    I am planning on betting on this fight tomorrow so I want some non biase votes on this poll! I'm 24-11 in boxing bets by the way but this will be the first time I am taking advice on a poll. If the poll turns out correct I will do it again. So boxing experts what is your prediction! Vote and why?

    I'm am picking Ibragimov by UD with the hope that Evander pulls it off.

    ditto, I am however suprised Holyfield came in at such a light wieght. What that says to me is that he wants his speed on his punches to show more, I see Holyfield being able to connect on Iggy at that wieght. Before the wiegh in I had 70-30 Iggy, now I have 60-40 Iggy. Holyfield might be able to pull of the miracle tommorrow, Im keeping my fingers crossed he does.

    I'm going to go with Ibragimov as long as there is no cheating.

    Need more input up in here... so far this tells me to pick Holy since he is a huge underdog! Can make some big bucks.

    Bet on holyfield i'm betting on evander myself he has great odds in his favour. He is a 4-1 underdog on sportsinteraction .com , the fight will most likely go the distance and holyfield has a decent outside shot at pulling it out.

    If I had money to blow I would throw it on Holyfield, I give Holyfield a decent chance of winning this one.

    I don't know what Holy got left... I wonder if he still got the iron chin to go 12. Is even money on my site for 11.5. The underdog money looks good but is in russia! the ref might pull Holy's plug if the fight is close for sultan for an premature stoppage bs!

    this is easy. ibragimov. not sure if it will be UD or KO but he WILL win.

    13 year age difference. holyfield is slow, previously injury prone. one too many wars have chipped away at his punch tolerance. stamina is shot.

    i think most people who pick holyfield have not removed the rose coloured glasses. can't blame them because he is a legend of the sport BUT in this case he is simply not the man he once was.

    even though holyfield is the fittest he has been in years does not translate into more stamina, speed etc. on another note ibragimov is the lightest since 2002 in his third pro fight! so while he respects holyfield i feel he will do his best to try and dominate and then ko the legend for his own coming out party. this wont be a close fight at all.

    the only time holyfield might have an aura of a chance is in the first 1 or 2 rounds. but quickly ibragimov will put the foot on the gas, and take over big time.

    Don't listen to these mis informed people, Sultan will have his way with Evander and likely give him a good beating along the way. Holyfield has looked ok against lesser opposition but this is a big step up from lou Saverse. Sultan has fast hands and good movement to keep Holy from getting into a groove. This is the best shape Sultan has ever been in and he will win!!! You heard it here :deal

    Holyfield has walked his way since the beginning of time. Sometimes he gives, sometimes he takes. It is his to know which and when. Looking at a cookie is like looking at the future, until you have tasted, what do you really know and then, of course, it's too late. Philippians 4:13 "I can do all thing's through Christ, which strengthens me" - Holyfield WUD 12 Ibragimov.
