Joshua V Pulev 12/12/2020

Cheeky fuckers aren't showing AJ v Pulev.

AJ last fought/ran 12 months ago and beat an even fatter Ruiz than he lost to in the first fight.
Don't write Pulev off banging AJ out on Saturday night.

I agree and will be having a few quid on that outcome

That seems some shady double dipping. So Dazn subs in the States get it but not there. Pulev does sound pretty amped up for it. Figure we'll get the gist of the night to come within a couple of rounds.

​Jesus. A 38 year old plodder, who does nothing at all very well ..... and people still think he might spark Joshua out!

Ruiz battered him though........

Whats your thinking here....?

Well, Joshua is bigger, younger, fitter, stronger, better puncher, better technician and should win this hands down.

Pulev really is average, Ruiz is by far the better, more talented fighter.

I think that everyone has now decided that Joshua is really chinny (like he was in the amateurs, which I have said for ages since he turned pro), so any heavyweight would have a punchers chance.

Itsvtrie he hasn't got the very best chin in the world, but he should be too fast and too strong for Pulev to test it. Highlights reel knockout for Joshua before 5.

Its a no win situation for AJ. If he wins, he beat an ageing mediocrity. If he loses, he is suddenly an overprotected hype job with absolutely no chin.

Post Ruiz 1 i do wonder if AJ wants to stand and trade anymore or will he now be the cautious jab/move fighter he was in the second Ruiz fight.
Your right he should win this fight but I've pretty much given up predicting Heavyweight fights at the top level as the division never fails to amaze me.
I think with one eye on the Fury fights we might see AJ box clever like he did in Ruiz 2.

I'd like to see a Povetkin style approach from AJ. That was his best performance for me and a perfect blend of boxer puncher. Every man and his dog with a podcast are saying the same thing. Will we see AJ 'The Destroyer' back. Well no. He's not fighting Breazeales and Molinas anymore and it takes a little more than plodding forward throwing bombs to get the job done. When you fall into the trap of thinking it is, Ruiz happens. Pulev isn't particularly good at anything but I don't see him folding the moment he comes under fire. A dominant jab, right cross. Followed up with the short stuff when he gets him hurt. That'll do nicely.
