    Seriously, what he should do to find any success vs that monster?

    Pulev isn't a hard hitter, he's not known for quick legs and good footwork.

    Everything shows that AJ will stop him sooner than later.

    So what should Pulev do to be at least competitive for a few rounds?
    Your thoughts.

    Even then AJ will probably just cut right through him whenever he sees fit. If he wants ANY shot at winning it would be to gamble early like he did against Wlad.

    My guess is that Pulev calls it a day after this... That was probably his plan all along.

    He can hurt Joshua. If Whyte can hurt Joshua Pulev can too.

    This is how I see it but seriously if I was in his corner I'd be telling him to get to round five as AJ twice has just looked totally gassed against Whyte and Wlad and somehow gets a second wind,Pulev needs to take advantage when he gasses.
    Oh and look out for that uppercut lol

    Pulev should hire SOB's referee Tony Weeks, land a huge punch to Joshua's testicles, Weeks would stop the fight and call it a knockout for Pulev. SOB claims testicles blows are legal in boxing, esp. his personal referee Tony Weeks, a criminal cheating SOB!

    Jab, jab, jab! Stay on your toes and alert. If you can last 5 rounds against a Wlad who wasn't coming off a year and a half layoff and over 40... you can easily last against this guy.

    Go for the bladder shots.
    It will drop the guard and open up for right hand upstairs.
    It works really well for the p4p1.

    Maybe Pulev can pull a "Rahman" on Joshua?

    Honestly Pulev doesn't have anything to hurt Joshua with.

    He's not a big puncher so a lucky punch is unlikely.

    He doesn't move well so out boxing the taller man is unlikely.

    He has no inside game so taking the fight inside is a no go.

    He doesn't have a good left hook so the left hook counter for when Joshua drops his right hand is a no go.

    Pulev should just fight his fight, keep his hands up and keep the jab pumping, all he can do is delay the inevitable. Also pray Joshua injures himself or he gets a bad cut because barring an injury I can't see how Pulev wins.

    pulev has a pretty good jab to the body, think he made Ustinov quit with it?

    I'd go with that
