Whyte vs Pulev - 21 July at the O2 Arena

Just made a post in the british where i asked wtf is the point of kubrat pulev

You said it better though.

 

Agree with this.

Hope this is confirmed. Good to see the top ranked guys facing each other. Tough ask for Whyte, he deserves some credit for the ambition, more so if he pulls it off

 

I thought the IBF mandated this fight, not the WBC.

 

Pulev is awful, Whyte will splatter him like he did Lucas Browne.

 

Props to Whyte for taking such a dangerous fight, and not sitting on his Wbc mandatory. I still favour Pulev in this fight by decision, the battle of the jabs will be deciding factor.

 

I think Whyte will beat Pulev if he can make a dog fight and Pulev isn’t allowed to hold as much

 

Considering Wilder fans consider Whyte 'no threat' and a 'bum'......

They're desperate to see him lose.


Any neutral wants a Whyte to dominate, impress, and look like a real threat to Joshua/Wilder.......

Pulev's future doesn't contain as much longevity.

 

Whyte better not try his gangster roadman threats in the press conferences and weigh ins with Pulev. Pulev has legit Eastern European gangster connects all over Europe, Whyte's posse of Brixton roadmen can't do ****, these Pulev connects will have nerve gas and radioactive polonium.

 

Pulev last 5 opponents:

- 37 yr old Kevin Johnson who lost 7 of his last 12 fights before fighting Pulev
- 36 yr old Samuel Peter who only fought twice in the last five years before facing Pulev
- Dereck Chisora
- 39 yr old Maurice Harris who had a fight record of 26-20-3 before fighting Pulev
- 41 yr old George Arias who lost two of his last three fights before facing Pulev and then losing another two fights afterwards so overall losing five or his last six fights

lmao

I give Whyte only credit here if he gonna stop him like Wlad did, prob not in the first half of the fight but in the mid/late rounds otherwise Whyte gets ZERO credit for a W here vs a guy who fought ONE solid opponent since losing to Wlad.

Pulev is shot, he has zero motivation to do anything significant in the division and prob wants a solid payday here with Eddie behind Whyte and Matchroom as the event holder.

This is a weak fight and a joke.

Whyte should fight Ortiz if he wants to face a real opponent.

 

What happened with the purse bid , today was the deadline set by the IBF ?
