don't be surprised if pulev and his people fail to show up for the actual fight

You bet your sweet ass Pulev will not only show up but knock Wlad out.

The way people have talked up Pulev, he better look good in this fight.

I don't see it, but I'm open to having my mind changed.

He is one of the better HWs out there but he doesn't have a truly standout win. However, he has outclassed good fighters in a similar fashion to Wladimir by being lightfooted and quick for his size and making his opponents look plodding/confused.

The problem here is that I think everything Pulev is good at, Wlad is better at They both like to pick their opponents apart with long punches but Wlad is one of the hardest hitting HWs of all time and Pulev has a tendency to just tap for points.

We can however say that Wlad hasn't faced this type of fighter. He has a big bear-like physique similar to Corrie Sanders but instead of being a natural brawler he's a patient boxer.

One thing Pulev does better than Wlad is take a punch. He made a mistake against Ustinov and got caught flush by a right hand bomb but he just shook it off like it was nothing.
Add size - he's is 6.5 and 250lb - stamina, and great physical strength to his durability and you have a guy who can give Wlad a real test. Especially in the last 3/4 rounds, as Pulev always seems to finish fights very strongly.

Of the current heavyweights Pulev is one of those most solid. I don't expect him to win or anything but he should put up a decent fight.

Wlad owns like a boss.

News flash: The promoter makes the rules. End of story.

That said, Wlad is looking more like Vitali as he ages.
