Yep, Mayweather turned him into a turtle. Still out of Wlad's last 10 opponents, the only one to see the final bell. We'll see how Haye does.
Iggy cashed in against Wlad and retired on the spot. If Haye loses he will likely follow Iggy into retirement.
Why didn't his superior trainer work on head-movement or prepare, in any way, for a fighter with Wlad's style? Considering all Ibragimovs talents and the tactical genius in his corner, shouldn't they have been able to come up with a gameplan where they could at least win a couple of rounds? Ibragimov was more effective when he was aggressive but, regardless of the style he would employ, he would be destroyed by Vitali.
how many guys won a round against wladimir besides the ones where he got knocked down? in the last couple of years, there was hmm...... tony thompson and hmm. there is no one!
I'd have thought if Ibragimov was as good as you think, he'd have been able to match the kind of performance Thompson put in. Wlad not dropping rounds is as much a testament to the paucity of good Heavyweights as it is to his ability.
i disagree quite strongly with the ts. haye is quicker, better reflexes and more powerful. ibragimove beats him in terms of chin and stamina. haye also has a better resume then sultan and that says something!
Haye a better resume? no,. its the same. Sultan throws better combos and just as quick. probably a better chin 2. I guess sultan is in limbo now.
