Wlad vs. Pulev: does anyone care?

Probably Wlad's most challenging fight since David Haye however, there's been little to no interst in this matchup at all (unless you're Shannon "the canon" Briggs"!).

Does anyone out there care? If so, it's live on Euorsport 2 coverage begins at 8pm.

I do but im probably a minority

I care enough to have checked sky sports/box nation to see if either were covering it so I could record it for tomorrow.(won't be going on media blackout though, will want to know in advance if it is just another klitscho bore fest so I can save myself 36 minutes..). Didn't think to check Eurosport though so cheers for the tip.

I care, its for the world title and I rate Wlad. Not the most exciting but its a decent test

I'm looking forward to it. A decent amateur, european champ, has a win over a young Solis though was beat by Camarrelle every time they met, I think.

6ft 4 with decent skills, an interesting matchup which I will make a point of watching

I'm watching. Missed the local card as tickets were too damn expensive, so I'll watch some boxing come hell or high water

I'm really looking forward to this fight. Pulev is a good fighter, and a very good test for Wlad. Pulev is a tough guy who will hopefully not be discouraged by Wlad's jab constantly hitting his face. Pulev also looks very strong, so hopefully won't be bullied, and this has been Wlad's gameplan for the past few years. Wlad is a master boxer, and I do think he'll be appreciated a bit more once he retires. He moves really well for a man of his size, and has genuine KO power. However, he does have that fragile chin, and hopefully Pulev will be able to land something, so we can see how Wlad reacts. Interesting fight I'd say. If you're a boxing fan, how could you not be interested in a Heavyweight title fight? Especially one where there is actually a chance for the upset. Pulev will probably get knocked out in the first two rounds now....

Anyone seen this? http://www.espn.go.com/extra/boxing/story?storyId=11873997&src=desktop&rand=ref~%7B%22ref%22%3A%22http%3A%2F%2Ft.co%2Fj5mYOmUG8H%22%7D&wjb

He plans to go as long as Bernard!

Not sure about lasting that long but he could probably go past 40

Anyone have a clue on the ring walk times? Dont finish work til late...

Due in the ring at five to ten Alex.

Anyone know where I can watch it?

Do you have a smartphone/ tablet/ catch up TV? You should be able to watch it on there.

Glad I'm not the only one watching!

Just got eurosport hope its worth it , really hope wlad is not able to get away with hes usual holding and leaning!

Yeah I'm watching. Never been one for the heavies but I'm hoping to see something competitive. Let's go Pulev!

I'm glad it doesn't clash with your night in watching X Factor.

Did anybody see the Roy Jones vs Fitzgerald figh?

You can get 2/1 on little brother winning via points tonight... Maybe I'm a little rusty, having not bet in a few months, but this seems like money printing on par with 5/1 on a Broner points win a few months back.

Shannon Briggs is here again. 'Let's go champ!'

He's a mad man ha

'I got the first ever iphone! The iphone 2!' Ha ha ha, Oh Shannon, you are the living end.

In all seriousness though, there's no way Klitschko isn't playing some part in this circus. It's so obviously set up.

He'll probably parachute in the ring for his next trick.

Here we go, Pulev looking composed...

What a left hook. People round these parts swear up and down he doesn't possess one.

Extremely. 

Especially the second time he went down....

Klits playing dangerous game, think he is trying to prolong it. That should be it over

Should have been done in one, Wlad left him off the hook

if pulev somehow survives, i can see wlad tiring - hes having to move his feet faster than normally because of pulevs jab. we'll see..things may change..

Lol, if this goes twelve, it could be more lopsided than the Alexander scorecard

great refereeing.

Fair play, he's had a go... But the ref needs to stop this now, he's taking some brutal shots

wlad's throwing his shots with spite which is nice to see.

Damn!!

That was a hell of a punch. 

Night night.

Yep that was a left hook & a half. Was just starting to put up a bit of a fight

Good performance, I await the brigade to come and slag his opposition as usual. Great punch

Damn, the left hook which I was told doesn't exist just cost me some money.

Formidable.

who told you that Raf?

What a finish, Klitschko could put anyone to sleep if he was more attacking.

Most entertaining Wlad fight in years. Still refuses to do anything but spoil up close but in terms of fighting to your strengths that was a great performance. Pulev got hit with some sickening shots. Wlad meant business tonight.

Well pulev came to have a go, but really he can go home and say 'honey I forgot to duck'. No head movement, wlad just couldn't miss with that left hook. Fair play to wlad, he was happy to oblige and let his hands go. Good to see a positive performance from him

Wonder what Kellerman and Atlas will say about that.

oh well. Another one bits the dust.

I'm sure they will praise it. Still done a bit of holding but he was throwing that hook with bad intentions. Still nobody out there to beat him.

Flicked over to sky card... Looks like we're watching the end of macklin's career.

... God my predictions are good.
