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

[btc_angela]

Tyson Fury Won against Deontay Wilder and put a record of lost in his career, Anthony Joshua should have taken Tyson Fury as his next opponent but Kubrat Pulev is a mandatory opponent for him, but if this goes well for Joshua I think that will be the next fight for him to take,

No choice though, he needs to face his mandatory otherwise he will be stripped on his belt.
And I'm sure that Joshua will get the lion share of the split. So still a win win situation and if he ever go and win against Pulev, then he can wait for the winner of Wilder vs Fury trilogy.

Apparently even though Kubrat Pulev had a good record in his career with only one lost to Wladimir Klitschko I think his 28 wins is nothing to Joshua's 23 wins over his career at the age of only 30, he is pulling out something like this, So I think their Age, in my opinion, may have an impact to Kubrat Pulev.

Everything is good on paper for Pulev, but he hasn't face a fighter like Anthony Joshua.

I really feel that if it goes to a points decision things might get very controversial. Pulev has a history of getting points decisions in his favour, he is no walkover. Joshua should try to knock him out early on instead of letting the fight go on longer than it needs to.

Since Joshua lives in North London it would not be a problem for him to sell that many tickets. For any heavyweight title fight it should be easy to sell that many tickets in a city the size of London.

It is estimated around 65,000 spectators will pack in to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium (London) on 20th June 2020.

Anthony Joshua always had the skills to fill a stadium even if he faces journeyman fighters and hence it is not a big surprise that it will be another blockbuster show.

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.

Kubrat Pulev is not known for his knockout power but he is a defensive boxer and has a really great jab and has an extensive amateur background and if Anthony Joshua tries the same game plan i am sure Kubrat Pulev will out point Joshua, he needs to be aggressive with his approach looking for a knockout rather than looking to win on points.

Many people here think that Anthony Joshua will win, but I don't think so, or at least it will be a very difficult victory  I read a few news, they said that Bob Arum made a statement: Pulev will take down Joshua, then the British champion will retire  He will put pressure on Joshua and knockout Joshua completely  I believe in the judgment of this long-time boss

Wow, Arum just trying to sell the fight or maybe wants bettors to put their bet on Pulev.
Anthony Joshua had a very good KO percentage of 91%, so let's see if he can knock a heavy puncher like AJ, maybe Pulev was thinking that he could imitate what Ruiz did to AJ, and retirement? I don't think so as there's more money in the rematch.

not unless there is something behind that Arum's word then things may change but if we will go a fair fight?even how we look at this match?it wasn't that match after all because AJ is more tougher and good record also Fit compared to Pulev.

and checking the record of two specially their recent fights?it is for sure Joshua will bring down Pulev even in the first 5 quarters.

Anthony Joshua predicts the round in which he will knock out Kubrat Pulev

When pressed to give a prediction on the fight, Joshua simply said: "Round 11."

[YuginKadoya]

I tell you, even if AJ would fight Wilder if Wilder would loss in the 3rd fight, I am still putting my bet on Wilder.

I also think that Wilder could beat AJ if they could clash right now and with the previous Deontay Wilder VS Tyson Fury match I never thought that Wilder could lose on Fury, but as the fight goes Tyson Fury really is aggressive on their match and pushing Wilder back, A busted ear and the throwing of a towel was the finale of the fight.

That's why the betting odds say so, Joshua to win by 1.07 only, nobody would take that bet.

I certainly also think that the fight will end up with Joshua winning this the odds really is speaking a majority for Anthony Joshua.

No choice though, he needs to face his mandatory otherwise he will be stripped on his belt.
And I'm sure that Joshua will get the lion share of the split. So still a win win situation and if he ever go and win against Pulev, then he can wait for the winner of Wilder vs Fury trilogy.

A rematch is given if Wilder would lose the match against Fury, I never thought that Deontay would lose to Fury but as I have seen the match Fury keeps on pushing Wilder back and even busted his ear in the process but I am excited in seeing an Anthony Joshua VS Deontay Wilder fright than an Anthony Joshua VS Tyson Fury, let's just say that I want Wilder to really win this.

Everything is good on paper for Pulev, but he hasn't face a fighter like Anthony Joshua.

