[ POLL ]: Boxing - Anthony Joshua vs Kubrat Pulev - JOSHUA WINS IN ROUND 9

[ReiMomo]

Joshua has a huge edge from all angle but he should knock Pulev out, Pulev is old he was knock out by Klitscko when they fought it should be easy for Joshua to knock Pulev out so he will have an impressive win going for the much awaited Fury encounter since Fury just come out from a very impressive knock out win against Wilder.

Exactly!
Statistically, Anthony Joshua has already an edge over Kubrat Pulev despite their age. I don't understand why Joshua still needs to fight Pulev as his mandatory opponent wherein it is obvious that Pulev is an underdog in this fight.

I'm confident that most of the incentives here will definitely go to Joshua, and even I had placed my bet on him for I am 99% sure of his win, unless an unexpected incident would occur prior to or during their match which could affect Joshua severely. In fact, I am just looking forward to Joshua having Tyson Fury as his opponent which could bring more excitement to all viewers and bettors.

Any fighter that would fight Joshua expect maybe Fury will be an underdog in the fight.
He is fighting him in preparation for a big fight and promoters are the one making the decision and I believe they are making the right decision.

If I am not mistaken, both parties or Fury and Joshua have already agreed to set a big fight, so this is a must done job for Joshua, hopefully he will make an impressive win here.

I still do not think Joshua will have an easy fight. I think he will win but it will be a points decision and Joshua might face some tough moments in the fight too.

The match will not be easy for Joshua for sure. Yet Joshua reach is 208.3 cm, while Pule has a reach of 202 cm and is older.

IMO the best is Joshua to win with a unanimous decision. The odds jumped from 3.80 to 5.00 and I took it at 5.00 a few minutes ago.

[JollyGood]

Joshua was not expecting Pulev to be so aggressive at the weight-in.

Call it bravado or showmanship or anything else but Pulev was absolutely taunting Joshua because he wanted to make him nervous.

Obviously the smart thinking is that Joshua will win but Pulev looks like he means business and thinks he will win the fight tomorrow !

Seems like Pulev here was underestimated with the move of betting odds, people might have thought that Joshua here will win via KO or TKO, not a unanimous decision, anyway, good luck!

The odds are pointing on a win by Anthony Joshua via knockout but i won't bite on that because 1.30 is not attractive at least for me. On the Joshua vs Ruiz 2 i won 5x by betting on Joshua to win by Decision so this time i will do the same. Betting odds of 4.50 is really attractive knowing that AJ is still not the same fighter before that lose to Ruiz so i think he will play this safe here and not force a KO.

I think I liked that odds, Anthony Joshua seems has transformed and want to be a Floyd Mayweather, so he will use his skills here and will not look for KO, instead a safe and easy win, so I'll go with that 4.50 but I got 4.85 now using a price boost in my bookie.

Obviously he's not going to say that he thinks he might lose or that he's doubting himself  . It's just mind-games that most fighters try do to either get in their opponents head or try sell the fight with drama, but if you actually listen to what they were saying in the close-up the media was blowing it out of proportion. They were actually being quite respectful and they were even fist-bumping (though rather aggressively I might ad): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0L1gu4ZcHeI

I'll be watching the fight tomorrow anyway especially since it's on at a reasonable time being held in the UK. I think AJ should win, but his loss to the chubby Mexican is making me cast doubt. Pulev has a similar record to AJ with only one loss so I wouldn't overlook a win from him.

[Baofeng]

Here's the full weigh in video as well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JYw8kGeSZ_Q

I agree, there's no pushing whatsoever and no disrespect, actually we can see the Pulev when he removed his face mask was just laughing his ass off. I wouldn't say that it was intense, just probably two boxers wanted to bring more hype. In the first place, they shouldn't allow this two to get closer to each other. 

Even Arum, Pulev's manager says that Pulev will knock out AJ, Lol, it's this a sign that they are going to duck AJ when we won tomorrow? (Fury is also under Bob management).

