Has Wlad faced another fighter like Pulev, similar style maybe?

[Y0@NN]

wlad clearly has faster hands than pulev. pulev probably does have the better chin and gas tank tho

Chin is the only department where he edges Wlad. Yea he bounces on his toes, he's not slow and he's skilled but nowhere near Klitschko's level. Haye was a more dangerous threat imo.

He's gonna knock pulev out

I watched pulev fight joey abell and he got dropped

His foot was behind Pulev's foot and it was a flash knockdown anyway. No big deal, got up and finished him.

yea,,,he clearly tripped. pulev seems to have a good chin but wlads dented many other good chins. I think he stops pulev late

Can't see a stopage, just can't. Pulev has good eyes and Klitschko throws two punches really left and right.

Klitschko has been really getting worse offensively, he's been getting better at the clinch game and maybe that's why his offense is less than stellar. I don't even see him throwing hooks anymore.

I can picture "competitive first rounds" when Klitschko stays cautious then Pulev's giant head will keep eating brutal 1-2's until his corner stops the fight.

I dont think the ref counts to ten. I think it will be more of a mercy stoppage much like the chageav tko. wouldnt be surprised a bit tho if pulev lasted the 12 rounds either. yea,,,,its a shame wlad seems to have abandoned his hook. I dont think his clinching has really got worse tho. it was only the povetkin fight that it went totally overboard in his recent fights

[LA_2_Vegas]

Wlad's movement looked excellent in his last fight, obv the opponent was beyond limited and did nothing but I still left impressed with that aspect of the fight. I think he is going to do the same thing in this fight and be off to the side a little, step laterally, jab and keep out of the straight line that Pulev throws his shots. He doesn't change levels all that much defensively so avoiding the jab is going to be a hell of an issue. I don't think it will be difficult for Klitscho to discern his timing and start to anticipate where the punches are going after a couple of rounds.

Wlad UD. Pulev upset is very remote.
