Comments Thread For: Klitschko-Pulev Early Results From Hamburg

[phatcatboxing]

Apparently he caused more problems then the much faster, much harder hitting, much more athletic David Haye. And it can't be because Wlad wasn't as good today as he was against Haye.

Just because it doesn't look flashy doesn't mean it isn't skills.

To be fair, it was Pulev's size and strength, allowing him to be competitive in the clinch, that caused Wlad problems - pretty much nothing to do with his actual boxing skills.

Good fight, and good win! Now fight briggs!

haye with the right trainer and giving it 100000% could give wlad a long night, people like to forget he hurt wlad bad in the 12th and had him leaning/grabbing tough. I don't see wilder beating wlad especially if he shows up throwing like he was here

People like to forget that if Haye would have tried to engage Wlad he would have been KOed.

Great win, dominant champ! Klitschko looked great!

LOL @ Klitchko fans that paid for another farce

I like Wlad, but I have a feeling somebody is going to get through to that chin and put him out.
And man that knockout was brutal. I feel bad for Pulev, but it happens. Good luck to Both.

Yes. People also forget what an embarrassment Haye's performance was. I attach a British recap of Haye's embarrassing performance just to remind those who act as if Haye was even competitive in that fight--he was not. Note the headline: David Haye Damaged British Boxing.

Klitschko can crack ! I thought about Sonny Liston, he was a killer, long arms and could crush you with that left hook, had a style that has never been duplicated.

I have nothing against Klitschko but I miss the days of the Great American Heavyweights.

Terrible write-up. "Klitschko did what he always does, clutched, jabbed and grabbed his way to victory". Did this dude watch the fight? Or just check the headlines, see Wlad won, then just start writing? It was a good performance against the number 1 contender and Wlad knocked him down multiple times before a brutal KO. I was entertained.

[Slowhand]

Iīm really getting bored of all the haters. The champ fought the no 1 challenger and slapped him silly in a very fast pace fight (for two big HWs). What more do you want? I know Wlad isnīt a black American fighter but who gives a *****. And I still rate Pulev at #3, right behind Wlad and Povetkin. True boxing fans should recognize and appreciate excellence and undeniable punching power when they see it. If thatīs too much to ask.. just shut up.
