Comments Thread For: Kubrat Pulev Defeats Kevin Johnson, Eyes Joshua-Klitschko Winner

[Jewish-Reptile]

I know boxing has no internal logic, but wouldn't it be great if Pulev and Ortiz fought each other and winner got winner of Joshua Klitschko without pulling the belts apart again?

You really believe Klitschko and or Joshua wants to face Ortiz ?

People give Wilder a hard time about fighting Gerald Washington while Pulev takes fights with Kevin Freaking Johnson and whomever that fatty Peter was he fought last time.

Wasn't KJ going to retire?

while pulevs recent opposition is laughable you cant compare these 2 guys. Wilder is a champion and has to face better opposition, because in a perfect world a champion should seek out to defend against the best.
All the other non-titlist can do whatever they want, they just shouldnt expect boxing fans to give a **** about them.

This fight proves to me how many light years Anthony Joshua is ahead of some of the fighters in the HW division. Especially Pulev who took 12 rounds to beat a man AJ demolished in two rounds. Pulev would have to change his style of boxing if he ever fought AJ because if he's ****** enough to stand in front of AJ like he did with Klitschko he's gonna get be headed.

I was in shock that Kevin Johnson actually threw a few combinations in rounds 5 & 6 but I think that zapped him of all his energy. The fight should of been a 10 rounder because Johnson never threw a punch in rounds 11 & 12. Easy work for Pulev & he got a good 12 round sparring session in today. I don't think Pulev will fair much better against Joshua then he did with Klitschko. His lack of power is a weakness but I think the real issue is he is too brave for his own good. He is fearless & not afraid to stand in there & exchange with anyone. He is a tough SOB & I enjoy watching him fight. He is more than willing to take a shot to land a few which could be a problem against Joshua or Wilder. He lacks one punch power which allows his opponents to hang around & that could spell trouble against the big punchers of the division.

Lol, sounds like classic Kingping. Talk a load of **** then go into the shell and survive for 12. I still think Pulev is very underrated and is a borderline top 5 HW right now. I think people have forgotten that he Ko'd Dimitrenko and Ustinov when those guys were viewed as legit contenders and also beat Tony Thompson right after this 2 KO's of David Price. I guarantee there aren't 10 better HW's right now than Pulev.

You're aware Pulev has a mandated title shot at the Joshua Klitschko winner and sells out 13k Bulgarian arenas ?

Pulev is not a title holder, Wilder is.

Sorry, off topic I know but I just wanted to say I'm a big STP fan too. Just read Weiland's book a few months ago too. You check that out yet?

Also could you do me a huge favor and send me the link to the Klitschko image in your profile pic? It looks awesome and I'd like to save it to my hard drive if you can do that for me dude. Tried doing it on here but the resolution is super low. Thanks man.

More so VR, I prefer stinging electric guitar but yeh I'm a huge STP fan too. I used to love VR's takes on the STP tracks sex type thing and cracker man. I love both but my favourite guitarists are Slash, Page and Perry.

I read the book yeh I felt he didn't go deep enough, read Mary's it's not better but s little more enlightening stories with Dave Navarro and Scott etc. I'm reading The Last of The Giants Mick Wall right now GnR one of the best I've read in a while, well worth picking up if you're a fan.

Kills me that no one talks about VR. Deserves to be remembered as more than just a colab or side project. Contraband is one of my all time faves and when I saw them tour that one, I literally felt like I had my ass kicked. Scott's intensity was unreal.

Have you heard Slash and Myles covering VR, more so Slither ? Slash plays this spine tingling intro, my biggest disappointment when GnR reformed with Axl, Slash and Duff last year was Slash and Myles would be put on the back burner.

VR both albums for me are superb, I find it difficult picking between the two but I'd say my most favourite tracks are from Libertad, Just Sixteen (hence my age on here). Scott had control over all lyrical content in the second album, not that I'm a fan of the rest of the band being excluded from input, a band that was immensely talented. With all tha said Sucker Train Blues and Dirty Little Thing are as strong as Slither, I wouldn't like to have to choose between an album tbh. It's like picking between Vitali And Wlad, one is a hard hitting behemoth the other definitely intelligent and thought provoking, whilst can deliver an absolute steelhammer blow itself.

I think VR began as like we do do this without Axl but quickly became what it was down the stretch, a financial juggernaut with the strength of a tsunami, I like how they proved they could do it without Axl, no.1's.

I view VR as Slash's vision of GnR without all the prolonged ballad trash like November Rain, Knockin and Don't Cry.

Thanks man. And yeah Scott's book was a REALLY quick read. I think I read it in like one day, two at the most whereas some books can take up to a week sometimes. It left a little more to be desired. Slash is also one of my favorite guitarists. His book, Duff's book, and Steven Adler's book were all great reads too. I recently downloaded a bunch of books and have been reading non stop. (Mike Tyson's book, Sebastian Bach of Skid Row's book, Steve-O from Jackass' book -- REALLY funny by the way haha, Steven Tyler's book, Anthony Kiedis' book. Heroin Diaries by Nikki Sixx) I love autobiographies dude haha. I can PM you links if you want. Another really good one was Randy Blythe from Lamb of God's book about the time he spend in prison in Prague a couple years ago. He wrote it himself without the help of a co-author and it was very well written and actually a lot better than I thought it was gonna be.
