I have a feeling that they will try and come out to pressure Wlad early and look to touch his soft chin. We might see the old power punching Sultan for this one.......He won't be able to out box Klitchco.
Why? he has good speed and quick hands, decent conditioning.
well schooled and well skilled, adequate size to Ko any HW if he lands the right punch clean. Good punch output and a decent arsenal that doesn't fade in the late rounds. Vlad has the suspect chin and questionable heart, has shown that he can be KO'd by smaller men.
Why not? Too small to deal with really big skilled men. out reached. No big finishing punch to help him. would have to win by an accumulation of punches against a guy thats reasonable hard to hit. Wlad is too well skilled, trained, intelligent and trained to be beaten by a smaller and physically weaker man who doesn,t possess a big KO punch. All other things being equal ( and they kinda are) the differance is size, reach and power.
The advantages that he has against lesser fighters won't be of any avail against Wlad.
I think the best comparison is Wlad Vs Byrd where Wlad showed that he can deal with the best, most skilled small fighters in the world
i think sultan has a really good chance if he fights the right fight.
he needs to pressure wlad from the first bell not giving him any room to work his great jab, if sultan can keep the fight at close quarters then he's the fav to win, wlad doesn't like fighting in close.
