    I won't be buying it but if there's nothing going on in the house and the kids and missus are in bed early i'll hook up the fire stick and give it watch,

    If not it'll be up early Sunday and watch it

    Really I think Pulev is tailor made for a early AJ KO,
    He's to stiff and slow and doesn't punch hard enough,

    not a bad shout id say he is annoyed with all the praise Fury is getting and will want to make a big statement here.

    Will be interesting to see Joshua's approach and whether he fights aggressive or not. The Joshua that fought Povetkin would KO Pulev early imo. Whether the demons are still there from the first Ruiz fight which stops him from taking risks remains to be seen.

    28 euro during a pandemic is a total disgrace btw. I'll be watching but not a chance I'm paying that.

    €28? Jesus, not a hope. Cant really see the point in having a Sky Sports subscription if you are a boxing fan.

    Really taking a dislike to Hearn recently. I think initially when he took over from his father he took British Boxing up off its knees but of late I think its people like him that have the sport in the state it is.
    Also his comments on Daniel Dubois were pretty disgusting.

    I have decided to not pay..

    The undercard is crap..

    So, you’re paying 28 euro to watch AJ against an over the hill old man..

    Great odds but I can see AJ being cautious first few rounds while he feels Pulev out.

    Can you get Sky Sports Box Office if you're not subscribed to Sky Sports? No chance of ever watching any half decent British fighter without Box Office.
    Lomenchenko vs Lopez was on Sky Sports.

    Vlad should have had him out in round 1 and the old joshua at least is a much more aggressive finisher,

    i could be wrong but i cant see a whole lot in pulevs back catalogue that gives him much of a chance here.

    how do you watch this if you're on Eir does anyone know? Or is it even possible? I'm a dinosaur with this PPV stuff.
    Anyway yes will prob be a walkover but you never know with AJ, he might not be as dominant as you think.

    I think pulev will suit AJ. Seems to stand right in front of his opponent with no head movement.

    Joshua talks some absolute ****e.

    Like a man who is employing a life coach to boost his confidence or something.

    Enjoy watching him because he's vulnerable. Pulev is basic as hell but he's game enough. And Joshua is beatable.

    If AJ starts fast and aggressive this could be done in one!!!

    Pulev is old, hittable, slow...

    I'm thinking of backing Pulev tonight. I thought it was incredible how fragile AJ looked against Ruiz, and how scared of getting hit he looked in the second fight. Then I listened to a podcast with Karl Froch making the same points as I just made, and now I'm not so sure!

    11/2 I think is a good value bet. Any takers?

    I have a feeling Pulev will be simply too slow and ponderous to nail AJ with speedy/sharp shots..

    Klitch wobbled him and he was past it at that point
    Parker would have got the better of him only for the ref stepping in constantly
    Eddie is protecting his cash cow as much as he can, maybe a mandatory will catch him out but at this age old I’m not holding out much hope of pulev doing it
    At 11/2 it’s worth a small bet just for interest


    Anyone fancy wach to take out fake fury ?

    I couldn't get over how small Fury looked next to him. They are all monsters.

    Wach shot to bits. Struggling to see an avenue for him to win tbh. He's not outboxing Fury and I think Fury has a decent chin so can't see him getting stopped. Only hope would be for Fury to get cut which has happened before tbf but couldn't talk myself into backing against him.

    Think pulev can do it, we all know Joshua's chin is dodgy.

    There’s a decent pay out if Pulev does win but I think he has a snowball’s chance in hell. He might look ok, durable and pig ignorant enough to hang on in there but I’m expecting Joshua KO in round 4.

    I’m watching bakole and the dazn commentators talk absolute nonsense, it’s like they forgot about this fight and started talking about Dillian whyte being over weight last year
