does Sultan Ibragimov have a chance against Klitschko??

[TheFairPole]

good post i dont see ibragimov hearing the final belt after all this bum ray austin knocked him down

In my opinion it was a push down after a clean shot just like the last knockdown in the Tyson vs. Lewis fight, and Sultan was out of shape in that fight. With that being said, I think Wladdy wins by late tko.

Wlad dealt with pressure against both Brewster and Peter, and beat their ass in both instances. Against Brewster up until the 5th round.

Agreed but he couldn't sustain the pace without getting caught at some point. If Sultan pressures Wladdy, he will eventually land a big shot on Wlad is all I am trying to say. Just like in the Peter fight. Wladdy kept Peter off untill the fifth round and then, getting knocked down by punches to the back of the head and fatigue setting in. And again in the 10th round I believe because of getting caught and fatigue. Again, this is Sultan's only chance to win.

Wlad by late tko...

Of course he does, all he needs is to connect once good. Once Wlad is hurt, then it will be Sultan's job to finish him.

I don't see Sultan winning this fight but if he gets a lucky punch in, then he has a great chance stopping Wlad.

With Wlad being 6'6 and 240+ pounds of pure muscle, it's going to be really hard to hurt him. And from what I've seen from Sultan, he isn't going to hurt or outbox Klitschko.

I think this is a very difficult but not unwinnable fight for Ibragimov. However, Ibragimov will have to execute a well thought out game plan for him to even have a chance to win. Klitscko is a very slow starter so Sultan has to make this a very fast paced fight early on, and go the Wlad’s body frequently and make every punch count. He also needs to take some calculated chances to hit the home run( stunning Klitscho) and go all out if the KO presents itself.

Having said that, I think Klitschko’s size, power, skill, and mental toughness( yeah, I said it) is just too much for Ibragimov to overcome. If Sultan fights tentatively, Wlad will stand on the outside, jab and unload with the right cross. If however, Sultan tries to come in with guns blazing he’s likely to get countered all night with the left hook…

My prediction: Wlad by TKO 7

a rather slim one.

Ibragimov has as much of a chance as Viva Mexico stops creating Margarito threads.


Answer: None.

I can't imagine Sultan winning this fight, in fact I think it will be one-sided, a lot like Wlad's fights with Chris Byrd.
