Comments Thread For: Joshua-Pulev Penciled in For December 12 at O2 in London

[removed]

Let's hope Femi doesn't have another panic attack on the way to the ring.

I want Femi to win so I can watch Fury beat him up and put him to sleep, but I have a sneaky feeling Pulev might cause a few issues.

Remember it's only 12 months ago that Femi got dominated and stopped by a morbidly obese 500/1 late replacement, and he ran away and potshotted an even fatter version in the rematch.

He will have been out of the ring for over 12 months, has apparently suffered from a serious leg injury, and we still don't know what his punch resistance will be like, or what happens when somebody takes him to the trenches.

Is anyone thinking of going to this!?

You defending these mandatories as legit?

2017 - Stiverne 2 years inactive and before that loss to Wilder 2015, beat Derick Rossy 2015

2019 - Breazeale after beating Molina both 1 fight of losses to AJ skipping over guys ranked higher in WBC

2019 - Fury, this fight was already made and upped to mandatory as soon as the WBC could temporarily suspend Whyte on apparently baseless information as they haven't banned him.

All handpicked opponents.

And don't forget Fury ducking Whyte for the Diamond belt which was Fury own request.

Give your head a wobble and feck off.

Nonce.

Your deluded. No one scared of Whyte. #1 ranked heavy weight in world definitely isn't scared of the c grade hype job.

Get a clue... Whyte just got flattened by 40 year old and knocked into next century.

Not really. Matchroom gotta get their **** together and get some fights scheduled. Idk why they didn't have anything ready to go after fight camp.

Lol this could be a good fight, don't be too surprised if AJ either has a hard time putting him away, or even loses.

AJ is vulnerable and not hard to hit, which is why the Wilder fight is still exciting.

I'll be rooting for the upset, it will be HILARIOUS I'd AJ loses his belts before he can fight Fury.

Don’t mind this match.

Expecting AJ to win, pulev has experience and could make some rounds interesting.

He's 100% correct. Wilder picked those mandatories.

In some cases he already made the fight and the WBC then made them mandatory.

Pulev is a mandatory. Not the fight Joshua would choose.

Why avoid him then?

[TMLT87]

The pressure will be on AJ to entertain and stop Pulev, which at least adds a bit of an intrigue to an otherwise very middle of the road fight.

Please lord lets get AJ/Fury done after that though. No more ****ing around.

[Jkp]

Why avoid him then?

No one has ever avoided Whyte.
Not even 40 year old bouncer Lucas browne or plumber Dave Allen, or 100 year old dinosaur wach.

He's not good enough to be avoided.
He's a proven uk hype job.

It's sad just how glacial the boxing world moves. While the current climate across the world is difficult, you can definitely believe that fighters - especially the big names - have another half dozen excuses lined up to push fights back.

No one seems to just want to f***ing fight anymore.
