    Pulev looks really in good shape, might be a potential banana skin, but I think Povetkin was the much more dangerous banana skin for Joshua and he did the job. So he should finish Pulev by KO, given the fact that Pulev is somewhat a weak version of Klitschko and Joshua beat Klitschko already.

    Age is also a factor. Pulev can't take those punches. He dominated Hughie Fury all fight long, but at one point he got clipped and got wobbly for a moment. I see no other outcome but a KO by Joshua.

    Pricey has just informed us that he knows Pulev well having trained with him and validates the notion that the Bulgarian is a very tough man with a powerful left jab. David looked concerned for AJ and described an horrific left hand body assault being carried out on the mentally weak conquest of the tit-laden taco eater.

    Thus it has confirmed: Pulev by Jab KO.

    Pulev will need to hurt Joshua early to gain his respect. Otherwise he's going to get blown out.

    Do you think Pulev can pull an Andy Ruiz type of upset?

    I'd say Joshua by stoppage, but i also wonder if he may be extra cautious like in his rematch with Ruiz, either just to ensure the big paydays keep coming, or on the slim chance that he actually wants the Tyson Fury superfight to happen.

    Andy Ruiz was young and destroyed Joshua. Pulev is 39 years old and shot like other opponents which AJ defeated. And Pulev is worst of them.

    AJ puts him down in 1.

    At this age?

    No.

    But if AJ comes in with the idea to box and Pulev gets his respect early and it turns into a jabbing match he might outpoint AJ. One way to give AJ the idea to box is for Pulev to make him respect his power. I think Pulev can hit pretty hard if he wants to, so its possible he can sting AJ early and ward him off steaming in.

    Honestly what I think will happen is that after a short feeling out, AJ is going to try test Pulev's chin and he's going to blast him out. Much more likely.

    Pulev is ancient. If Joshua doesn't KO him he is officially a hype job

    AJ via brutal knock out in 2 rounds.

    AJ knocks him down in the first round and Pulev barely gets out of the round. Then gets finished off in the 2nd round.

    Everyone is mightily pissed off, some will say he came in for the pay day and hung his chin out to dry.

    But it will be applauded as AJ is back and sell the Tyson Fury fight in 2021.

    That is my prediction.

    Pulev has an average chin.

    My bad i meant good heart or good recovery. The amount of devastating shots klitschko landed would have ended any fighter but he still got up until the end. And it seems pulev has gotten better since then
