Anthony Joshua v Luis Ortiz soon to be announced.

[Marlo Stanfield]

It'll sell out Cardiff. Easy. Selby Quigg on the undercard would be nice. Screw Quiggs lined up eliminator in Monaco

[Stuarty]

I like this fight. Pulev is pretty good technically and fairly mobile and quick for a big lad. If he's on song he should ask a few questions of AJ. I still expect an AJ KO though.

[Oiky]

Yea, Pulev will likely give AJ some stick, but ultimately will get KOd

[Mark Lloyd]

Hard to hype a guy Wlad battered silly - who's just outpointed Kevin Johnson who's been done for 5 years.

On the other hand, he was quite dominating against Chisora, while Whyte struggled.

Chisora had a lot more ambition in the whyte fight IMO

Agreed...totally different fighter.

[crusader]

It's easy to look like you have extra ambition when you can hit the other guy more. Pulev's jab neutralized Chisora for most of their fight and Whyte had no comparably effective tool. Whyte also took the shots surprisingly poorly...

Quigg Selby is unlikely though I would really like to see it.

[stujones]

This fine is absolutely fine.... Wilder aside, I cannot think of anyone better really who isn't retired or suspended.

[Oiky]

Yea nothing wrong with a Pulev fight

Yep was more wishful thinking. Warren has had a 'mare putting the Williams Smith rematch on the same date (in Newcastle of all places)

Newcastle decision is baffling - both wanted home advantage and wouldn't budge - so we picked neutral venue (miles from both fighters) and now we have 70,000 in the Millenium with PPV the same night. Place will be pretty quiet as AJ carries views whatever you think about PPV and if the cards stacked I wouldn't be surprised if it was binned.

True the clash with Joshua is a disaster. Regardless of where that fight is ( I'm not convinced it is Cardiff) Joshua attracts views and is the one fighter you don't want to clash with.

Keeping this date the only available suitable venue for them would be Cardiff ice arena. The fight should be in Cardiff. Liam Smith isn't popular. Where as Liam Williams is.

But yeah if Joshua gets confirmed on Oct 28th I think someone gets "injured"

[Mimmy]

Well well well.

Breaking news. Pulev doesnt want the fight in October. Looks now likey AJ v Ortiz.

[Tanzio]

What odds you laying me?

[sweetscience]

i had to double check the author of the thread then when the title changed

he did have a part to play in the change though, so fair play

[Pukka Cheese]

Ortiz is still the one to avoid IMO...

AJ to drop the WBA and fight Wilder instead.

Hearn has clearly stated it is Pulev then Ortiz, that is the pecking order. If Pulev doesnt want the fight and AJ were to drop the WBA it could only be considered a duck and would look awful.
Hearn would attempt to pay Ortiz off to keep the WBA and open up a unification with Wilder I reckon...

[Cyclops]

Where's this coming from, then? A cursory Google doesn't turn up anything.

[samwbr]

It'll be a Whyte rematch. Easy sell and an easy win.

apparently Hearn has put it out on twitter, Whyte rematch it is !
