So I think it will be a cagey affair of unentertaining jabs and occaisional straights for 12 rounds where wladimir wins by like 118-110 or something.. unless pulev gets bored and goes mad and decides to rush him :S I think both of them will stay on the outside which will make wladimir happy and he will just poke pulev in the face and not go to grab him much at all..

There won't be much holding? Have you seen wlad kilt fight before? His best weapon is the hold

Wlad is a level above everyone. To be honest Wlad wasn't his sharpest in this fight...he didn't respect Pulev at all.

Pulev will get knocked out like the rest of the division

Unfortunately Lyle is right. How many times have we pumped up an upcoming Wlad opponent, in the hopes that at least they'll put up a competitive fight..... only to be extremely disappointed come fight night? Talk is cheap. They can say they'll do this.... they can say they'll do that. But many have talked a lot, only to come into the ring like so many timid sheep, waiting for the hammer to fall. And I don't even like Wlad's reign as champion. But dammit.... at some point the finger has to pointed at the opponents. Povetkin is the only one (most recent) that stands out in my mind as actually coming in to fight, which of course made Wlad resort to the worst type of grappling and fouling tactics. Pulev will get TKO'ed, and we'll forget all about him and start pumping up the next victim.

Pulev can do it. If Pulev can't do it, no one can. He has a great chance of winning a UD in this one. Wlad faked an injury for a reason.

Pulev cant do it

wlad faked the injury because the officials werent giving out the right signals, when youre down to officiate a wlad fight never mention that you will uphold the rules, soon as you do youre chance of a massive payday goes, as a ref if you follow wlads rules you will earn a massive amount - usually more than the opponent and get the chance to a again

I hate to say "I told you so"........ oh, hell...... who am I trying to kid. Of course I told you so!! Yet another loudmouth promising big things before the fight, only to provide a meek and underwhelming show in the ring. Lateral movement my ass! The dude waded in with a sign that said "Hit me here". Later, after the fight, Pulev had this to say:

"Wladimir is a really good opponent, but he was lucky. I want a rematch. I'll win the next time," Pulev said. "There's luck in boxing. He's a good boxer but he's unsporting. There were a lot of tricks."

Tricks?? Oh.... like Wlad using the left hook when Pulev was expecting the right cross? Yeah.... I can see where that's downright sneaky.
