Review: 2014-11-15, Wladimir Klitschko vs Kubrat Pulev gets three stars only thanks to a good finish. Wladimir Klitschko entered this fight with a professional boxing record of 62-3-0 (52 KOs=84%) and he is ranked as the No.1 heavyweight in the world, he suffered his last defeat in 2004 when he faced Lamon Brewster for the vacant Wbo belt, since then he has collected twenty consecutive victories taking revenge on Brewster in 2007; Klitschko has fought once in 2014 beating Alex Leapai (=Klitschko vs Leapai).
His opponent, the undefeated Kubrat Pulev, has a perfect record of 20-0-0 (11 knockouts) and he entered as the No.2 in the same weight class but he has never fought for a world title, he won the IBF International Hw title in 2011 defeating Travis Walker (=Pulev vs Walker) and the EBU (European) title against Alexander Dimitrenko in 2012 (=Pulev vs Dimitrenko). Klitschko vs Pulev is valid for the WBA, IBF, WBO and IBO World heavyweight titles (all held by Klitschko). Watch the video and rate this fight!

Typical Klitschco fight. Use long reach and hold.
Thx to the site for posting as always
only povetkin and haye can confront wlad,the rest are only amateurs
Though it was a great KO
this is the worst fight I’ve seen from Wlad in regards to boxing.
Prefer his early days when he actually boxed.
cristi- Im really unsure what you refer to.
Pulev would have KO’d Haye. Povetkin – unfortunately for him, he is a real heavy weight in a world of Super Heavy’s.
Very disorganized fight and quite difficult for Steel to control it. Does Pulev has a right arm?. He never use it at all so was unlikely for him to win a fight against Wlad who is an excellent boxer. However, I did not like Wlad’s boxing in this match but the knock out which was really good.
