    That's what happens when a Mayweather is training you, I was still impressed with Sultan's handspeed,lightning quick left hands and his intelligence.

    But if Sultan fights like this against Wlad he is in for a rude awakening, it is impossible to outbox Wlad

      He didnt punch because he is old and shot.

        I figured a UD loss wouldn't convince Evander to retire. Only a devastating KO loss would make him retire.

          Yeah he might as well change his name to Sultan Mayweather!...

          As for Klitschko; I see Wladimir pressing the action more and neutralizing Sultan with the overhand right. It would probably be similiar to Byrd-Klitschko II...

            It was a decent fight, Sultan is so fast and crafty for a HW, he's not going to be easy to beat with his new style.

              The fight was not entertaining at all. If Holyfield did in first 3 rounds what he did in the 12th, he could have knocked Ibragimov down/out. Why he held it until the 12th is still beyond me.

              I wish Chagaev didn't pull out of that fight, he could outwork and outsmart Ibragimov.

                Chagaev is a much better boxer. But I disagree Holy could've gotten the KO. Everytime he rushed or threw more than one punch he got killed b/c of Sultan's head movement and handspeed. It's a frustrating style, kind of like a HW Cory Spinks. Even in the 12th they were one-punch moments

                  He's a coaster, though. If there is a fast, aggressive HW that can upset his rythym he is in for a long night. Slower, power punchers (not named Wlad) wont put a dent in this kid. It's going to take a guy who is fast of foot and gets on him quick.

                    Exactly, he's beatable as all **** but someone;s going to have to press him.

                      Yes, but as soon as Holyfield let his hands go, he could land on Ibragimov and his punches did have an effect. He should have been more aggressive in the first 3-4 rounds and could have dealt some major damage. Those shots in the 12th clearly shook Ibragimov. Maybe he should have taken a risk and eat some punches but try to do some damage.
