    I find it baffling that people are saying he should have taken more chances.

    Why? To what end? If you can almost certainly beat someone by taking your time, out boxing them, and waiting for your opportunities to throw bombs, why would you take chances?

    He does look a little tentative, but it's the heavyweight division, he should be tentative about taking punches. That's how you lose fights.

    Does Fury not look tentative? He spends most of his fights maintaining distance and avoiding any kind of contact from his opponent. That's just smart boxing. Don't get hit, then hit.

      That’s boxing. One guy usually gets hurt and knocked out.

      AJ wasn’t dominating him round in round out. He wasn’t clowning or embarrassing him either. It was more of a systematic performance, very Klitschko-esque.

      You’re the only person I’ve seen who felt Pulev was humiliated last night. He actually gave a better account of himself than I expected tbh.
      Pulev was trying to laugh and smile, and then would get hit head smashed in, and then run, in round three he turned his back and ran. Cowardice?

        He looked good. He didn't look "lights out" good, but he looked sharp, in shape, seemed to win every round, scored several knock downs and got the stoppage win.
