Wlad wins. Nobody with a shaky chin like Sultan's is gonna beat Wlad, especially one with Ibragimov's style. Wlad is too big and long for that.
The only potential crap that may ruin it is if Sultan wises up and realizes he has little chance of winning. But if he can get past that minor technicality, I think the fight will happen. His cornerman recently said on a site that makes a scene with boxing, that it was definite, and that Sultan wanted the fight. But, I'll believe it when I see it. I still have my doubts about Sultan taking the fight.
yeah sultan is one of those "slick" counter punchers...without much power. i dont see how he could win. wlads jab by itself would win him enuf rounds points-wise...to say nothing about what his straight right would do to sultan and his style.
Waldo is too big for Sultan and there's a HUGE difference in Power here, **** Sultan looked smaller than Holyfield and Holy only weighed 213!!:deal not to mention a half foot in height, Sultan will NOT be able to get past the jab... Wlad KO 11..:dead Peter and Sultan would be a better more competitive fight!!!:think
No, I honestly dont think it will go down and if does Iggy is a dumbass that could fight a nobody and make almost as much money without all the risk. If the fight does happen I see Wlad controling the fight throughout, and eventually knocking out Iggy or TKOn him in the 8th round.
It's already a done deal all both guy's have to do is sign the contract, it is tenatively set for February, IGGY really pushed for it, you gotta admire IGGY for wanting the toughest fight..:thumbsup
But Ibragimov has already went in print about how he was out to unfiy, and we all know Wlad went to the HBO headquarters to try and get the fight put together.
Wladimir will controll him with the jab and catch Sultan coming in. Expect Wladimir to win by TKO, somewhere before the 8th.
8th? and i saw 11th up there? do yall really think itll take wlad that long? i hate to do the "he fought him + the other guy did too = what will happen in this fight" thing....but we are talking about a guy (sultan) who couldnt knockout ray austin... that said i like sultan. i just dont think he has ANY chance.
I doubt he lasts 8, but I wouldn't be surprised if he did. If you forced me to make an actual pick, I would say Klitschko by TKO in the 6th.
yeah i gotta think sultans primary goal would be to first survive. i dont know how he could put together any real offense without taking enuf punishment to put him down.
Wlad new fighting style only lets him throw so much early on, by the middle rounds Manny will tell Wlad to start putting more into your punches. Wlad wants to conserve his energy until the time is right to finish his oppenent, this fight will look like the Brock fight, maybe worse.
