Kubrat Pulev stopped Bogdan Dinu in the seventh round of a wild back and forth heavyweight battle, that might -- emphasis on might -- have fans willing to accept a fight between him and Anthony Joshua, seeing how Pulev is the No. 1 contender for Joshua’s IBF belt. Well, it might have if Pulev didn’t make the most boneheaded post-fight move we’ve seen from a boxer in a very long time.
The reason Pulev’s win garnered so much excitement is two-fold: It was an inspiring come from behind win and a dramatic knockout.
