Comments Thread For: Joshua Granted IBF Exception, Must Rematch Klitschko By Dec 2

[Sledgeweather17]

Idk about all that. If they trade shots like in the first fight Klitschko won't be the guy "tiring out". It'll be Joshua gassing again cuz his frame isn't built for stamina. He's TOO muscled up. Stamina is going to be an issue Joshua's whole career like its been an issue for other muscle bound combat sports fighters their whole career.

But for sure I expect Joshua to win & do so easier this time around, but it'll be because he fights smarter than last time & paces himself better while putting a consistent hurting on Klitschko til he stops him or maybe even gets him to quit on the stool or have his corner call it.

Nah I think Joshua will jump on him from the get go this time. Klitschko couldn't stop Joshua from walking into him when he wanted to, and everytime Josh did Klitschko hit the canvas.

I recon Josh will box for the first round or two and then go for the KO.

The IBF just want some of that Joshua $$$. Joke of an organisation.

Underhand from her. Especially as it was common knowledge about the rematch clause. You'd think the promoters would have that sorted.





These two posts made me chuckle. Right on cue.

Hennessy promotes Furry Fluff and the Acne Kid, Warren was just their for the tv deal until they rode their way to sky sports for the one off Klitschko fight before hookin back up with Warren and his channel for what would have been their next fights.

Like Denium says, the IBF just be there for the money. I'd have liked to have seen Pulev given his chance as he's waiting, surely Ortiz must jump ahead of Pulev now if he's prepared to take step aside money or the governing body that hasn't looked out for their fighters fight interests and just their own/and his bank account I don't see why Ortiz should be made to wait.

If Pulev didn't get any step aside money then this could get ugly. Lol

That's was am thinking now. Usually he would be compensated for that but because the organisation stepped in would he? Would wait and see how this plays out.

The IBF does not allow step aside fees.

Pulev's promoter knows there is way more money to be made fighting Joshua for the unified championship than fighting Takam for the vacant IBF title. Which is why Sauerland wasn't super aggressive about trying to force an immediate purse bid like Duva was.

They better give Julious Indongo the same exemption or I'm calling foul.

So am guessing they would be willing to wait then?

Doesn't matter if they're willing now, the exception has been granted.

Whereas with Fury, Duva immediately called for a purse bid because she wanted Fury to be stripped and Fury's team was too ****** to file for an exemption before Duva demanded a purse bid.

Thank you for this info. But I disagree with your view on fighting Takam ; Carlos is a much easier fight and winning the IBF title would make Pulev champion which means he would be unifying : now in the scenario that you present Pulev would be coming in as a challenger so I don't see how this benefits him -- and to make matters worse you say he got no money?! WOW! how embarrassing.
