Topic: [ POLL ]: Boxing - Anthony Joshua vs Kubrat Pulev - page 16. (Read 4409 times)
This fight is all about Anthony Joshua showcasing his boxing skills against an old man whose strength is definitely waning down. He is 38 years old right now but he will already be 39 years old by the time he faces Joshua in June. 39 years old is already a retirement age for boxing. Well, the Gypsy King considers the old man good and wise inside the ring. I believe in him but, as everyone knows, old age always betrays one's capabilities and strength. AJ being the huge favorite with 1.07 odds is just fair.
Pulev is severely disadvantaged in this match imo. Just the fact that Joshua could be said to be still in his primes while Pulev just got out of that range is already a huge factor, then there's also the development of Joshua in his past matches. Still, Pulev would still probably put out quite a good fight. He's had quite a number of ventures and experiences, and as said by quite a bit of people, has the wisdom and defensive power to hold out. Though compared to Joshua, he may not have that much Knock-out power (comparing the # of Win KO's they've gotten), he still has his skills and experience to back them up.
Have never seen both of them fight, and I've tried to look at some of their highlights. Addition to this post, the factor that Joshua's K'O percentage over Pulev is higher which is also a good point to consider. This will be a good match to watch.

This fight looks interesting What do you think will happen?
, I'm now getting hyped. Joshua should be very careful on this guy, I can feel on his aura that he is a tough one. And look on his face, we can see that he is not coming this far for joking 
.Anyway, if we will take a look on their records, for me they are even. Yeah! Pulev got more wins but Joshua also got one loss too and that could be an equalizer. Besides, Joshua got a higher knockout percentage thus I'm more rooting on him. This is one hell of a fight! I'm so excited now
. 
I think most people will say Joshua will win the fight easily but Pulev is no push over, he has a good record. The only problem for him is that is 38 years old and no longer in his prime so Joshua should play to his own strengths and not let Pulev think he can take it to a points decision.
It would be a big upset if Kubrat Pulev would win this fight.
per one of the sportsbook betting odds, Joshua is clearly the heavy favorites here with .

Yeah, I think this is going to be a lot of incentive on Anthony Joshua, he got the time to show his talents again win and then go after Tyson Fury. Not taking anything from Pulev as he deserves the title shot because he is the mandatory, but I don't think he has the tools to upset Joshua.
Seems that Joshua got his second wind as well, after he lost to Ruiz and won on the rematch, he had this sort of mentality or at least matured after his first lost on Andy.

What do you think will happen?
In my opinion it will not be a walkover for Joshua because Pulev has been the distance at least 13 times in his professional heavyweight career. Never seen Pulev fight but would be hard for anything to happen except a Joshua win either by points decision or TKO.
