendous scorecards. Still, it might be somewhat closer if Pulev's decline is worse as Chisora's, but I can't see Chizzo win without some shenannigans.
Chisora has improved recently. He won the first parker fight IMO. Didn't do bad against Usyk. I'm going for Chisora KO.
I have about as much interest in this fight as I do in collecting stamps. Two past their prime plodders, sweating like Bison, mauling and stinking the place out.
