Ibragimov will win a clear cut decision, but Holyfield will have his moments. I had really been looking forward to a unifacation bout. Too bad, but this match-up will also be kind of interesting. Probably the end of Holyfield.
This will be an easy fight for sultan. DOn't forget how bad Holyfield looked against Toney and Donald. Holyfield needs to retire and I think Sultan is the man to do it.
split even so far...... I think its a pretty common consensus that it will be a close competitive fight either way it goes.
Holyfield might look good vs older fighters or weak oppositon, but Ibragimov is neither of the above. He's going to knock Holyfield out.
Ibragamov by close decision, possibly made wider by biased judging. Ibragamov is easily Holy's best shot, but I'm not sure Evander has the legs to keep up with a more active fighter anymore. There are about 15 other guys I'd pick to beat Ibragamov head to head, but Holy's not one of them.
Ibragimov wins this big. Holyfield might have looked good against Lou Savarese but that fight doesn't hold much worth to me. Savarese is shot. And Holy hasn't fought anybody of real significance in several years. Plus I still saw signs of the same problem with Holyfield - an inability to pull the trigger at key times. I'm sure Holy will have his moments but Ibragimov is an elite fighter.
Ibragimov by ko unless there is head butting or some other form of Holyfield cheating. Holyfield should not even have a top 15 rating much less a title shot. He has fought one guy who is top 50 since his return...Oquendo. big deal.
