Sergey Kovalev vs. Tervel Pulev | Triller - May 14, 2022

[gregregegg]

Forrest did just enough at the end of that round to earn 3 more mins of beating.

Forrest is soooo tired i think id be a chance in with him at this point. weird how tired he is gas tank has always been decent.

pulev's one of these guys that i look at and wonder why he doesnt hit harder. big 245 pound dude with fast explosive looking hands, but his shots just dont seem to dent guys too much

Yeah, he is a conundrum, but he was never a slugger. Just an educated technician with one of the best jabs in the sport. Not sure why he's been fighting like this, but his earlier fights were sleep-inducing. The Dinu fight (outside of the Klitschko one prior) was the first time I saw Pulev in an exciting fight (for him that is).

Wonder what the scorecards will be... Probably 1 of them is.ridiculous

I wonder if theres a couple of 10-8s in there.

It's hard to see it not one-sided for Pulev.

[Mexi-Box]

Triller for real is like the Flea Market of boxing.

[Mexi-Box]

Do these Triller commentators even watch boxing? FFS, Shawn Porter is commentating here, and it sounds like a bunch of casuals. They're saying Pulev should fight Joshua as if it didn't already happen, and Pulev was completely non-competitive. There wasn't a second where he was in the fight.

[DrDuke]

Pulev got hurt in the 10th, but still took that round. Jerry fought bravely, Kubie was just on the other level.

[margaret thatcher]

forest looks almost as exhausted here as zhang did against him

Triller for real is like the Flea Market of boxing.

Accurate

[CMCanavessi]

Finally ended

[DrDuke]

Kubie Pu has ended the cinderella man story of Jerry.

[gregregegg]

Pulev showed more than i thought he would have left. bit of a shame he has only fought an average of 1 time per year for the last 6 years. probably could of been a few more fun matchups with him, he is a bit boring, but i dont mind a few quality boring guys scattered through the mix.

[margaret thatcher]

pulev's pretty good, just a bit shaky for the top guys i think though. doesnt take shots well

[CMCanavessi]

Would be a good stepping stone for newcomers like Hrgovic, Sánchez, Big Mak, etc...

[DrDuke]

Pulev is indeed looking credible even now. But there's no sense in outclassing the lesser opposition. Pulev should be thrown in a crossroad fight against some comer.

[DrDuke]

Would be a good stepping stone for newcomers like Hrgovic, Sánchez, Big Mak, etc...

Exactly.

[Mexi-Box]

Commentators hyped as though Pulev just defeated Daniel Dubois or something. It was Jerry Forrest, ffs. The story is more that Pulev isn't completely shot.

Now, if he did that to Dubois or Bakole, I'd say he deserves a shot at Joyce or Joshua/Usyk winner. Fedosov/Pulev still sounds like a good fight in the future. Pulev should stay more active.

[gregregegg]

Would be a good stepping stone for newcomers like Hrgovic, Sánchez, Big Mak, etc...

let him age another 12-18 months and send him in with Pencho Tsvetkov a young bulgarian heavy.

[Mexi-Box]

Pulev/Kovalev going to be a darkhorse, unexpected FotY candidate?

[Mexi-Box]

There goes the head monkey. Guy is running a Circus, and he's just burning investor cash. I can't see Triller lasting long. RIP anyone that wants to invest in that IPO.

[margaret thatcher]

its hard to say. tervel is really an unknown quantity as a pro vs anyone decent. and krusher is old + not a natural cruiser

could go down many different ways

[DrDuke]

Pulev/Kovalev going to be a darkhorse, unexpected FotY candidate?

I don't think so. Depends on the state of Kovalev though. I guess, he isn't that bad even now.

[Mexi-Box]

I will admit that is great matchmaking from Triller. I never would've thought to see these two in the ring together.

[Mexi-Box]

Wow Kovalev fills out well at CW.
