    I'd go with Ibragimov without any confidence in my pick

    Love watching both of them fight but for now I’m gonna go with Ibragimov. Perhaps things could change as we see Agit in bigger fights against the top guys but for now, my money is on Sultan.

    Would be a fun, technical fight though, with some good exchanges. I fear for both guys’ ribs in this one as they both have a great body attack. They might have only half a rack between them by the end of this fight.

    This.

    We never saw the best of Sultan because of chronic hand problems. Hard to gauge what he could have been.

    Even despite that, his hands were crazy. I think he would have potential to be near the top if he were dropped into the ring today. The memorry of his fight against Ray Austin also looms though........

    I think that is when he re-broke his hand. Until then ge was knocking everyone out left and right, and at that time, he switched to a boxer style. He got his wins over Briggs and Holy, cashed out against Wlad and hung 'em up for good.

    He was having knee trouble in training camp for that fight and couldn’t do any roadwork. It showed as he came in a bit higher in weight than he usually did if I recall.
