The more Pulev fights i watch the more i am convinced he has nothing to offer but a solid jab. Sadly Wlads is better. I predict PAIN
Im going with a KO also. Wlad has an easier time hitting taller opponents with the right cross. I haven't seen to much great head movement by Pulev, although he does have decent reaction time which he uses to jump back from incoming punches. I really do feel Wlad will catch him with it earlier in the fight then later. But who knows, Wlad usually comes out a little more timid in the opening rds just feeling out his opponents
Yes he is plenty guilty of that but in this case Pulev doesnt lunge forward with punches and doesnt duck low, he stands straight up and looks for nothing but the jab. Wlad will do the same but there is a murderous right cross behind it and also a left hook that WILL put Pulev's lights out. :deal
That sounds about right, as much as I am rooting for Pulev. Wlad has a straighter jab and right, and is not afraid to initiate. Pulev a lot of times will just stand in front of you and paw until he figures a way to get in, and against Wlad that's not gonna cut it. Wlad does everything a little better than Pulev plus has the experience to back it up. If Pulev kind of gets loose in the fight and somehow hurts Wlad then it could be interesting, but it's not too likely.
