Oh yeah....

Fear enough, but Iggy had a similiar knockout ratio, and alot of people were questioning his power, it's not that hard to pile up KO wins over limmited competition, I feel Iggy has got more pop, alot of Brocks punches are arm punches, he doesnt put the weight behind his punches the way true knockout artists do.

 

Vlad is simply the very best.

 

But vlad had much much less risk involved then sultan. And Iggy might have had control over his actions, but he had little control over the fight, vlad did though.

 

It says to me that a lot of people lost money betting on a Klitschko KO. Wink wink.:smooch Looked to me like someone was on the take.

 

I am not saying you can't hold Wlad accountable for not taking him out when it was clear to nearly everyone that there was very little risk from Ibragimov. However, Ibragimov came to win. If he wasn't going to take the necessary chance to do so, then he either DIDN'T come to win, or was scared out of taking the chance once he realized he wasn't going to win with the gameplan he came in with. I certainly think he should be held accountable for this.

 

Klitschko is a firm believer in the old adage "win this fight and look good in the next one." Too bad the next one never comes.

 

Come on! he could have tried a lot harder than he did. from about the 8th round, he had accepted he fact he couldn't win and di nothing to try and do so. Getting battered or not, Ibragimov was not trying to win that fight. He could have done so much more than he did, and that was absolutely in his control.

 

There that mike tyson saying "Everyone has a gameplan until they get hit." Im sure if Iggy knew of a way he could of changed the fight up he would of, its just those heavy right hands can change some people thoughts very easily. Sure both of them are to blame but I blame Vlad more for not taking advantage of openings and creating them then I do Iggy for not taking dropping his defense and sticking his chin on a platter. Even if I am exaggerating a little bit we both know if Iggy would of opened up more he would of been knocked out.

Did you read Widdows post that it was Sultans fault the fight was boring?

 

No I haven't. But his general stance at this point is well known to me. I don't agree with it in some regard, but he is right that Ibragimov has some of the blame here. I also agree with him that Klitscho didn't throw the right hand because he thought it was an unnecessary risk. I simply don't agree on WHY he thought it was an unnecessary risk. I think Wlad is a bit weary of getting clocked. These are not mutually exclusive points of view.

 

******ed is as ******ed does. :yep

Those fights were OK. I'm not hating - just being honest. Which one of those four great KO's wound up on fight of the year or round of the year or knock out of the year lists? The last fight that klitschko really impressed me in was against Peter. He's just not an exciting fighter. If I was hating - I would add that Klitchsko is not an exciting fighter except for when he's getting blasted into the canvas. :deal In reality, Klitschko hasn't had the proper dance partner to put him in an exciting fight as of late. I'm hoping for the Peter rematch as soon as possible.:bbb

 

Defense is part of ring generalship. Vlad was criticized for knocking out Austin in the second round! Vlad has excellent stamina, everyone claimed that Vlad can't go the distance,etc., it does not matter what Vlad does, the ******ed do not know any better, only their prejudice.

 

It was late last night, around 11:30pm and I started watching this fight. Now I got home from training at 10pm and usually i can't sleep for a few hours due to the blood flow and adreneline. I put this fight on and was out like a light by the 5th round! Being Honest here, no bull****

 

Rounds 6 to 12 were fine. Wlad tagged Sultan good twice at the end of the 11th, and had a knock down blown by the ref.

 

Wlad KTFO Jack Johnson :deal
