Wlad - Pulev set for September 6th.

[Bo-Bo24]

K2 Promotions won the rights to this fight so more than likely will be staged in Gemany. I've also heard that the date for this will be September 6th which potentially gives the winner time to fit in the WBO defence before the end of the year.

I guess it's as good as anyone out there. A unification fight for the WBC would obviously be better, but that will probably be a nice little merry go round with Wilder and Stiverne for the next year or something. Pulev has some skills but I don't see anything he does that will bother Wlad to much, he isn't a big puncher or particularly fast etc, just seems like another Chagaev, Ibragimov or Povetkin level guy at best. Fully expect a crap fight on that note

The unification fight will happen but this is probably the best when it comes to talent Wlad can face. Pulev is a tough customer, very skilled as a boxer but he'll have to really be on his game and throw Wlad off his to pull off the upset.

Will ESPN carry the fight or have all the networks giving up on Wlads fights.

If ESPN turn it down, they are stupid.

I think someone here reported ESPN received very low ratings for Wlads last fight. I know HBO gave up on Wlad a while ago. If ESPN doesn't carry it a stream will probably be the only way to see it in the US
