Mahmoud Omeirat Charr vs. Kubrat Venkov Pulev & Gleb Bakshi vs. Juan Antonio Llanes RBR.

Good for him.. still not a real world champion

 

Well matched main event.

Both guys were old, inactive, and neither could punch hard enough to hurt the other bad enough to cause a stoppage. All the rounds were competitive, but Pulev landed more in just about all of them. I'm glad Pulev won in front of his hometown crowd. I'm glad Charr came to fight and landed a bunch of his own shots. Both guys seemed pleased with themselves at the end. The crowd went home happy.

I enjoyed watching it. And someone finally knocked off Charr and ended the ridiculous WBA Regular belt "saga" of court cases.

All that said, whoever gets Pulev in the ring first is the new WBA "Regular" Champ.

I'd take 13 of the current 15 WBA contenders to beat Pulev.

The only two guys in the WBA's current top 15 who Pulev could beat are Cassius Chaney (who just lost to Hunter) and, actually, Murat Gassiev ... who light-punching Otto Wallin totally dominated (despite the cards) with a jab alone.

I think Pulev could box their ears off. That said, even Gassiev and Chaney would have a puncher's chance against Pulev.

Whoever signs to fight him next buys the WBA Regular belt.

Jarrell Miller blows out Pulev in a couple rounds. Lenier Pero should go for it. Fabio Wardley, too. They'd all win handily.

First man who gets Pulev to sign the contract wins that belt.

 

Can Manuel Charr just go away now?

 

Gassiev was re-injured against Wallin. He looked better recently. You know this because you have been told. It is another part of your campaign to disrespect all things Usyk because you said that he was "cashing out" against Joshua and said that he only won the cruiserweight tournament because it wasn't in the best division.

 

Diamonds are forever.

 

Hearn and AJ are on the phone, considering the Pulev rematch.

'Pulev is in form But if AJ could do it, not only would he be a three time world champion, but that would be four wins over gold medallists, surely the HW record.'

Later, in negotiations with Fury.

'Fury wanted 50/50 but we have a championship belt and he has none, so we think he needs to accept his position and take the smaller cut. Our offer is very generous.'

Later, when fight doesn't happen.

'Honestly, Fury never wanted the fight, just like Wilder.'

 

STFU. Seriously. I watched the fight. I enjoyed it. I praised both before and after. Said I'd be happy for either regardless of who won. And based on the last fights I saw of Chaney and Gassiev, I think Pulev would beat them by boxing.

But I even said they could out punch Pulev

How do you take this and twist it into a "campaign" against Usyk, ffs?

How the hell did you make that freaking leap?

Make up a phoney argument with someone else.

 

No phony arguments...you know the threads.

 

Terrible between Pulev and Charr. Imagine paying to watch that. Now Pulev will claim he's a world champion, and some of the fools won't know any better.

 

Yes..

That WBA Regular belt is in Pulev on loan....

He'll have it until next year unless they give him champ in recess for years smh

 

If no one said this, it would've triggered the apocalypse, imo.

 

I haven't even been able to muster up the will to seek out a 5 minute highlight of this.

 

Implying there are five minutes worth highlighting...

 

Imagine two fighters, in the prime of their lives going to to toe for 12 rounds, leaving nothing on the table, at times a chess match, and at other times a phone booth war.

Honestly though it was ok, just a really limited guy against a more capable but older past it guy. Not the worst thing I've ever seen but I wouldn't go out of my way to watch this.
