I worry 238 is too light for Wlad. Is that enough weight-loss to affect his reflexes? Didn't he fight at about 247-8 last summer?
lets hope he didnt overtrain for this one. 238 is a bit disturbing considering his body fat was extremely low in the 240's

And the fact that he actually trains and doesn't have 20-30 lbs of extra fat just to be a heavyweight.

Jeff Mayweather, Ibragimov trainer: “this is the opportunity I have waited my whole life for. It has brought me out of the shadows of being the other Mayweathers. I have the heavyweight champion, he's the right guy with the right temperament.”
I really feel bad for both Ibragimov and his trainer Jeff Mayweather.
Klitschko seems like he is ready to kill just to get his hands on that title, this is what he has been waiting for his whole career.

Wlad is really in incredible shape for an heayweight!!
He looks as ripped as the guys from lower divisions!! But his good genetics has much to do with it.
And the fact that he actually trains and doesn't have 20-30 lbs of extra fat just to be a heavyweight.
