Klitschko was also old and slow, but almost KOed Joshua. AJ should end this with a left hook, but if Pulev rocks him like Ruiz it might take 9-10 rounds.
Joshua I don't believe will ever underestimate an opponent again after the Ruiz loss so expecting him to be fully mentally and physically prepared for this. AJ TKO
I give him a slim chance(very slim).......he would have to catch AJ early if not he’s going to be easily beaten.
Right hand counter over the jab will start Pulev's demise. Might take a few rounds to time it because his jab is awkward in terms of where he throws it from....
AJ comes in dreaming about all the ££££ he can make fighting Fury. While AJ is distracted, the Bulgarian blasts AJ into Bolivian with a jab- straight right combo. Second round. You gotta believe.
But this might cause him to fight gun shy and behind a jab. This actually gives Pulev a chance since he has a good jab.
I somehow don't know how to evaluate Pulev's behaviour. It's sort of "maximum relaxation". This guys is confident, in good mood, happy, chilled out. I don't know but it underlines some banana skin potential in him. He seems to have got into Joshua's head after the weigh in. Still I expect Joshua to win by KO within 8. I guess Pulev will dictate the pace of the fight early on, maybe pushing forward to put pressure on Joshua.
