    I believe most of us have already decided who to pick and probably voted on the other threads. This time it’s about the possibility of an upset. Wlad is a heavy favorite, most experts and fans picking him, others, including Teddy Atlas, smell upset… But one thing is sure: if Sultan can somehow pull this off, it’s gonna be an upset win.

    So please vote if the upset is IMPOSSIBLE, POSSIBLE, PROBABLE or UNDOUBTFUL in your opinion!

    Sultan is a good fighter and better than anyone Klitschko has fought in a while. An upset is very possible.

    It is obviously possible.

    I was rewatching Sultan vs Austin and I saw how many times Sultan staggered Austin throughout the fight, Sultan has a punchers chance, he can hit and because of his southpaw style and speed, he is a danger, thing is he was hit cleanly vs Friday A. by the hook and Evander with the right, also Austin dropped him with the hook. Vlad must fight cautious using his distance jab and movement and fire power punches down the pike behind the jab to win

    I guess that Wlad being a heavy favourite means that the possibility of an upset in DOUBTFUL. Upsets are always possible in boxing and even more so in heavyweight boxing but I doubt about the legitimacy of Mr. Atlas' smelling senses... Smells like Teddy is cooking his own promotion on Sultan's scarce possibilities. Like I already said, if Atlas fails his prediction, nobody cares but if he happens to be right, he will not get tired of telling "I Told you so"...

    Sultan is going to have some troubel with Wlad being lighter than usual. Wlad will be able to chase him down and stay active. Klitschko will put Sultans lights out by the 6th round at the latest.

    Everything is possible. Lesser fighters have beaten Wlad.

    However, I think this time Wlad will win.

    Klitschko KO Ibragimov.

    I think he means "indubitable". Or perhaps "undoubtable".

    Another fine product of our public education system.

    this maybe the most hyped 90/10 fight I have ever seen. This guy has almost not shot at winning this fight, he should have lost to Ray "freakin" Austin.
