Wladimir Klitschko vs. Kubrat Pulev

[TriMastiki]

Get ready to watch Wlad being bullied for the first time in his career. He doesn't have the power, the speed, the technical versatility, the stamina to match the Cobra. Nor does he have the guts for it. He won't even go the distance: TKO/KO in one of the last three rounds.

A better chance than I gave Haye. Maybe 25/75.

haye at least has power although no boxing skill. pulev the fat oaf may have boxing "skills" as a fat man but that quickly changes when faced with someone actually good. he will finally feel as fat as he looks against wlad.

didn't even realize that pulev's nickname was the cobra

pulev's another modest european talent. expect him to try and box with klitschko, and lose. he'll tire, and get stopped. either that, or he'll shell up, and the fight will be hellishly boring.

If you think "The Cobra" belongs to Froch, just call Pulev "Kobrata", which sounds cooler anyway imo.

Pulev won't tire, if you have seen his biggest fights, you know he's the type that's stronger in the second half of the fight.

Make sure you don't miss this fight, guys, you will regret it if you do. It will be a historic moment, the beginning of a new era.

You're generally ignorant about heavyweight boxing, this is no surprise. Go post up a shirtless or something.

the quality of my life definitely suffers because i don't knwo the nickname of kubrat pulev.

Haye looks more skilled than he is. He came out of the same stable as George Groves.

They do that really low slung athletic pose that looks good until you realize their punches are missing by 10-15 feet and they're expending 3x as much energy as their opponent.

" Anyone give The Cobra a chance against Klitschko"

Haye had a great chance and fooked it up good an proper. Where as Pulev has none. If Pulev and Haye got it on as well, Haye ko's Pulev everyday of the week.

As much as I don't like Hayes winy circus crap, he still has great movement & hits like a train. Which Pulev has none of.

I thought you meant froch and I was about to say you dont him count out till hes out!

i've seen ustinov, thompson, dimitrenko. probably others, too. i wouldn't call any of those "big fights." those are bad, bad HW, and they wouldn't sniff the top 10 in a decent era.

i also watched him in the amateurs, and when he was coming up and fighting in germany. i used to watch european boxing streams on saturday, and the timing was such that i saw a lot of pulev's pro fights.


he's going to either stay on the outside against klitschko and get outjabbed. he's got enough boxing skill that he's going to be confident in his abilities as a boxer, and that will put him at arm's length, and in wladimir's wheelhouse.

if he tries to close the gap, he'll eventually start to eat those half assed right hands that wladimir throws, and then finally the real power shots. if he somehow gets to wladimir before he can score and take a step to the side, he's going ot get leaned on.


wladimir is going to either retire as champion, deteriorate to the point where a boxer like pulev can actually touch him, or get stopped by a puncher. pulev's not a puncher, and the timing isn't going to lend itself to klitschko getting old overnight.


pulev is going to lose like the rest of them.

No I really can't see it hes the type of fighter who the more I see the less and less impressed I am.
He has okay footwork for a big lump, a decent jab and that is about it.

Light hitting jabber who fights with his chin ******ly high.

I expect a late stoppage/landslide for Wladimir basically carrying him instead of drilling this rather average lump out in 5-6 rounds like he should be and easily could.

I don't know if the fair few that are calling a Pulev upset are Wlad fans trying to hype up the win or have been smoking. I really do not see it.
Essentially hes an even more limited, p*ss poor version of Wlad.
