Comments Thread For: Anthony Joshua Drops Kubrat Pulev Four Times, Knocks Him Out in Ninth

Again! Usyk wouldn’t be there to be hit with 3 uppercuts.

Usyk is not exactly unhittable. He will get tagged by Joshua.

[Roberto Vasquez]

Kronk Fury is gonna walk through AJ, no doubt about it.

AJ can't handle a 6ft9 280lb beast.

So the beast Fury will be fighting someone ranked higher than Pulev in his next fight then? So funny

[P4Pdunny]

I dont think we getting this fight soon cos the business with Wilder isn’t over

[bigblue22]

So he beat Wlad, Povetkin and now Pulev. All old and way past prime. The people from the Klitschko reign era. Will he fight anybody from this era that’s worth a damn?

Pulev is his mandatory!

AJ fought Whyte, Ruiz, Parker all in his Era.

Wilder ducked him. Now hopefully he can fight Fury.

What more u want? Who should he have fight then?

I'm a big fury fan but some people on this site talk like he walks on water. Be honest, he was fortunate to win the Wallin fight. How was that not stopped with that cut? I still think Fury is a better boxer but AJ has shown massive improvements since the first Ruiz fight. Today showed he still has some of the aggression although clearly needing a little more confidence. What tonight's fight also showed was that Joshua moved much better and actually moved his head a little. What I'd really like to see is him to actually fight a bit in a clinch - seems like he just waits for the ref to split them up.

AJ going 12 rounds with an 80 year old man

The biggest Fury's win was against a 39 years old Wlad who was way past his prime.

How many fighters off this list do/did you consistently cheer for:

Mayweather
Charlo x2
Tank
Wilder
Andrade
Shakur Stevenson
Haney
Joshua
Spence
Crawford
Russell Jr
Adonis Stevenson

If I had to guess, you've had pure negative things to say about every last one of these fighters

Oh, what are your political views? I'm sure you hate blacks politically as well if I go to the lounge

On the flip, how do you feel about Loma, GG, Usyk, Beterbiev, Fury, young fighters out of Kazakhstan, etc? Confederacy, etc?

Anyone can check your track record, you're a racist little b1tch

Lololololol....I liked all though I gave Wilder a hard time as I’m a AJ fan. I didn’t like Adonis because I actually thought he ducked Kovalev. I never liked GGG, I like Loma and Usyk. I basically like slick boxers

Fury just demanded the Joshua fight on IG, called AJ a bum and said he would KO him in 3 rounds.

AJ wouldn't mention Furys name after the fight.

Sounds like AJ might be quacking tbh.

I thought Joshua's performance overall was very good, some annoying stretches of relative inactivity from him (although he was moving and boxing fairly well in those spells) and a lot of clinching that both guys shared the blame for, but ultimately big knockouts like that are hard to argue with. Like I said previously he only really needed to win by any means necessary to do his bit to secure the Fury fight next, assuming everything else falls into place to allow that, but blasting your guy out that way helps sell it that much better.

I definitely think Joshua's uppercuts are the best punches in his arsenal. Obviously it was the big right that'll make the highlight reel, but the uppercuts did the majority of the damage. Even Fury will need to watch out for those if the fight comes together.

He throws the uppercuts when an opponent is hurt and is clinging on or crouching bending down - I think Fury will be more susceptible to the counter straight right or hook or the jab/straight combo - maybe an uppercut as part of a finishing Flurry but otherwise no.

[PRINCEKOOL]

All in all, I suppose it was a good performance from Joshua. 4 knock downs, and a legitimate knock-out of a very capable and tough fighter in Pulev 'I just feel that his punching technique was a bit off, and he can afford to come in a tad heavier between 242-245 pounds'etc.
