Kubrat Pulev comeback against George Arias

At least he's back...

 

I just saw Arias hasn't been stopped for over a decade... he's the Brazilian Wlad Klitschko :bbb

 

Kubrat needs to be more active. He's in his prime right now and should fight every 3-4 months. I hope he ditched his Buglarian team and entourage because they didn't prepare him well for the Wlad fight. His gameplan was awful.

Jennings (a guy who's been a part-time janitor until 4 years) did much better against Wlad than Pulev did (an amateur world champion). Game plans and preparation do make a difference.

 

Good to hear he's not retired. Since he mostly fights in Europe he will probably be targetting the Teper vs Helenius winner. That would be a pretty good fight.

 

I think they will give him some easy gimme fights for a year or two before he gets anyone like Helenius or Teper.

 

Reasonable choice of oppoenent for Pulev. He's been off almost a year and got ko'ed pretty bad his last fight. Arias isn't on Pulev's level at all but should give him some rounds.

Pulev is still one of the top heavyweights out there, after an easy fight or two I hope he gets right back in with the other top heavies.

 

He will be 35 soon. As someone with an amateur background he can't waste more time fighting tune ups. He should be back on track asap. I do believe he can beat both Teper and Helenius if he's physically and mentally in shape. He's very good, easily a top 5 HW.

 

Good guy to get some rounds in against. He does need to fight again pretty quickly after this fight. Hopefully he'll be be back in feb of March.

 

Glad to hear he's back. I thought he was going to retire. He took a vicious beating from Klitschko.

 

I agree with you. But after the destruction Pulev suffered at the hands of Wlad Kalle Sauerland was on record as saying "Maybe the Wlad fight was a tad too early" :rofl

So that tells me they will go back to easy street.

 

The guy coming off a loss to Hughie Fury:huh

 

Not really. He took less than a quarter of the damage Wach and Povetkin took and they bounced back straight away.

Pulev lost that fight himself.

Anybody will be brutally KO'd if they just stand in one spot with their arms flailing in the open.
