Official Holyfield vs. Ibragimov Thread

damn, that fucking sucks that the fight is starting at 1 pm. I'll still be at work. Thank God for DVR.

....I can't believe I'm saying this but I have a feeling that Holy is gonna step up in this one.

how much is the ppv for? I damn sure hope not fifty dollars.

This is a strange fight that came about in a strange way. Holyfield pulls off the decision though all logic says it should be the other way around.

people said george foreman cudnet do it lol and he was older then holyfield also not as fit as holyfield george was like a balloon had alot of wieght but got himself in to shape in this crappy heavy era 40+ shot fighters can get titles lol thats how embarssing heavy wieghts are now. sultan has a better chin than moorer and holyfield isnt 250 lbs with enormously heavy hands

I hope Holyfield wins it, but I'm not sure. Ibragimov was dropped by Ray Austin, though, so I guess there's a chance. then again ray austin drew with larry donald who pummeled holyfield in a one sided fight. holey's only hope is that sultan comes in too heavy as he did with austin but its unlikely

If I havent said it yet, I'm going to say it now. Holyfield is going to catch Ibragimov early, floor him, and finish him off in round 5. The closer the fight gets, the more I think that way as well, except round 5 finishing. Ibragimov is a southpaw and if Holyfield gets that left hook going, he'll catch Ibragimov eventually. I think it'll be over in 3-4 rounds tops. I want Holyfield to win this one, it would be a nice gift to him. He could then set up a mega fight (this era considered) with Wlad and finish his career with an extra 10 mil in his bank account and accomplishing all he ever wanted. Nothing but respect for Holyfield.

I think Ibragimov will box his way to a UD and stay out of harm's way of the 90 year old Holyfield... But I'll defintely be rooting for The Real Deal.

I still can't believe Foreman dropped Moorer at that moment.

Win or lose Holyfield is still going to go down as on of the best and most remembered Heavyweights of all time. That's true.

I think Holyfield will be hurt in the mid rounds and then come back to win some of the rounds back. He might even stagger into the ropes like most of his past knockdowns. But I see this going to the cards, with Holyfield winning a SD.

Ibragimov via late round stoppage.

Holyfield is gonna show you where dreams come from and how they come true....

I take Holyfield by close decision. For some reason, I don't think this will go to the cards.

He just beat someone as old as himself, and didn't look great doing it. Top 50, maybe, but surely not top 30. The pool isn't THAT shallow. He didnt look horrible either, he's lucky that the pool is shallow, he just might be in the top 30, especially after beating Oquendo. There are so few contenders that winning again after beating him probably puts holyfield in the top 30-25 in the HW division.

I don't give a shi*t! Wbo is not legit title!

He's got no business fighting true, but he's clearly in the top fifty. He won his last 4 fights, I think, unless it was 3. In the very shallow Heavyweight pool, all you have to do is keep winning. I'm rooting for Holyfield because him winning a title at this age would be something remarkable, I don't expect it to happen, but it makes for a good story. He just beat someone as old as himself, and didn't look great doing it. Top 50, maybe, but surely not top 30. The pool isn't THAT shallow.
