Pulev may not be a huge puncher, but he throws very accurate combinations. He's a great accumulation puncher.

His career KO percentage is very misleading: If you consider an "RTD" to be the same as a TKO, which it basically is, then he's got five "KO's" in his last six fights.

Also, he likes to fight from outside or midrange. Rarely on the inside. So Wlad's octopuss routine probably won't help him.

Wlad has more power, faster hands, and infinitely better experience, but Pulev has plenty enough power to crack that china mandible. Although his style is rather predictable, especially easy for Wlad to figure out, He has a small chance.

Sadly, I think Wlad has the skills to keep him off. Since Wlad will be very wary of the power Pulev DOES have, we'll likely see lots of jabbing & moving, and another painfully dull fight as Waldo coasts to another overwhelming UD without throwing more than 5 power punches per round..

And you call me a blind hater.... What drivel :lol:

Pulev has the power to stop Wlad?
Wlad has a glass chin, but Wilder doesn't? :rofl :rofl

My SISTER has the power to stop Wlad.

- And Wilder's chin is just fine, as you know. You're probably one of those fools who thinks he was KD's by Dustin Nichols.

Keep taking those drugs, reality sucks anyway.

I loved the prefight footage on the HBO broadcast for Brewster I where Steward talked about how he loved the left hook and wanted to make it more of a factor

The offense Wlad had in that fight was amazing and it is a shame he doesnt fight like that anymore. He showed so much with Steward in just those few rounds

Wlad still performed well but the oh shit moment for me was the Calvin Brock fight, sure he clinched plenty in Peter I but it was still a good fight and a heart filled performance that proved what he was made out of, the Brock fight was the first win of Wlads where I felt underwhelmed with his performance, it was the first time he looked overly cautious and took a while to open up his power shots

The funny thing is, for a long time, he did the jab-and-grab by design, but could still turn it on when he felt safe (the Rahman fight).

Now, given his age, I think he pretty much HAS to fight like he is fighting.

That chin is certified CHINA. Khan -esque. Wlad is iron chinned in comparison to this glass jawed clown.

If you knew anything at all about boxing, which you clearly do not, you'd see that both the two stumbles and the KP were caused by Wilder being off-balance (a problem he still has today, though to a much lesser extent.) He was never even close to hurt in that fight, as anyone (except you, I guess) can plainly see.

You can deny the evidence all you want, but it's here for you and everybody on this forum to see. Wilder was indeed hurt several times in this fight, his punch resistance is atrocious. Your legs don't buckle and turn into jelly from a punch if you aren't hurt :patsch

Wilder has a glass chin, he has a lot of stuff going for him, but hischin isn't one of them. Hes quick and powerful though

Sadly, I think it may look a lot like the Povetkin fight. :(

Dont think so. Pulev is a much bigger and stronger guy than Povetkin I dont see him tire like Povetkin did. Plus Pulev can fight from the outside while Povetkin had to get close to Wladimir so Wladimir had to clinch. Wich he probably doesnt need to do that often against Pulev because Pulev also keeps it long.

Wilder was clearly hurt and rubber legged after being hit, with headgear on. Why are you still a useless tool after all these years? I've never seen that clip before but that guy tagged Wilder's ass...............admit it.