Well, I really am not interested in Pulev cause, in my opinion, Joshua would surely win this, but I would still consider not let Joshua put his guard down on Pulev in my opinion every fighter should not underestimate his opponent, because Kubrat Pulev still has an error of near undefeated.

Poll added: "Who will win"

I chose Joshua to win. Who will you choose?

[alexsandria]

This two, anthony joshua and kubrat pulev is both veteran when it comes on boxing industry but i think the one who will dominate on this match will be anthony joshua as i watch fred videos and highlights on anthony joshua defeated and dominate his own enemies via knockout and i think this will be also against kubrat pulev. so in this much i will just go on anthony joshua based on my statistical analysis when it comes to boxing.

[Rosilito]

Not trying to be biased here. But I think this match would be going to Anthony Joshua. Total record based Pulev is on the edge over Joshua, Pulev had more expeirience but having more than 5 matches isn't that far though as Anthony have more belts than Pulev, and more knockout counts on his record. Easy to say that Anthony has more punch/knocking out power over the challenger. Hence, Anthony are going to wreck Kulev here but I think Kulev aren't going to hold back either. Although it sounds pre-decided, surely, Kulev are going to give Anthony a hard time in this show. These two would put a bloody match up here since this ain't just a normal match.

[fortunecrypto]

There's a poll now and out of three that participate including no one voted for Pulev, obviously Joshua is far more powerful and skill between the two, by the way, here is an article where Joshua give the round where he will knock out Pulev, his prediction is much more modest than Fury's prediction against Wilder.

According to votes, no one believes in Kurbat Pulev. And the reason probably is Pulev's age. 38 is a lot. The best of him were 2013-2014, or the time before he was knockout with Klitschko. Don't know... I don't see how Pulev would win this match. The only way he could win is by an accident punch

Joshua isn't the most defensively sound fighter. He beat Ruiz the second time by being extremely cautious, but also using his superior fitness to keep the distance, and his superior reach to score the points. Honestly, I thought Ruiz when getting within range looked the most dangerous of the two despite Ruiz not turning up to that fight. Joshua has been rocked by a few boxers in his career, because he likes to get close, and exchange big blows, leaving him rather susceptible to these "punches from the gods". Don't get me wrong I do want a Joshua win just because it sets up the fight against Fury nicely (as long as he goes on to beat Wilder for the third time )

Six voters and that includes me and all for Joshua obviously I will not rule out an upset but Joshua knows very well how to be a victim of upset and I'm pretty sure that he will not let that happen, and besides Pulev is not even as good as Ruiz I don't know if there will be brave bettor to bet in favor of Pulev.

[Yaunfitda]

I picked Joshua as well. So it's 7 for Joshua now, boxing fans here are very knowledgeable so everyone is using for Joshua simply because he is the better fighter.

Yes, we can't rule an upset, but I'm sure that Joshua has learned his lesson very well from his Andy Ruiz fight. "Never underestimate your opponent mentality" now for him.

[JollyGood]

In the end, it is a fight. One solid punch from Pulev landing when Joshua lowerrs his guard would end the fight like wise the same from Joshua landing one on Pulev. Anything can happen but the odds are favouring Joshua.

[dothebeats]

Pulev has been quiet as of late, and due to his old age in boxing terms, he might get easily outworked and outlasted by Joshua in the ring. Then again, there's a possibility that he might take the win for himself and get one of the biggest upsets in 2020. We have nust seen Pacquiao still doing pretty good at the frail age of 40, and for boxers to still be in shape, form and speed at that age is darn impressive, and we'll see whether Pulev here will prove--just like Pacquiao--that age is uat a number. On most aspects of this fight though, I expect a Joshua win by a huge margin.

Dont know why there are people who do think up this way? Anything can happen on the boxing ring and we know that upsets can happen
anytime.So theres no such thing about conclusions even no matter how good we do look at it.

Pulev is old but doesnt mean that he cant swing out any solid punch and also its just normal to see about favorites when it comes to betting.
I would say that i can risk out some dollars on Kubrat.

Okay, I'll vote for Kubrat Pulev, not that I am expecting him to win but because I am taking chances betting on his  very attractive odds.
No doubt Joshua is a very good fighter compared to Kubrat Pulev, but upset is nothing new in boxing, or in any sport.

The poll is about who will win and not about which has attractive odds. Should it really read 8-0 then
