[edit] Out cheating him?

"not only winning the rounds but out cheating the world-renowned Penn" What does this mean exactly? It looks a lot like vandalism.Hexrei 17:39, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Never

Jens didn't write the book Never. Someone else wrote it about his life. Just thought I should mention this. (MgTurtle 18:26, 23 June 2007 (UTC)).

[edit] Bantamweight

Pulver was orignally the bantamweight champ (150 lbs) not the lightweight champ (155 lbs). I changed it. MedievalScholar 18:48, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Eyes?

Is it necessary to put on here that his eyes are different colors?Seems somewhat worthless to me, but does anyone else have an opinion?(MgTurtle (talk) 21:28, 27 December 2007 (UTC)).

[edit] Biased

This article seems a bit too biased to me. Could use some serious clean-up. "Pulver battled back in the third round, successfully defending Penn’s attempts to take him to the ground, and even scoring defensive takedowns on Penn. Pulver frustrated Penn with nothing more than sheer will power, not only winning the later rounds, but out-grappling the world-renowned Penn. In the fifth round, Penn, frustrated and down on points, chose to stand and trade with Pulver. For the entire five minutes of the fifth round the two stood toe to toe exchanging strikes. At one point a left hand from Pulver staggered Penn, but the round drew to a conclusion and the fight went into the judges' hands." - Pulver did NOT outgrapple Penn, the entire text is biased.

"His first match in PRIDE was against current-PRIDE lightweight (160 lb) champion Takanori Gomi. Though he would lose this fight, his toughness and striking ability were immediately apparent to both the fans and the promoters." - He got his ass kicked badtime, nothing else.

"Despite being temporarily blinded in one eye, Pulver nearly knocked out Sakurai with a left hook in the latter part of the first round. Sakurai eventually won by TKO 8:56 into the fight." - Not very informative, and once again the entire article feels biased. (Penz0r 12:03, 17 January 2008 (UTC))

Sounds like a lot of peacocking to me. If you have the time, feel free to clean it up! Gromlakh (talk) 14:03, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
