    Does AJ need to win impressively tomorrow?

    Seems he hasn’t had an impressive or even exciting performance in a while.

    I think he should run though Pulev so this could be the perfect opportunity to make a bit of a statement, especially to the casual fans who may be losing interest.

    Most defiantley for winning is 1 thing winning impressive is another and honestly AJ needs to dominate whole fight with a knockdown involved and or straight up knock pulev out for Gotts see that to help build more hype up for Aj vs fury equally important sway more fans betting lines and media in your favor . Aj gotta beat pulev similar to how klitschko did or better

      Does he? Depends who you are.

      Personally I'm not convinced he's isn't the same quitter who got mauled by Ruiz jr. We haven't seen him in true adversity since, so look for Pulev to press him, otherwise AJ will probably box safely.

      No matter how he looks though, Fury will ruin him, Fury becoming undisputed is only a matter of time.

        I would think so.
        I totally forgot he was fighting this weekend.

          Assuming all other obstacles sort themselves out, I think he can just get away with winning however and still get the Fury fight next. Obviously winning in an exciting manner is the best thing for hype, though.

            I agree. The only way he doesn't get a good fight is if he gets knocked out and even then he may still get a lucrative rematch.

            I think he will start cautious, then when he sees an opening later in the fight he will go for it.

            Pulev has a jab and a decent right hand so he might be wary for a minute. But Pulev is sooo slow so I am pretty sure Joshua will capitalize when he feels it is safe to.

              I was talking more in terms of regaining support from the casual fan.

                Yeah that fight is huge regardless.

                  I wonder how many casual fans will watch this fight.

                  Though UK fans tend to support their man, so maybe a lot will.


                  I just don't see there will be much interest in the U.S as Pulev just appears to be some random Bulgarian whose claim to fame is kissing a ****** reporter.

                    He needs to look good. I actually liked the way he boxed in the the last Ruiz fight. Didn’t push his punches and boxed nicely. If he looks so so in this fight then I think he may have lost something.
