Anyway, Pulev's career was safe enough for him to remain credible at such age. It's a quite often phenomenon in boxing recently. Klitschkos and Povetkin are great examples of career durability, because they didn't have many grueling and damaging battles.

Klitschko, Povetkin, and Pulev. 39-41 year old men still in the top ten when AJ fought them, When this happens, its a sign the division is not in good shape, A few years before, Klitschko and Povetkin would have beaten AJ,

I don't think Pulev was in Povetkin or Klitschko's class, so this fight to me is more about who AJ is.

If AJ blows him out, the Fury fight will be harder to make.

If AJ struggles to win, then we will see the Fury fight.

A Pulev win = the division is shite

And speaking of Fury, aside from Wilder who very much looked like a fraud the last time out, who has be beaten since becoming Champion? He's avoiding top ten fighters, even the older ones.

Klitschko, Povetkin and Pulev emerged in a comparably weaker era, that's why they had few tough fights and were able to have so long careers. The nowdays' HW division seems to be better than in the mid and late 2000s and the first half of the 2010s.

Pulev is obviously not in Klitschko's class. Povetkin? They are about the same. Head-to-head I'd pick Povetkin.

Joshua seems to be in the higher class than Pulev. We'll find out soon.

Fury isn't avoiding anybody. It was him, who picked Wilder.

[Jeff_lacy_ko]

Povetkin is more skilled and has accomplished more than pulev. It isnt close

Ortiz is more skilled but pulev has accomplished more.

[Bard of Boxrec]

this fight to me is more about who AJ is.

You still need to learn more about who AJ is? He has the best resume in the division .

And you need to learn who he is against old, face first Pulev?

How much is DAZN in the States and does it include Joshua fight?

$19.99 p/m or you can pay for a full year $100 and yeh AJ fights are on.

[Jimmy2020]

$100/yr is great value.

[Ruthless-RKO]

$100/yr is great value.

Yh a few on here have got it.

[cormack]

I guess it's quite a limb to go out on, but I think Pulev wins a clear but uneventful decision.

hilarious

[bobcatbox]

Davies scorecard is really weird. But he makes a good point. Don’t see a Kuzmin lead though.

[jamesmcdonnell]

Ive just got a feeling joshua is going to come unstuck here. I know pulev is nothing special, but something about joshuas pre fight chat just doesnt convince me.


Wait for it, joshua will probably stop him inside a round.

Hughie Fury vs Mariusz Wach up next!

[lazboy]

I love an underdog and an upset. I also like strong fundamentals. I’m rooting for Pulev and I believe Pulev will give him problems for the first half but AJ will end up catching him. Big age difference and strength/power difference. Thinking It will be like AJ povetkin.

[Las Vegas boxing guy]

Any predictions on the Hughie Fury vs Wach fight?

Gatekeeper Wach is coming off a win over Kevin Johnson.

Fury scored a KO in his last outing since losing. a decision to Povekin.

[lazboy]

Wach looks like a 60 year old ex-con.

[bobcatbox]

Nasty headbutt and gash on Fury’s eye.

[Las Vegas boxing guy]

Round 5 update : Fury is clearly outworking Wach. An accidental head but from Wach has caused a large cut above Fury's left eye. It's a pretty bad cut.

3-1 Fury

[Las Vegas boxing guy]

The Hughie Fury vs Wach fight just ended. Hughies cut man did a great job. Fury outworked Wach throughout. Good action. I'm expecting a 9-1 type decision.

[Finkel]

I was bit surprised by the 100-90 card, but it was an easy to pick Fury in, who kept landing the right

[asmund]

I love boxing, but Hughie is soo boring to watch.

[Las Vegas boxing guy]

Lawrence Okolie (14-0, 11 KO's) vs Nikodem Jezewski (19-0-1, 9 KO's) co Main event up next!
