Chisora will struggle with the jab and accuracy and I doubt he can hurt Pulev, although he stands a chance of nicking it on points if a) his chin holds up and b) he turns up in good enough shape to throw enough shots. More likely he doesn't.

Pulev's power is pretty average and I don't think his chin is that great either.

Pulev if he's on his game will beat Chisora easily.

Pulev couldn't beat Thompson easily. I don't see why he should be able to beat Chisora easily.

I actually think Chisora can pull this one off. I can see him crashing one of his loopers over Pulev's low left hand.

From what I recall of that fight, Pulev won 9 of the 12 rounds. He lost the third 3 but then took over from that. I'm sure I remember seeing crusader say something similar when that topic has been broached before but I might be wrong.

But his power will be enough to discourage this version of Chisora (Fury's was, he isn't a big puncher) and Chisora doesn't have enough power to make Pulev's chin a factor.

Chisora couldnt even stop Nascimento who's a journeyman stiff who the likes of fury, Whyte and Parker knocked out in good fashion. Parker had a little trouble early on but stopped him well.

Fury hits harder than Pulev.

I don't think Pulev's chin is that bad anyway. When has he ever been truly hurt in a fight anyway bar Klitschko? Even if that fight he took some seriously heavy knockdowns before he was finished for good. He fought a dumb fight in that matchup as it was. He's normally up on his toes but against Wlad he decided to adopt the approach of being more aggressive and standing right in front of Wlad and it backfired spectacularly.

In his last fight he looked a little sharper to me. There was a little more zip in his punches. More intensity. I hadn't seen that from Chisora since the Haye fight.

I get the sense his new trainer has given him a kick up the rear...

That was an embarrassment of a fight. Dunno how Pulev is post Wlad but he had an excellent jab just Wlads was a lot better.

Pulev by ko
Del Boy best days behind him
Think he will fight helinius instead

Saying that though, I thought Wlad still looked very uncomfortable dealing with Pulev's jab up until the knockdowns started coming. He certainly wasnt having it all his own way. Like you say though, Pulev's jab is very good. He might not be the biggest puncher going, but he's technically solid and a good all rounder.

I'd agree with that. Up to the Wlad fight he was also mentally tough, we'll see if that devastating knockout will have psychological repercussions.
