Andriy Rudenko/Mike Mollo rod 7,Rudenko was ahead on all cards untill stoppage.With his weight for this fight,he equaled his lightest weight in his career,231 and 3/4 pounds.
Pulev beat Chisora via SD.Not great performance by Pulev.Joshua will walk trough him.Pulev's chin looks to be gone.Too bad Chisora didn't knock him out in that 9 round.He stunned Pulev three times heavy in that round.Props to Chisora for being in decent shape for this one.He gave his all.He still is competetive but it's time to retire for him.Pulev have to retire if he loses to Joshua by ko. P.S.Pre fight Fury visited Chisora in his dressing room and gave his support.At the fight on tv he said he would face Chisora for a third time if he would of won.After SD decision loss to Pulev in a post fight Chisora said he was disopointed by his performance and said he will be back to training again.
I think only Fury,Povetkin and Wladimir can beat Joshua.Fight against Pulev would be a bad defense because I don't see how Pulev will be comptetive against Joshua.He would ko Wilder clean if they ever fight.There are vunerabilities in him and I don't rate his arm punches.He always comes with one gameplan so someone will outbox him eventually.His chin is his weakest spot.Tactics for each fight too I don't even know why he needs trainer he even said he trains himself.He doesn't fight smart but is effective in what he do
If Austin has ANYTHING left in the tank Ruiz will have his hands full here. The Austin who fought Stiverne decisions Ruiz. That was almost 5 years ago though...
I think Adamek/Molina was a part of the small IBF tournament too, Pulev might fight Molina to determine the next mando, after Parker/Takam winner gets his shot.
Lot of ifs about Ruiz Jr if he gets his head together,if he loses weight,if he is skillfull enough to beat top heavyweights.
