Wlad was wobbled in the first round by a jab, he was hit more than normal because the ref did not allow too much holding. Wilder fight would be very interesting. Wlad is after Joe Louis record!!!!

You need to be clever and big to negate Wlad's Jab and keep him off up close. Don't see anyone like that at the moment. Pulev made the champ think twice more than once though and took some big shots well. Great finish from a huge puncher though.
Kellerman is full of shot. He said Wlad receives a lot of unjust credit. Kellerman has been one of Wlads biggest critiques his last few fights.
This was a fun fight tho and I think its cause pulev went in there and actually was going to try and win despite knowing he'll get knocked out he didn't let wlad just peper him to death for ten rounds and when wlad is actually made to fight he can look dam good
Wlad can not be beat by the crop of heavyweights out there. Pulev was the best chance. He did himself proud, but Wlad is just too big, strong and GOOD!!!
Wlad didn't seem to give Pulev any respect but wow, what a left hook eh?
Wladimir wasn't sharp tonight but he was ready to fuck Pulev up
I think Briggs would put up a much better fight. Pulev was a lumbering unskilled oaf. And what he did throw was telegraphed a week in advance.The fact that he was the number 1 challenger speaks volumes to the depth of misery this division is in.
well said! i agree pulev had heart, but no skills. whats this pulev no throwing punches unless u are in a clinch? kinda lame. those short punches dont do shit. but props to wlad for looking like he actually wanted to hurt someone....FINALLY!! and yes, id rather watch briggs/wlad too.
do you really think briggs is going to do anything but run out of energyand shell up after the first 2 minutes of the fight ?..... it would be an awful fight...
briggs would do no worse than pulev, haye, povetkin or any of the other clowns he's been fighting as of late. after seeing wlad FINALLY try to hurt someone, i have my doubts about briggs winning, but id still like to see it happen. if anyone can crack that chin again, its briggs, wilder or stiverne.
