Realistically, how many of you give Holyfield a decent chance vs Ibragimov?

    Of course he has a decent chance to win, he's Evander Holyfield. I don't expect him to win but I wouldn't be at all surprised if he did. I'm kinda like 60 Ibragimov & 40 Holyfield.

    I voted for Holy to have a chance. Like a prior poster, I figure Holyfield has a 30/70 chance at winning the fight and to me that's a decent shot. If I was asked this question before the Savarese fight, I would have said "Holyfield doestn't stand a chance". It wasn't the fight so much, ( what does beating an old Savarese reall mean? ) but Holyfields increased mental clarity. It's kind of funny, but the thing that impressed me the most about Holyfield that night was his speech. I was really impressed with the way he spoke and made his points. Not at all the thick tonqued pugulist I have come to know. Holyfield is likely the best boxer Sultan has ever faced and I think this will be apparent on fight night.

    Ibragimov is very open when he throws his left hand as he throws it from low to high – any good counter puncher will nail him, as soon as Ibragimov lands left his opponent should fire straight back. When Ibragimov gets tired his guard goes to ****. This means he better be training his arse off for this fight and getting the right technical advice. If he covers these bases then he wins, if not then Holyfield has some chance though not great
