Sultan gets points for being a speedy southpaw with some decent combinations. The fight isn't a walkover, I'd give Sultan a generous 20% or so chance.
If Iggy can get inside land and get out using his smaller stature to slip Wlad's punches and bang the body.... I doubt it will happen, though. Iggy is a nice guy. I wish good things for him.
If Ibragimov goes in straight for the offensive then Klitchko will get knocked out as soon as a straight left hand lands. If Ibragimov employs his new defensive style that he has been displaying since the Austin fight then he will get knocked out himself
The only way the Ibragimov can win is by freak KO, but I dont see him getting close enough to land the big shot and even if he does get close enough, I don't think he hits hard enough.
He's a fairly live underdog. When was the last time Wlad faced an opponent who had skills like Sultan's? He may not be big, but he's not a dope like Austin and Brock, and he's got infinite more power than Byrd. Wlad better watch his chin.
drop the 0 and that's about his chances in this fight. wald haters say he has a glass chin but hardly anyone mentions he probably has the best defense, footwork, and stamina in the division. he's human but his forcefield is a ***** to get around :yep Iggy is gonna run hoping to get the fight into the late stages and hope WALD reappears. I expect Manny and Wlad to attack Sultan early.
I'm really glad that this fight is finally going down, but I just don't see Ibragimov winning this one.
When was the last time Iggy faced something like Wlad? If Wlad loses this fight, I will impose my own one month ban :yep Don't worry! Wlad will watch his chin but will also be watching Sultan's head after he removes it from his shoulders
Yes Iggy can win this fight, because anything, and i mean anything, has a possibility of being a possible outcome in a very un-possible situation as such.
