Kubrat Pulev vs. Wladimir Klitschko

I agree Ivan, but do you really think that Pulev is going to cut Wladimir's face? The possibility of doing significant damage on cuts is very small, you can't rely on that. However I believe that he is capable of reaching Wlad.

Pulev has the jab, footwork, good sense of distance and many other things, but I believe that the experience will be an important factor in this fight. While Pulev is an excellent jabber himself, he can't outjab Wladimir, that's not happening, but his jab is definitely going to bring problems for Klitschko. Pulev is also pretty quick and his reflexes are very good, so I'm sure that he will be able to make Wladimir miss very often.

Ultimately, I think that Wladimir is going to win a comfortable decision, but not by beating the crap out of his opponent as usual. I expect very cautious Wladimir outjabbig Pulev most of the rounds. That's the most likely outcome in my opinion. And surely Pulev has the better chance that the others, but I can't see him winning.

Not sure if this means the fight is happening next for sure.

 

One difference you seem to be glossing over is the fact that you are comparing the 2008 version of Tony Thompson (Age 36) vs. Wlad compared to the 2013 version (Age 41) vs. Pulev. If you recall, the rematch was much less competitive than the first matchup.

 

pulev will beat wlad tko in 9 rds on cuts/ you heard it here first

 

Wlad throws Pulev round like a rag doll, the ref let's him get away with it and he wins by late TKO

 

Klitschko has all the skills Pulev has but Pulev does not have all the skills Klitschko has. The big Ukrainian by decision. Maybe via stoppage if Pulev's jab is countered by a Klitschko right hand a few times.

 

Vladimir Klitschko by TKO or KO!!!!!!!

 

Why does so many think Wlad will lose by cuts?
The only fight that had to be stopped by cuts was a massive headbut that caused a ugly cut between the eyebrows?

 

Pulev is IMO the besteht contender out there. He is very fast for his size, good footwork, great Jab, akward, good chin and his best asset, he is mentally very strong, he has a real champion mentallity. I think it will be wlads toughest fight. Wlad will prevail but it will be tough. UD 8-4

 

Pulev is in for a brutal beat down. He brings nothing to worry Klitschko. Pulev = Chageav II

 

Pulev will give. Vlad toughest fight remember it!!! Vlad fought only b level the past few years pulev os a level and vlad will have to digg deeper to beat him
