You may be right, but I can promise that the usual cast of characters tooting Pulev's horn with have plenty of excuses if he does lose. To me its a 50/50 fight that I would personly favor Kubrat slightly. If Pulev does win this same crowd will claim Jennings as another overhyped fighter...mark my words.
If Jennings beats Pulev.....

Of course. That's the nature of boxing fans.You may be right, but I can promise that the usual cast of characters tooting Pulev's horn with have plenty of excuses if he does lose.

But I will only judge it when they've fought more high-profile fighters.
In the heavyweight division, it really only takes one punch, even though it's a cliche. But anyone can be caught from a 230 pound guy and you will most likely go down.
I don't think it's a 50/50 fight. I mean I like Jennings, but I think Pulev is better. Especially at this stage. 65/35 in Pulev's favor if not 70/30. He just has all the physical advantages in this fight and I'd expect him to win. But both are undefeated so you can never tell.
But it's definitely a good fight to make - though maybe a little early for Jennings, but that will show on the night.Comment

I can't stand fighters like Malik Scott. He's clearly a skilled fighter, has a good reach and height, is in good shape but for some reason - he refuses to fight with any urgency or to sit down on his punches. As to the Glazkov fight, had Scott pressed his offensive a little harder he could've easily scored the KO. Instead, he coasted through the later rounds without engaging enough and let the fight slip out of his hands. He's like Kevin Johnson 2.0; a guy who has talent but will never take it to the next level because of a lack of killer instinct..
Wilder, with all his flaws, has that 'killer instinct' and has the power to back it up. That's why people are eagerly watching him rather than Malik ScottComment
