:hey What do you think ? my prediction Ibragimov tko 5 Klitscko btw i am NOT a Klitscko hater....:nono
Like I said before, this is a risky fight. I'm gonna say Waldo wins but Ibragimov is the kind of guy who will put it out there if he thinks he is losing. I certainly do not hinge his chances of winning on him being the better boxer. I think guys like Byrd and Brock could certainly show him up in that department. But Ibragimov has a mean streak that those two lack. When pressed hard enough he may just come out swinging fast and hard.
Some always pick against Vlad. Vlad will win this fight though. Those who want Ibragimov to win will turn on his if he does win, but will be rendered moot.
Nothing is impossible in boxing, but I consider it highly improbable, Vlad will win this fight. I think, after the fight, Teddy At-l-ASS should get into the right afnd fight Vlad.
Teddy Atlas seems to hate the K boys, so he'd naturally pick the other guy, wise decision, or not. If Sultan comes to fight, Wlad but early KO, but if Sultan runs like a deer for the entire fight, Wlad by decision.
Sultan has no chance at all, he couldnt even beat Ray Austin and lost to Audley Harrison for goodness sake!
I would really love for Sultan to make this a good fight, his chin has never been tested like it will be tonight and if he can get through the first wave of Klitschko bombs he could make things very difficult for Wlad. Problem is based on his performances vs. Briggs and Holyfield I don't think he can get anywhere near Wlad's chin, hopefully he will surprise me.
Klitschko will stop Sultan in under 6 rounds and have zero trouble with him. BTW I am a Klitschko hater.
Sultan has a chance in this one, anyone with above average Heavyweight power and at least an average chin has about a 10% chance of beating Wlad. I feel Iggy has about a 20% chance of winning, he got fast hands, good footwork, pretty good defense, and above average power and chin. He needs to come out swinging if he wants any chance of winning this one, he needs to make Wlad uncomfortable and eventually go into a panic attack with applied pressure, and hopefully end up breaking Wlads fragile chin.
I think it would be funny and ironic, if, after hundreds of postings of analysis Wlad starches the guy in 2! Could happen!
I am standing up with a bad cold and it's 0:44 around here - a coupla more hours to go and I don't think I can go through Banks and Mayfield, or the Duddy fight, I'll be surprised if I gat to be on my feet when the bell sounds... Iggy upsetting Wladdy inside 5 would be a good reason to make the effort but it's such an unreal, dreamy one that that surely will not get me on less unsteady legs tonight...
You aren't alone. Dorf. I was up at 2AM this morning. It's been 18 hours now. Dying to get this over with. Naturally I can't miss a live heavyweight fight on HBO. The last remnant of me being a true fan of the sport.
