    I'm afraid Sultan is going to be staying away all night like he did vs Briggs & Holyfield.

    I hope he opens the way he did against Whitaker. It's his best shot at winning, too.

    with Wladimir Klitschko in there it is almost impossible for it to not be exciting. Of course there is the chance lets say that Ibragimov moves too much and not much action happens like in the Briggs fight, but i think Wlad is much quicker than what Briggs is at this stage, and also the better fighter, so he is either going to land some leather and possibly knock out Ibragimov, or Ibragimov is going to surprise him and land some good shots, and maybe even stop Wladimir. Even if it were to go the distance, i think it wil be a pretty exciting fight.

    Call me pessimistic, but I don't think it's going to be a particularly thrilling fight, no. I think Wlad will dominate.

    But I voted "decent scrap", I don't think it'll be boring at all. I just don't think Sultan brings enough to the table to make it exciting.

    No really, why can't you watch the fight? It's practically free on regular HBO.

    I think it has the makings for an exciting fight, but that obviously depends on the fighters. When I first heard the fight was going to happen, I wasnt particulary excited, Iggy's fighting style is boring, and I didnt consider him a real threat to Wlad like I do Peter or Chagaev, but after watching him on FNF about a month ago, when he said he has a surprise for Wlad, I was instantly hooked, and wished the fight was on that night.

    All in all this probably wont be a classic or anything, but I'm looking for Iggy to go balls to the wall in the opening round, and possibly give Wlad something to think about for the rest of the fight.

    It probably won't be very exiting, after all its a heavyweight fight with limited work rates on both sides. But also a good chance of a KO win.

    This is like the World Cup Final; it's the importance the fight is thriving on, not necessarily it's class, and that's fine with me.

    Well, I will catch it a little later than everyone else.

    It is on a regular sky channel in the UK that I do not pay for and I am not paying for a whole 30 days.

    Usually I just pick these things off of box office, but ironically I will not get this because it is shown to everybody.

    I just assume that I will always have to pay a bit extra for fights and so don't bother with Sky Sports.

    It could be exciting early if Ibragimov takes it to Wlad, but mostly I see Ibragimov doing a lot of moving and picking his spots with Wlad cautiously persuing.
