Wladimir Klitschko vs. Kubrat Pulev

[Foreign Soil]

A good fighter based on what?
All he has is a jab with no variety.
He is cement footed, he don't move his head, he has no lateral movement.
No defense at all, his chin is way too high, he pulls back in straight lines.

The is first class garbage. What is supposed to be good about him?
Why can't Wlad fans keep it real instead of embarrassing yourselves talking up these opponents which are clearly horse****?

You're sad as hell. You talk up pure bums like Fury and fighters who have fought no one yet, like Wilder and Joshua and want to try to devalue the clear #2 HW. Nobody is saying Pulev is great, but he's a lot better than you're giving credit for, especially if you're going to turn around and say crap like Fury beats the guy. "peeleft:

Why do you think I'm mad? I just asked the question because this fight wasn't any different from his last few.

Maybe I was missing something, but I'm more inclined to believe ppl just haven't been watching Wlad recently.

How is this not any different lol, he took his chances and he was throwing very dangerous shots he took his chances to land.
If you don't think Pulev is good why don't you watch his previous fights and watch what he does after this loss because he is not a bum like some have been saying, his chin is testament to how much heart he has you wouldn't see many of the past greats of the heavyweight division take those shots and get up from it.

It's the same hate formula guys like dan_cov always spew.

Opponent looks good before the fight.
Opponent will beat Wlad.
Wlad dominates opponent.
Opponent is a bum.
Opponent was always a bum.

Pathetic logic.

Show me where I have picked against Wlad in my history of being here.

I can't imagine Fury not getting KO'ed.

Only guys with a big punch have any chance of an upset.

And that's still a FAT chance.

Point is, you cannot understand that it's Wladimir who does this to his opponents.

You cannot tell me that every single opponent goes in there with him unprepared, planning not to move. Planning not to fight.

Wth do you think these guys are doing in the months leading up to the fight?

Pulev is a lot better than Dan's giving him credit for but Fury's better than you're giving him credit for.

Very good win for Wlad tonight.

Mark my words the only time a heavyweight boxer will get his due credit is when he beats Wladimir, its a shame because if the HW division was still dominated by American boxers we wouldn't hear the same harsh treatment of these professional boxers.

You just see an amazing performance by Wladimir against the second best heavyweight in the world and the only thing you can think of is how to discredit Wladimir great win... Okay, whatever makes you sleep easier at night

Yeah, it's obvious. If you're not American or British, you're clearly hated at HW. Funny that neither boxing juggernaut can produce a good enough HW to compete.

[soul_survivor]

I think he froze in front of Klitschko, he resorted to being a tough guy instead of a boxer. He didn't fight loose like he normally does. Great win for Wlad though. I thought he was outjabbed even buckled in the first round from a jab and two second later lands a lunging left hook. I mean that's a crazy shot he pulls off for such a big guy. Wlad should be in the top 3 pound for pound.

come on, have u seen him fight before? pulev is always this slow, just watch him fight old man thompson.

but yeah, that power would get anybody.

Why do you continually follow me making up bull**** I haven't said?

Where have I talked up Fury or Wilder for that matter? The only time I've come close to such a thing is saying they both beat Pulev which is blatantly obvious.

No nobody said he was great but about 15% picked him by K.O which is obsurd and was claiming he was this great talent which he absolutely is not.

Although Pulev has his limitations, he is a good fighter. He has a decent amateur background and as a pro has got some decent wins and was ranked legit number 1 by various sources. Hating on him now is unfair and people have got to understand it is understandable a lot of a fighter's attributes go out of the window when you are facing an ATG like Wlad. Just because someone's limitations are put into the spotlight v a GREAT, doesn't mean they are bad fighters, they just aren't on the same level. Pulev has a great jab and at times was outjabbing someone with an all time great jab.

Sadly for Pulev, he forgot some basics like head and foot movement because when you fight Wlad you are preoccupied worrying about his power. Recipe for disaster.

But let us be fair, this was a good win v a solid guy, just the fact he doesn't have the whole package of a great fighter shouldn't be to his discredit. I mean, which BAD fighters or AVERAGE fighters exist who have good head and foot movement and skills and power...we know Pulev isn't great, so these kinds of traits shouldn't even be expected.
