Pulev could pull off a shock, it is a possibility that should not be discounted. The smart money is obviously on Joshua to win but if he takes his eye off the ball and gets complacent after the win over Ruiz, it might be a tough fight against Pulev.
I agree, Pulev is a live dog here, although I voted for Anthony Joshua to win, and I think there are no pressures on Pulev side, he just need to relax show his best version and test Joshua to his limit.
If Joshua came like he did against Ruiz I, too over confident, cocky and thinks he can just go fight square against Pulev, there could be a good chance for an upset here.
I voted for Joshua, too, I think he will win. Interesting prediction from the sport news writer "Joshua will knock out
Pulev in the fourth round".
Joshua is taller and has bigger reach, in boxing that is an advantage! If he learned his lesson against Ruiz he will
not get into fights cocky ever again.
Odds on Joshua are low, I will not place a bet, but I will watch this fight! Agree with you JollyGood, if Pulev gets
into fight relaxed without pressure he can make a surprise here.
I think Joshua is going to use his advantage and he shouldn't be overaggressive trying to knock out his opponent in an early rounds, that's juts my expectation but of course I would like to see some real action here as his opponent IMO is better than Ruiz and this guy also has some good power although near at retirement age already. Joshua will try not to make a mistake here, otherwise it will be his 2nd defeat against an underdog fighter.
