    Absolutely...the second best heavy imo with some power,a variety of punches in his arsenal and always has badass ringwalks...what's not to like. Other than the big 3 fighting each other,who is there for them to fight that's exactly "blockbuster"....Usyk? Until we see Fury,Josh and Wilder step in with one another this is about as good as it's going to get for either from here on out so i"ll just enjoy it for what it is....and for $8.50 to boot,i"ll take it.

        If Ruiz was able to pull an upset, maybe so can Pulev. That’s the only angle that makes it exciting to me.

          Well, its unfortunate this is a wasted $30.
          RIP $30.

            Interesting to see most people share my sentiments about this fight. Will I watch it? yes on a stream. Am I excited? Not particularly.

              It’s a mandatory fight and ideally we want want AJ vs fury of course but I still want to watch it. Pulev isn’t a mug and maybe he is now too old - but his previous fights haven’t yet shown that.

              This fight is far better opposition than many we have seen other top heavyweights in (since lockdown the only top fight close would be whyte povetkin and chisora usyk?) and there is intrigue on what style AJ chooses to fight in.

              Pulev has won 28 out of 29; that one loss being to Klitschko.
              Joshua has 21 knockouts in 23 wins.

              We will see how many buy the ppv but I suspect in the uk alone it will do over one million again ...

                5mins before the fight I'll be hyped, but right now it doesn't feel like a big HW fight week.

                AJ's been losing some luster to me every since the Wlad fight. He's taken on a more boxer approach, since that rough night, which has been less entertaining unless he's losing usually lol. Respect to Andy on making that happening but boo Andy for Buster Douglasing the rematch.

                So I'm not hyped hyped & I'm not expecting some barnburner action fight once I am hyped for a HW title fight & these mofos look like they are sparring for 3rds before it gets serious.

                  no one except casuals can get excited for this rubbish, he's lucky his fan boys don't watch boxing they only watch him. Just look at pulev, i feel sorry when i look at him.

                    I certainly don't, however, I know it's a HW, everyone can win against everyone even with a lucky punch or two -- this is why I watch all important fights in HW no matter how I regret it later on lol.

                      Not at all, but I'll watch, hoping for Pulev to get a lucky KO.
