    Pulev takes a wide decision or stops Sprott late. Lean more towards a PTS victory.

    Pulev has (relatively!) decent hand and foot speed for the current crop of HW's, this is going to cause Sprott some troubles. Sprott is done, anyways.

    Personally I don't think Pulev's all that, he seems similar to Edmund Gerber without the power. Very one paced and doesn't throw many combos and with little movement. I expect Sprott to give him a good fight while taking him the distance. Will probably have a few pound on Pulev to win on points.

    With his minor power levels he's also a pretty terrible finisher. Did you see the Rossy (Rossi?) fight? :lol:

    Must have been an English ref for that fight. Two punch combo and he stops the fight.

    :lol:

    Pulev relatively wide UD. Sprott is shot. Pulev isn't a genuine contender.
