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

[bisdak40]

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.

The fight is about to start now and for those who want to watch it live, see the link below.

Hope Pulev won't be too aggressive as might see a short fight and lost my bet lol.

After two rounds it still is unclear who will win, too much defensive attitude from both of them...

This won't go the distance.  . Pulev was careless in the thirdsecond round.

edit:

I thought that Pulev have recovered from that brutal beating in the second round but the Joshua uppercut is very lethal and did damage to Pulev that ended the night for him in the ninth round.

ROUND 3:

Pulev got battered badly. Joshua knocked him down twice, first when Pulev turned his back and the second was a clean knock down.

Joshua failed to finish him off in the round !!



ROUND 4:

Joshua failed to cause damage to Pulev and allowed him to get back in to the fight. Pulev is not done yet.



ROUND 5:

Pulev landed a couple of one-two combinations directly on to the head of Joshua. Joshua started jabbing again...



ROUND 6:

Not sure what I just saw here because sure Joshua looks like he could unleash punches while he dances around Pulev and jabs him but Pulev is throwing right-handers that are missing Joshua. Strange fight.



ROUND 7:

A good combination and flurry of uppercuts from Joshua but no damage done to Pulev. For his return, Pulev is throwing punches back and seems to have fully recovered from the round knock downs.



ROUND 8:

Pulev caught Joshua with a one-two combination and apart from that nothing much happened in this round. Pulev is getting more and more aggressive as the fight goes on while is still jabbing and trying to control the fight.



ROUND 9:

Joshua knocks out Pulev. It is all over.

What's your assessment on Joshua?

Is he ready to face the Gypsy King and be the king in the Heavyweight division?

[JollyGood]

I think Fury will beat Joshua, simple as that.

I don't think that Joshua has the tool to beat Fury at this point. Although Joshua has matured after the lost against Ruiz, Fury is well rounded and all around though. And we have seen that Fury has the chin or at least can recover very quickly after a hard knock-down, while Joshua's chin has been broken by Ruiz already. So I couldn't imagine if Fury hit's him with the same power that he gave Wilder in the trilogy. I think he can knock out Joshua cold.

Joshua won by a TKO in the ninth round he won all rounds it was an easy fight for Joshua those hard uppercuts gave Pulev wobbly legs and Joshua finish it with a straight right this will set up a fight against Fury, and Joshua have proven that Bob Arum and Fury is very wrong in giving a prediction about the fight.

He's ready, but most probably, Furry will be the favorite.

Joshua was, without a doubt, was the better player tonight. Pulev doesn't stand a chance (and cost me my bet Joshua to win by decision As I read somewhere after the match - Pulev was awkward but not a threat...

[JollyGood]

Certainly was not a TKO because Pulev was unable to stand up after he hit the canvas. If the referee had stopped the fight while Pulev was standing then yes it would be a TKO but that did not happen.

Fury vs Joshua will happen in 2021 and with a re-match clause inserted they will have two fights. If it ends up being 1-1 then a trilogy will have to settle it but for me Fury will win.

[TravelMug]

That uppercut though, it was successive that put Pulev and then after that he was hit by an overhand right and his face is bloodied. So it was really a mismatch as AJ was really having some fun in the fight and just smiling.

As for Joshua vs Fury, I do agree with most posters, I will favour Fury as well, Gypsy King is well rounded, has a good chin has the height advantage and I would say has experienced because he has a better resume than Joshua. Let's hope that we can see them in the ring in 2021.

Yes, Joshua is on cruise control in this fight, in the third round Pulev was also down. So at that point we have seen what Joshua can do, it's just a matter of time for him to get a knock out again. We know where Bob Arum and Fury is coming from, of course they wanted their boy Pulev to win, but it ain't happening and no upset here.

I believed that Joshua vs Fury will happen soon, there's too much money to make for this domestic fight.

If that match will happen, that will be money-making game for both camps. As I went back on this thread, I voted for Joshua also as it seemed that this was really an easy fight for Joshua. Anyway, maybe time to lock this thread and create another discussion thread for Joshua's next fight. 

[FinneysTrueVision]

Joshua did what we all expected him to do. Now it is time to make the fight everybody wants to see against Tyson Fury. There is still the legal action by Deontay Wilder against Fury and also Joshua might be mandated to fight Usyk. I think Joshua should just drop the WBO belt if he is forced to make that fight or pay a really big step aside fee to Usyk. Joshua vs. Fury is the only fight that matters in the division and they should put politics aside to make it happen.

[coin-investor]

Pulev is just all talk and tries to bully Joshua before the fight, Joshua just made a big statement and he proves that he is back and he is still dangerous, now all talks will be on the Fury Joshua fight, this is the fight that must happen and it should happen in 2021 in times when the pandemic will be totally controlled.

Game over, that upper cut hit Pulev clean, he was able to survive but the next shot was the straight right and he wasn't able to rise again. Congratulations to Anthony Joshua for this big win, he was so focus, so he deserved this win.  Yay!, next fight will be Fury vs Joshua.

[robelneo]

Joshua proves himself too much for Pulev people thought he will be a technical fighter after his loss to Ruiz but he proves that he is the same Joshua that can knock out anybody in the ring and now all roads go to the Joshua - Fury fight which is fortunately for us will happen this 2021
I hope the fight will not be delayed the only two fighters missing on Joshua's resume are Fury and Wilder, if he beat these two fighters he will become the greatest fighter of this generation.

Yes, Joshua proves himself again, finished the part of his bargain, and then we will wait what the arbitration on Wilder Fury next year. And if everything goes smooth we will see Fury vs Joshua then. That is the fight we wanted to see. We are tired of Wilder's drama and antics.

I hope the fight will not be delayed the only two fighters missing on Joshua's resume are Fury and Wilder, if he beat these two fighters he will become the greatest fighter of this generation. 

Again, still boils down to the arbitration, if the mediator see that and mandated a Fury vs Wilder first, then Joshua vs Fury might wait for a bit. (Fury needs to win against Wilder though).

Promoters should understand that there is huge money and interest that will generate if the Joshua - Fury happens than the Fury Wilder 3, fans especially the British people wants to see who is the greatest British heavyweight boxer and probably the greatest boxer of this generation, so much is at stake on this fight, then the Fury Wilder trilogy.

I'm hoping that the most awaited match up will be realized next year, let's give them a little break and a big preparation next year.
It would be nice if they'll announce the fight as early as possible so it will create some hype and will help them generate a lot of money since that's what they want.

then the Fury Wilder trilogy.

I believe no one would be interested in this fight after the Fury vs Joshua, cause they might have a rematch if it will be a controversial fight.
