Does anyone think the weak chinned Ibragimov will have a chance against Wlad?

I'm a Wlad hater and I give Ibragimov less than a 5% chance in this fight. Ibragimov has only been successful at the "top level" (Briggs/Holyfield ) because he fought the easiest, safest possible way against guys who have are old, have bad work rates, and don't have big stylistic advantages over him. He won't be able to fight using his new defensive/counter-punching style because he will get outboxed easily and his only other option is to fight an aggressive fight.. which will end as soon as Klitschko lands one right hand. This will probably end very early, unless Ibragimov just runs and fights completely safe, which I think is a pretty good possibility. Either way, he's gonna get knocked out eventually and his only chance of winning is by connecting a few consecutive big shots, which will not happen.

Ibragimov is taking the wrong fight for his career.. he was already thinking about when he should retire and if he gets Ray Austin'd by Wlad then that will be a direct sign to make his parents happy and leave the sport. I'm hoping Klitschko destroys him quickly, so his hype gets even bigger before the eventual Povetkin fight.

 

I think Sultans taking the early retirement plan by fighting Wlad, he will play it safe in this fight by moving around Wlad trying counter punch him, which probably wont work and by the middle rounds Wlad will finish him off by opening up on him.

I dont however see Povetkin beating Wlad either, I do give him a better chance than Iggy though. I see Povetkin putting up a good fight through the first 6 and possibly winning on the scorecards until Wlad catches him with something big in the 8th or 9th that hurts him, I see Povetkin putting up a spirted effort and eventually falling short towards the championship rounds. Wlad by TKO in the 9th against Povetkin.

 

IF Klitschko gets in a clean hit then we will find out how good Ibragimov's chin really is, but only IF......

 

You're making it seem like he's some kind of great defensive fighter. There is no question Ibragimov will get caught easily.

 

This fight would be similar to Eliseo Castillo fight..sultan run for his life a couple rounds and then he get caught and ko'ed..

 

german? :-(

you're catching standi for title of 'most moronic poster in the general forum'. have either of you ever watched a fight that didn't involve floyd? and even then, did you watch the full fight?

 

As far as I remember Briggs did get one seemingly good punch in in their title fight and Sultan took it without any problems.

 

Some fighters are in the game for more then money. Ibragimov wants to been viewed as the best in the world. This is why he is taking this fight. Props to him.

As for the question, Does anyone think the weak chinned Ibragimov will have a chance against Wlad?

Since when did Ibragimov have a weak chin? He's taken good shots from Briggs, and Whitaker, and has zero KO defeats. Ibragimov's chin was good in the amatuers as well.

 

Why? Is it because all the others just stood there an got hit so Ibragimov will do it too?

 

Midfight TKO (i.e. Round 7 or 8).

Iggy will try to use he smaller size to be a damn pest. But Wlad will catch him.

 

Based on what?

 

My prediction is that after a conservative couple rounds Wlad will find his range, and when he does he's going to shoot a crushing right hand straight down the pipe and put Ibragimov out. It might not be a 10 count but it'll be the beginning of the end. Wlad by TKO in 5 or less

 

Wlad will murder iggy, these is pretty sad this guy has a belt, i think i may go out and get one. The guy had a draw with Austin, wow, wlad ****ed him up in 3, what do you think is going to happen to the smaller,weaker,less experienced Ibragimov, no chance
