its allright if you hate wlad landmine, it kinda evens out between the wlad lovers and haters around here. I cant stand wlad owns sumtimes, the whole "my eastern european brothers are taking over the HW division" is some of the worst **** typed here. I bet you if the hw division didnt have those steroid pumping goliaths he wouldnt be a fan of boxing..he seems that pathetic.Comment

It meant more in 1999 though. Such a differene in the quality of heavyweights then. But i hope WLAD does, good for the sport.Comment

I am not a fan of Wlad but respect due. He's suprised me the past few years and has come back after his KO losses to really prove he is the best in the HW division at the moment. I do think Sultan could give him trouble and possibly score the upset......but smart money says Wlad stops him in the middle rounds. Good thing points don't really matter I guess because I just felt like going with the upset on this one.
NO MORE BETS for those wondering.

I am going with the consensus and picking Wlad in this one. It just seems foolish to pick against him at this point. Yet, I do it with reservations. My boxing matchup sensibilities scream at me to go in the other direction. Let me explain.
Why has Wlad had such a resurrection to be the clear top HW in the world? Is it his power? Other heavies have great power. Is it his height? Other heavies have great height. Is it his height and power combined? Fewer have that, but they still exist. Heart? Maybe. But mostly, it has been his jab. His jab keeps everyone in position for the nuclear explosion of his right. Ask Calvin Brock.
So what is the problem? Ibragimov being a southpaw is part of the problem. You can't really jab a southpaw effectively from the right handed stance if he doesn't want you to, no matter how good your jab is. This is especially true in terms of slick southpaws, which against all predictions and logic is what Sultan has transformed into. The one punch that has made Wlad special and different from the man who was KO'd by three midlevel heavies (who Sutlan would go at least 2-1, probably 3-0 against) will not be a factor in this fight. Sultan, if he is aggressive and does not fight scared, will be able to get in and land quite often.
Yet, Wlad is so much physically superior that I pick him anyway, but I definitely have more reservations than most about the fight.Comment
