    That first sentence... I instantly thought "he hasn't got that much of a chance.."

    :lol:

    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....

    Was coming here hoping to see something to make me think the upset happens.

    I guess not

    Just about no chance outside of an injury or a cut.

    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.
