Problem however is with the TV rights, no TV in Germany, for example, will have interest in broadcasting a match in Bulgaria. He was also asked to give some details about his weight, his highest to date, and he mention that he feels good this way. But I bet for the K fight he will no be 115
an 8 round stay busy fight, but whoever he fights will not prepare him for Wlad shame Pulev didn't try going the WBC route to get a fight with Stiverne or Vitali, much more winnable fights for him than Wlad
The saying is that you don't hook with the hooker but you can jab with the jabber. It's in fact ok to jab with the jabber, problem for Pulev is that probably he doesn't have enough power in his right hand to trouble Wlad. As Damian said he has way better chance against the aging Vitali.
Viadimir face can't tolerate much jabbing and that is going to be of help to Pulev. Do any of you think that Vitali is coming back to box - I highly doubt it
I love idiots who think Haye or even Wilder would 'easily' walk through Pulev. This is ridiculous, Pulev is a tough piece of work for any HW, even for Wlad.
Any chance Pulev could fight for the EBU title, before the Wlad fight? Would be great to see him in the ring with Chisora.
It will be Boytsov - Chisora most likely, as Pulev said, another Sauerland boxer will be fighting for the EBU.
Povetkin did the exact same thing. He sat on the IBF mandatory for over 2 years saying "I need one more fight before Klitschko (ad infinitum)" and the IBF bought it and let him fight cans until he no-showed the Klitschko presser and Wlad petitioned the IBF take his position away. The IBF would be stupid to let this happen again. Fighters shouldn't take part in eliminators if they know they aren't ready to take their shot immediately.
Every damn post you bring up Wilder. And what will Pulev KO WIlder with??? Pulev has zero punching power and his jab is overrated. WIlder has the power to KO Pulev.