[btc_angela]

I like Pulev's confidence in this weigh-in and even before Joshua steps into and getting his weigh taken, Pulev's is already shouting at the background, Lol, he is the instigator in the fight. And Joshua pointing I would say that's disrespectful. Anyhow, I don't give Pulev a chance to win here, good that he is hyping and being confident, but as soon as Joshua hit that chin, boom, it's over. Joshua by KO.

[gabbie2010]

Give it to Anthony Joshua anyday, anytime, he so calm, calculated and has that confidence Pulev is just boasting and bragging, boxing is fought on a ring not by mere talking saying 'he has more energy and powerful'  https://www.bbc.com/sport/boxing/55277896  although a bit older than Anthony and has more wins that can never be a yardstick in winning a boxing match,  many pundits tipped Anthony as the potential winner its going to be an interesting match no doubt about that, I forsee Anthony Joshua knocking out Pulev before the end of the last round, I don't think it going to end in draw.

[Maslate]

Good luck on your prediction, and if you put some bet on it, that would be good. However, on my part, I realize that Joshua did not KO Ruiz in their last fight though he dominated him, so I was thinking maybe it will be the same scenario in this fight, hence, Joshua winning by decision is likely to happen.

[JollyGood]

It was funny watching the video though because Joshua simply did not expect Pulev to behave that way. The fight tonight will be interesting because we just do not know what Pulev will do but we know Joshua can try to jab around 12 rounds if need be. I will still go for a Joshua win but Pulev will not make it easy.

Pulev keep saying "tomorrow I show you" lol.. I understanding him, just trying to sell the fight but I hope to see his aggressiveness on their fight night so Joshua will not be careless and will just use his jab in the entire 12 rounds, he will still win anyway.

Ruiz was a lot harder to knock out. The man is a lot younger than Pulev who is only months shy of hitting 40. And not only that, Joshua must have also been very careful with that rematch because he knew very well that Ruiz is very much capable of knocking him out too. That happened in their first bout. That was kind of traumatic since it was Joshua's very first defeat.

This time, Joshua is faced with an old man without much knock out power, having only less than 50% wins by KO. I think Joshua will be very confident in this fight. Add to it the fact that the fight will be done in his home country.

[fortunecrypto]

Surprisingly Fury believes that Pulev can beat Joshua in this article he really believes and he expects Pulev to beat Joshua and he is not the only one even Bob Arum believes that Pulev can beat Joshua, makes the fight very interesting after reading these comments from the top promoter and boxer.

Arum - who also represents Pulev - said: "Pulev is big, rugged. Joshua is vulnerable and I really feel that Pulev will not only beat him, but will knock him out.

Well, they can make their own prediction but we know these people are clever, we don't know if what they are saying is what they think would happen in reality. I just don't understand, why would Fury not cheer on Joshua to win here when after this fight they will have a big fight that would help him make millions of dollars? It's just odd..

By the way, Arum could be wrong, what he said about Manny that he is too old to fight Thurman and Thurman would only hurt him did not happen, in fact, it was the opposite did happen, so don't believe on them.

Pulev can beat Joshua of course just as Joshua can also beat Pulev. They're both boxers of certain caliber. But the issue is whether Pulev's potential to beat Joshua will be translated into reality. Pulev is now approaching the end of his career while Joshua is still in his peak.

It seems Fury is encouraging Pulev so that when the time comes he will be an easier match for Fury to take than Anthony Joshua. Pulev is an easier opponent.

Of course, he has to be confident and if he's not that will make him not to be eligible to fight Joshua but what I don't like during his interview is him claiming to be a better boxer than Joshua and the last time I checked such a claim are not done by words but holding the title. However, i know deep down he's not capable of winning.
In the meantime, i met for Joshua to win by KO.

Great day for boxing fan like us, the awaited fight will happen in few hours so I'll relax for awhile and watch this fight. I hope this fight would last and it will not be a boring one, the key to make this fight entertaining is for Pulev to keep fighting as aggressive as he is.

Good luck to our bets.
