    Sultan will be the faster and more aggressive puncher for the first few rounds. But, Holyfield will be the more effective puncher down the stretch. Holyfield by TKO 9.

    I remember people wanted to ban Holyfield from fighting, were thinking about his health but now when he is fighting for a title after defeating some journeman, people are picking him to win, amazing.

    Yeah, a lot of them are hypocrites.
    Said a lot of harsh things about him now they think he has a chance.

    I've been behind Holyfield all the way.
    He's got a good chance of beating Sultan, IMO, as long as he doesn't get injured.

    Sultan Ibragimov hasn't impressed me at all, so far.

    I think Holyfield knocks this dude the **** out!
    Round 9, clean KO.
    That left hook he landed on Savarese.
    I can see it going the way it did with Foreman and Moorer.
    Sultan outworking Holy, Holy landing a couple quality hits here and there, taking the heat. Then a surge of energy from Holy, Sultan swat with his jab, drops his right hand a touch, and blam, Holy KO's the dude.

    Heard it here first!

    You are thinking of Holyfield of 1997, its 2007 now.

    The left hook he landed on Savarese was one of the best - if not the best - he's ever thrown, and that's saying something.
    His timing is good, his punches have snap.

    Offensively he looks very capable. It's whether he can slip incoming shots and counter against a young opponent that are questionable. We'll have to wait to see.

    Holyfield's workrate is too poor to win rounds. Ibraghimov easy UD.

    this is better than your pick of Briggs to easily beat Sultan, at least this time Sultan doesn't have to fear a big KO. Sultan easily wins a UD if not
    a late KO. and you will dissapear for a while after this fight also.

    yeah looking impressive against a 40 something Saverse does not translate into giving Sultan a beating, sultan beats him to the punch every time.

    I'm going with my heart here, Holyfield by close SD. He comes in angry and roughs Sultan up enough to receive a close decision.

    That's pretty much how I see it, Sultan will win the fight on workrate alone. I'm not impressed with Sultan very much at all, but he is better than any of the stiffs Holyfield has fought Bates and afterwards.
