Wlad is running from Pulev he picked the Aussie for his next fight stop running wlad

[Kingedwards]

I have watched alot of Pulev lately he is a nightmare for wlad.

The guy will bring constant pressure that wlad hasn't felt in years.

Pulev has the size and power to stop the clinch and hopefully we get a ref tht doesn't let clinchko hold the whole fight.

Pulev will beat wlad sooner or later

no chance, klit will be allowed to clinch as much as he needs to to win

we saw in his last fight that the opponent was dangerous enough for him to be allowed to clinch to extreme levels

Pulev has no chance , even if he starts to get on top the powers will come up with something crazy to hand the advantage back to klit

if i was fighting a klit i would come up with some extreme hugging tactic myself, try and at least beat him at his own game, perhaps some crazy spinning him around tactic or something

[erics44]

actually he always clinches to extreme levels, in his last fight he was allowed to clinch to hurrendously extreme levels

Running from Pulev? You mean the guy Joey Abell knocked down? Wlad hasn't scheduled his next fight yet also he might have to make a mandatory defense of one of the titles he has but I can tell you this much Pulev ain't a "nightmare" for Wlad. I don't know if Wlad will fight Alex Leapi but it shouldn't be an issue for him.

Allow me to break down Kubrat. He's 6'4/6'5 and was 253 & 3/4 in his last fight, he's an orthodox fighter, he has 10 KO's in 19 fights, he lacks big pop, he is a solid technical fighter, he doesn't have many tricks up his sleeve or a difficult style and he lacks the intangibles to beat Wlad. Kubrat's chin has yet to be tested although his balance isn't the greatest that's for certain. Pulev couldn't even KO Travis Walker....Adamek and Browne both stopped Walker.

I think Pulev has good footwork and decent hand speed but there's little to no pop in his punches, and his defense doesn't really stand out to me.

I think he's just another victim in waiting, he's done right in preparations for a fight vs Wlad: Dimitrenko, Ustinov, Walker...you see the size and power those guys provide (power only provided by Walker truly) and that's a great step towards being ready for what Wlad will throw at him, but I think Pulev will end up catching a beat down because Wlad's hands are faster, his defense is better, and he has the power to drop anyone with either hand.

We need a heavyweight Devon Alexander, is what you are saying? Lol

[Bo-Bo24]

Pulev deserves his place as number one contender, but he'll be no problem for Wlad. Personally I think Fury was an idiot for not fighting him, theres a large chance he would of won and been mandatory for the titles in the process.

[El Kabong]

If you're looking for styles that will hurt/worry Wlad then you've got 2 real options. You've got 1. the Brewster/Purrity take a complete ass whupping but keep plodding forward guys and 2. the huge power swinging for the fences Corrie Sanders type.

Pulev ain't either one of those. Deontay Wilder COULD be the Corrie Sanders type, but who knows. Cris Arreola might be the Brewster type but it's doubtful. Stiverne might could be either type, again doubtful.

Then you've got the long shots, the guys who MIGHT be able to outpoint Wlad in a decision (highly unlikely) Jennings, Pulev.

But hey you guys keep hoping

[FinitoElDinamita]

Lmmfao pure comedy.. why would wlad feel the need to run from pulev? Pulev is dime a dozen, guy is slightly above ordinary and ive seen many HWs like him come and go in the past 10 years..

Tryin to make him out to be some dangerous fighter lol.. pulev is not elite

[bradlee180]

Oh swell, another idiot, maybe kingedwards and max powers are the same troll....

I'm no Wlad fan but he aint ducking Pulev. Wlad has 3 mandatories and values his belts. As he's WBA Super Champion he has longer for mandatories but beating Povetkin just took care of the WBA. There is no purse bid for the IBF yet but there is for the WBO so if he wants to keep his title he has to fight Leapai next. It isn't a duck, he'll probably fight Pulev after that. I'm sure Pulev has to fight an elimanator first.

Good side for Pulev- he has GREAT movement and won't be clenched as much as Wlad's other opponents. The man really is a Cobra- he moves with the grace and skill of a Welter.

Bad side for Pulev- he doesn't have much pop. Wlad won't let you get off more than a two shot combo on him because he clenches and hugs like a sock-puppet.

Pulev's only way to win is to win on points... move in and out and box... don't get on the ropes, stay in the middle of the ring and move around the ring and pop in and out with one's and two's. And, if you have a chance throw more than two shots- which I doubt, because I don't think Wlad will allow him to throw in addition to the lack of power Pulev has- then go for it and move away quickly.

Really? Wlad is running from Pulev? What difference does it make whether he fights Pulev or Leapei? Both are massive underdogs.

The only boxer quacking his way around atm is Floyd Mayweather... Big time!

nothing, he fights pulev hell cuddle him for 12 rounds if he fights Leapei he'll cuddle him for 12 rounds

in fact if he fought my gran he would cuddle her for 12 rounds

[Max Power]

Not arguing that. You'd be dead right there. I've just been discussing Wlad's holding. All the shorter guys that try to bull their way inside are cuddled. Wlad is better to watch against taller guys that give him a standup fight. Leapai and Pulev are both short, he will hug the shit out of them.

I would like to see Wladimir fight Chris Arreola, Tyson Fury, Deontay Wilder someone that will give him a proper punch up even if he does outclass them.

wlad would cuddle arreola

as the cuddle doesnt seem to work as well on the taller fighters it would be interesting to see what would happen if he came up against a decent tall fighter, i dont think he has yet

i dont think fury is good enough, he'd have a chance if he put it on him for the first couple of rounds, i think wlad would land too easy on him tho

i really dont know how good or bad wilder is its very hard to say, he would certainly have a punchers chance, again tho i believe he would need to start very fast and try and close it early
