I think it will be a close fight early by wlad will catch Sultan with a huge punch and ko him in around round 9Comment

Sultan is severaly underrated by many, he is quick, he is smart and he can punch.
But Wlad will prevail.Comment

The fight maybe would have been competitive if Sultan had the same size that Klitschko has but since Sultan is a small heavyweight, he simply wont be able to compete against the height and reach of Klitschko. He will never get past Klitschko's jab. Sultan is a guy that had problems with Ray Austin due to his size, imagine what kind of problems he will have with Klitschko?Comment

Sultan defeated, in fact completely dominated, the former WBO #1 contender 6'8" Lance Whitaker, who is bigger than Wlad. He's beat another big, powerful man in Shannon Briggs.since Sultan is a small heavyweight, he simply wont be able to compete against the height and reach of Klitschko. He will never get past Klitschko's jab. Sultan is a guy that had problems with Ray Austin due to his size, imagine what kind of problems he will have with Klitschko?
Sultan took the fight with Austin on short notice, and so didn't have time to train and wasn't in his best shape. He laid the much bigger Austin on the canvas in an early round. He did have some difficulty with Ray's long reach, but many who saw the fight thought Sultan deserved to win a close decision.
But those boxers lacked Wlad's skill, so I think Sultan has only a slim chance of winning, despite being a very good fighter.Last edited by The Hammer; 02-10-2008, 08:04 PM.Comment

February is going to be a month of upsets. Taylor and Ibragimov will follow Quintana's lead and come out victorious in their fights.Comment

Wlad by mid or late KO. Sultan is a smart quick fighter but if Wlad doesn't respect your power(see Brock) he's going to take his time and have his way with you. Sultan is better than Brock was and maybe more dangerous but the end result will probably be the same.Comment

Bottom line is that Sultan had problems with Austin's reach even though Austin is not so good at using his reach advantage. Wlad on the other hand knows how to use it very well and will keep the jab in Sultan's face the whole fight until he hits him with a right hand that Sultan will never see just like Brock.Comment
