Comments Thread For: Photo: Kubrat Pulev, Kevin Johnson - Go Face To Face at Presser

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Kubrat Pulev (24-1, 13 KOs) and Kevin Johnson (30-7-1, 14 KOs) came face-to-face at a press conference today at the Hotel Marinela in Sofia ahead of their WBA Intercontinental Heavyweight title clash on Friday night at the Arena Armeec. Pulev makes the first defence of the WBA strap he claimed with a third-round stoppage victory over former World Champion Samuel Peter in December, and also risks his IBF mandatory position, which would see him in line to face the winner of Saturday's World title showdown between Anthony Joshua and Wladimir Klitschko.

The corpse of Samuel Peter apparantly wasnt good enough, next they dig up the ghost of kevin johnson's retired ghost.

embarrassing.

Man, I've always liked Pulev and all... but this tour of HW has-beens isn't a good look for him, and certainly not deserving of another IBF title shot. If the winner of Wladimir–Joshua has to fight him or vacate, then once again fuck the IBF for their shitty way of handling mandatories. Yes, enforce them when absolutely needed, but for cryin' out loud give some leeway for public demand as well!

LOL.

I like Pulev & think he's a skilled cat, but him & his team clearly are playing the stay busy vs bs opponents & get a mandatory title shot through not losing strategy. Then by the time he gets his mandatory shot he'll be so uncomfortable fighting a live opponent finally he'll be ill prepared to actually make the most of his opportunity. Gets him paid doe I suppose & for HW's that's pretty decent by itself compared to other divisions.

War kingpin!!!!

Kevin Johnson!? Are Pulev's team gonna dig up Audley Harrison next?

[BigZ44]

What if Kingping won? Lol. Would they make him IBF mandatory? Joshua vs Kingpin 2 for the claim to best HW in the world lol. Pulev probably wants Michael Grant next after seeing him fight last week. He's basically doing what they did at the start of the movie Commando, killing off all the retired guys

I know right, Johnson retired a couple years ago after getting plastered by Joshua, this is disgusting.
