He actually does it pretty effectively too, chops with his punches a lot and just seems to get tagged a lot although he seems to have sturdy legs and a chin. Dimitrenko has never impressed me but he has great size and seems like the logical favorite to me? Pulev is definitely a more fun fighter to watch, less sloppy than Dimitrenko for sure but he's older (which isn't necessarily a bad thing) and they are fighting in Germany!

Am I alone in thinking these odds are a little off? Hopefully odd enough for me to cash in this morning.

The fight got pushed back to May 5th. It's on the Huck-Afolabi II undercard.

I lean towards Pulev personally. If he had a bit more pop I think he'd beat Dimitrenko easily.
