Btw if you ve been to Bulgaria Pulev is pretty big there. He s always on tv and on par with Stoichkov as stardom. He s also had a much publicized relationship woth hot bulgarian singer Andrea Todorova.
Pulev is an international star of nearly the highest order I say nearly because "Diamond Boy" is more famous, but Pulev could ruin his party Saturday!
Wouldn't miss it for the world. Oddly enough, I'm leaning towards Omelette Charr actually pulling the upset. Pulev is the definition of inconsistent and he's getting pretty goddamn old, he's been having off nights more and more. So it wouldn't shock me if he had one more.
I'm looking forward to it, as well. If heavyweights fought four times a year instead of one, I probably wouldn't care as much. But you take what you can get. Both guys have had pretty weird careers. I'm just hoping for a good scrap. I'll be happy for either winner.
Actually... He's the definition of consistent. His whole career has been about putting on workman like performances(usually dull to watch) which have been enough to edge out every opponent he's faced save for Klitschko and Joshua.
For sure, the vast majority of his career. But he looked poor against Dinu early, got rocked by Forrest, and lost a few rounds early against Shervadzutskyi. Also whether you like the outcome or not, the Chisora match was way too close for comfort. A guy he utterly dominated a few years before. Also it's shameful that he couldn't stop Wawrzyk. He should win comfortably tomorrow, but Charr is also fairly consistent against guys not named Vitali, Mairis and Alexander. All three of which would beat Pulev as well.
Still fairly decisive workmanlike results. Anything can happen with two heavyweights in their 40s. But at their best Pulev was obviously a grade or two above Charr.
Anyone remember when Charr fought Vitali he would show up to the press conferences with all these championship belts that looked like he purchased off the internet
Not only did I not watch, I didn't even watch highlights today. I still don't know who won. Haven't seen a Charr fight since he got stopped by Vitali.
