Though the majority here think Joshua will have a win, how many think it will not be straight forward? Pulev is a dangerous fighter, just look at his record.

[freedomgo]

It's impossible to say that Pulev can win this match, but I'm sure this will be an exciting match for everyone, the only thing that is unfortunate is the odds are so different  With a small hope, I still want Pulev to win despite his chances 

I would say it's not impossible, anything can happen here.

Maybe let's try to analyze and compare Joshua's fights being the heavy favorites.

1st fight against Ruiz, the odds were.

Joshua  -2100
Ruiz +1125

Today's fight.  https://www.oddsshark.com/boxing/joshua-pulev-odds-and-pick

Joshua -1400
Pulev +750


Look at the comparison, Ruiz even have a better odds compared to Pulev and he won the fight, so upset is possible in this fight too.

Not really, although he is old, but because he is old and he has paid a lot of matches, he has a lot of experience, it is not easy for him to run out of gas in 30 minutes, it will take more time. I still believe that Pulev can make something, a surprise that is different from his victory.

Pulev will fight AJ at 39 years old (almost 40) when many boxers start thinking about their retirement. Yea, probably Pulev would look fine and tireless, but in reality, his age couldn't cope with AJ's physical presence.

However, anything can happen in boxing, and especially this is IMO, the last chance Pulev would have a title fight. If he lost, he could say "bye-bye" to his dream forever. The betting odds also way better compared to Wilder.

Speaking of age and anything can happen in the gane of boxing, will need to face the reality and fact aspect about things in some occassion like this.
1) No boxer in the history could say he cant run out of gas.
2) Age can not be cheated cause it nature.
3) The experience Anthony got from klitschko is enough for him to beat Pulev
4) Pulev age range is in the stage of retiring and i believe he's after this fight for quick money before his retirement.

This is going to be a demolition job that's for sure.

Look what Joshua did to Povetkin, who is arguably a better version of Pulev—knocked him out in devastating fashion.

I personally think that Pulev is far too slow and clunky to pose much of a threat to AJ. So it's going to be an early stoppage, probably a serious knockout in the 4th or 5th.

The odds aren't good enough for me to bother betting on it though, the event will probably get cancelled anyway due to the virus outbreak.

Damn... but at least they are warned long before about possibility of delay or cancelation. I’m sure they haven't event started preparation camp and just do regular trainings.

I wonder if there is a sport, event, organization, or anything that has not been impacted by COVID-19. Everything, simply everything is delayed, cancelled or closed...

I think July is being optimistic.

A huge number of different events are going to get cancelled and competition for venue space when things die down is going to be intense.

That said, the boxing event is likely able to pay more than most other events, so it's still possible.

Gives Anthony Joshua an even better chance anyway, since Pulev will be another month older.

Makes sense to move the fight to a later date as we all know that the corona virus pandemic has really the world by storm and it seems there's no stopping, As Floyd said, "Health comes first". But this is just delaying the inevitable for Pulev.

@TopTort777 - only the Olympics is not cancelling the games, although it will be held in July and we don't know, maybe that time a vaccine has been discovered already, or the contamination has been contained already.

The news says it could be delayed, its not final yet, so maybe they are still optimistic that the vaccine will be discover soon.
Anyway a little unrelated video on the fight, I just found it while browsing in youtube.

This Kubrat Pulev is a sweet person, he kissed a reporter, lol.

Just hope they wont make it as UFC last even - "behind closed doors". Sadly not much is known was it worth doing such an event and did they earned on PPV.

About that kiss - funny, that after that California State Athletic Commission suspended his licence and that reporter took legal actions against Pulev for sexual harassment I don't understand why he did that, that doesn't look like Bulgarian tradition

[JollyGood]

Yes it will not be going ahead but we are waiting for official confirmation.

I not so sure though that Joshua will demolish him. when it does take place it will be an interesting fight where Joshua will need to box clever against a dangerous opponent.

This is going to be a demolition job that's for sure.

You should not blame Kubrat Pulev for this kiss. If you can see the full video, you can see that the reporter is also not wearing a decent dress and anyone can kiss her if she wear such a dress.

You're totally correct with what you said because the reporter dress and analysis shows that ladies lips gently and subtly lick or bite your lips while talking to a guy is the strategy used by ladies to attract men with body language. So, i wouldn't be surprised if Pulev kissed her cause he seem to understand what the reporter is trying to do.
With that been said, lets hope an effective vaccination will detect for COVID-19 before the fight date.

I heavily agree one of the youtube comment that i have seen about this issue;

"Timing is everything and he found an opening. Boxing is truly universal."
LOL!

I cant blame Puleve for that one yet that one doesnt look like a reporter.

That is not an excuse, round girls are even wearing sexier clothes but I don't see them being harassed, Kubrat Pulev is just too careless, not thinking of the legal action after the action, and I hope he will not only be aggressive with girls but also with fighter inside the ring.

In Covid-19 related news,

Anthony Joshua remains 'fit and healthy' despite coming into contact with Prince Charles only a couple of weeks before the heir to the throne tested positive for coronavirus.

The world heavyweight champion is following government guidelines around self-isolation but has shown no symptoms of the deadly disease, which threatens to derail his upcoming fight with Kubrat Pulev.

On Wednesday, Prince Charles became the most high-profile member of the British establishment to contract coronavirus, with Clarence House announcing that the 71-year-old had been showing mild symptoms 'but otherwise remains in good health'.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/sportsnews/article-8151323/Anthony-Joshua-fit-healthy-meeting-Prince-Charles-contracted-coronavirus.html

Well we all know by now that the virus is asymptomatic (30%), but it's good that he feels great, but still he needs to self isolate and we do hope that he doesn't have the infection.

The situation becomes more harder because of that asymptomatic thing where people cant be easily detect out as early as possible because of this one which would worsen even more.
By the way,thanks for giving out the link about AJ is still fine in spite on meeting Prince Charles which ad been tested positive but still not an assurance as long the isolation
isnt over yet.

That is not an excuse, round girls are even wearing sexier clothes but I don't see them being harassed, Kubrat Pulev is just too careless, not thinking of the legal action after the action, and I hope he will not only be aggressive with girls but also with fighter inside the ring.

Every careless move would have corresponding consequence.I dont know if that reporter do made some legal action with that incident.

I search and I found that there was an action by the boxing organization regarding that, the lady complained so he got sanction.

Pulev, a heavyweight contender known as "The Cobra," was also ordered during a commission hearing to attend sexual harassment prevention classes and pay a $2,500 (£2,000) fine before he can fight again in the state of California in July.

I wonder if a kiss is worth making a denunciation? It was simply a kiss  I'm sure he didn't have any ill intentions, maybe his careless action. I know that many girls don't like it, but this reporter is being outrageous. She did that because she was a reporter  and the reporter must keep herself-image.
The epidemic is terrible and there is no stopping. It was like a purge  The purge will not stop until the results are satisfactory  Everything will be postponed longer, but cheer up, we have more time to anticipate
