I don't think Fury would last a round.

Brilliant stuff from Wlad. Just when you thought he was in trouble he whacked him out of there. He is one of the Greatest of all time in the Heavyweights like it or not!

A few decent challengers knocking about if Wlad wants to go back to the States. Not sure how exciting a Shannon Briggs fight would be though :wink:

I reckon he could last three if he played it safe. If he came out looking to go for it from the off he would do well to see out the first 3 minutes

I think essentially that Pulev got knocked out because he came to fight, he could have lasted the distance if he got on this bike and didn't try to win. Nice to see VK rise to the challenge.

I wonder what we'd be thinking of Wlad had he been doing that for the six years.

In fairness as soon as a lot of people feel the jab and aren't willing to risk getting inside it makes it very hard for VK to look good. Who can look good against a Haye type on his bike? I agree VK is often too content to win within his comfort zone but needs to take credit for stepping in when Pulev tried his luck.

I think he'd have got chinned along the way if he had. He fits his tactics to the opponent. Pulev is not a puncher (relatively) so Wlad knew he could be a little more cavalier than normal to put on a show for the Yanks.

It seems that on twitter Klitschko really can't win. The poor guy looks great and people point out he took a few, he takes care of the guy and Pulev is down graded...

Great win, cracking KO. Well done to both for that one.

Felt like a heavyweight title fight too, from start to finish. Very, very rare feeling that is!

That's because most people on Twitter are as thick as mince and twice as cheap.

I agree, too many do go to survive. Pulev deserves a fair amount of credit for continuing to fight that way after the first, although I was disappointed Wlad let him out of the first, he was there for the taking. It would just have been nice to have seen him take more risks over the years to get people out of there, he'd have been much more marketable to the Americans if he had. He looked destructive tonight, and Pulev has a decent chin, I just hope we see more of that Wlad.

Agreed Vlad knows his weakness and doesn't take unnecessary risks.

Decent fight, fair play to Pulev for his efforts as he took some decent shots but still kept coming until...Boom! Great finish from Wlad, you've got to hand it to him...
