i like both guys but i'll be cheering for rogan. to be honest i think pulev is going to crush rogan. rogan is on level with guys like firtha,gavern,quezada,rossy,guinn,& fields. they are all C+ level fighters.these guys are all stepping stones to the top 20.they all can pull the occasional upset but should be beaten by better fighters.pulev having beaten rossy by KO & a decision over guinn convinces me he's ready to move now! he should win an easy decision if not stop rogan.this fight is 12 rounds so anything can happen.3 things concern me about pulev.first of all his weight continues to slowly creep up but its only 12 over his debut but still he's 32.secondly whats his chin like? much like povetkin he has never been hit by a big puncher.my last issue is stamina.he has never been past 8 rounds nor has he ever had a fight scheduled longer then 8.i have always said these 8 round fights for established fighters is not good.i have seen so many 9 & 10 rd knockouts because of fatigue.8 rds is for career undercarders.this is only in europe.in the states an established name doesnt fight 8 rds too often especially in the heavyweight division.those extra 2 rounds can be huge.pulev may have to extend himself an extra 4 rounds.will be interesting to see how he would handle that.rogan has gone 10.this is a very intrigueing fight but my gut says pulev should have little difficulty with rogan.i look forward to the fight.
