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

[erics44]

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

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.
