    Klitschko will definitely KO him. It will be a bit longer than the Austin fight.

    I would like to see Ibragimov pull it off, but Wlad will probably knock him out.

    Easy KO for Klitschko. After this he should go and unify some titles.

    What makes this lefty-vs-righty, heavier-handed puncher-vs-speedy counterpuncer matchup even more intriguing is that each of the principals has the style and the punching precision to unveil the other man’s flaws. Klitschko dictating the action and taking advantage of the reach advantage with his long left jab over Ibragimov’s low right and pawing lead in a methodical manner seems to be the right medicine to drive him easily into the ropes and then try to jump in and land some heavy punches like the straight right as Sultan leaves himself open, trying to turn and get off the ropes which took place various times against much less busier Briggs and Holyfield – Sultan has also the wrong habit to circle to his left and to cross his feet when switching directions to circle to the right like he always ought to, and can walk right into a sizzling left hook as against Ray Austin in the IBF eliminator fight he was dominating but came to be dropped and finished to earn an unsatisfying draw verdict and lost the opportunity to fight Klitschko. In short contrast, Ibragimov circling on his lighter feet and selectively picking his counter punches from his southpaw stance represents a problem to Klitschko who moves forward tentatively on his toes and doesn’t commit fully to his punches all of the time – that leaves spaces and openings for Ibragimov to counter, combining straight lefts to the body and roundhouse overhand rights to the head, Wladimir expected to be specially cautious after being dropped four times by straight left counters against Corrie Sanders in the last thirty seconds of round number one and the first thirty seconds of round number two when he lost the WBO Heavyweight title to the South African. Very intriguing matchup undeed.

    Wlad by 7th round KO, the WBO is the weakest out of the 4 belts, I think thats common knowledge. Wlad needs to beat Chagaev or the winner of Peter/Maskaev to really stake his claim as the unified champ, thats just my opinion.

    This is mainly why I'm picking Ibragimov to KO Wlad late...If I'm proved wrong oh well it will be a great fight
