I don't think either one is getting stopped to be honest.
If Wlad stays commited to his jab he should decision Pulev unanimously, however if Pulev for once makes a consistent effor to throw his 1-2s or 1-2-1s 5 to 8 times a round stepping in then I see trouble for Wlad. He just hasn't dealt with that size speed and straight punching since Corrie Sanders and luckily for him Pulev isn't a puncher.
Pulev is a live dog and certainly has the ability and athleticism to take it to the champ, but I suspect his "reluctant" style might prevent him from taking it.
Pulev literally has nothing in common with Sanders other than they are/were both 6'4.Comment

I can't believe that I am beginning to become more pumped up for this fight than for the Haye one.Comment

They are both white lol. Sanders went into the fight in great shape weighing in at 225lbs and while he was as tall as Pulev, e is the smaller man. His reach measured at 77, Pulev is at 80.
Pulev hasn't tasted defeat yet, Corrie was knocked out twice. Klitschko is not as young as he used to be, he's smarter more strategic but I think he will lose the battle of the jabs. I know it sounds unbelievable.
I don't like Pulev that much, I think his chin is too high in the air and even when he presses he is fighting off his back foot, he is too cautious at times. He gets going by the 5th round really but I think all of this is what will give trouble to Wlad. I don't think a Brewster type of fighter bothers Wlad anymore. I think if Pulev finds success on the outside with his quicker hands and in and out of movement, Wlad will be lost.Comment
