Comments Thread For: Joshua Could Lose IBF Belt Prior To Klitschko II, Pulev Stands Firm

[NahMean]

Hope this doesn't happen.. We need a unified champion in the HW division. Wilder vs AJ for all the belts is the fight everyone wants. But sanctioning bodies won't let that happen it happen!

[Blackclouds]

Pulev must've forgot he caught Vlad one of the rare times he was in beast mode letting gloves fly pulev got blasted with left hooks went down a few times then lights out.

I don't think this was an accident. Pulev stunned Vlad with a good jab that made him fight.

IBF seems to hate unifications at the same time, Eddie Hearn talking **** about AJ only fighting 2 fights a year from now on. No way any fighter can satisfy all their mandatories and that means these belt organizations are going to flex.

Pulev vs Ortiz anyone?

[Travycat]

Pulev doesn't want to fight either of these guys lol. If a 38 year old Wlad blasted him out like that, AJ would do it in about the same time or less. He's trying to get a cheap belt like when that garbage body stripped Fury and put his belt out there for some trash fight.

Ortiz is the one that's being put aside. The WBA should grow some and enforce their mandatory. Pulev has had a shot, Ortiz is due, then get down to real business; Wilder/Joshua.

[Elroy The Great]

there shouldnt be a 2nd fight. other than that kd, wlad was losing big. hes done.

Anthony Joshua (19-0, 19 KOs) could very well lose his IBF world title before a rematch with Wladimir Klitschko in the fall. Last April, before a crowd of 90,000 fans at Wembley, Joshua stopped Klitschko in eleven rounds to unify the IBF, WBA, IBO world titles. Joshua had to overcome a knockdown in the sixth and some tense moments afterwards, to score two knockdowns of his own before stopping Klitschko in the eleventh.

fk Pulev, and fk the IBF

dump that shht and rematch Klitschko

Pulev could probably give Wilder all kinds of grief with his jab alone, Joshua not so much. Too bad it isn't Wilder being given an ultimatum.

[Deus]

Ugh. I swear Hearn was saying only last week that he has a good relationship with Pulev's team and that they were in constant discussions...

Joshua getting stripped and then Pulev holding the belt hostage in Bulgaria will not be good for a unified heavyweight champion.

[Sledgeweather17]

Why people surprised that this happened? This is typical East European behaviour. Remember when Kovalev ducked the purse bid? Or when Gazkov pulled out of Wilder negotiations and had Fury stripped so that he can fight for a vacant title?

How about Golovkin's 154 to 168 claims, as long as it aint Lara or Ward doe.

And now it's Pulev tryna get Joshua stripped so that he can fight for a vacant title instead of the champion.

Nothing new here gents, East Europeans don't fuuck around.
