    I didn't see him looking scared in the ring, he was very, very cautious but not scared.

    And you guys have to take into account Iggy's style, it can make almost any fight boring and make most fighters cautious because he's a good counter puncher.

      Now that's fear.
      No, Sultan was feinting a lot and he didn't want to miss with a hard punch. That's what happened to Vitali in the Byrd fight, he threw out his shoulder by missing with straight power punches.

        What really upsets me.. is how can I say Floyd is boring.. and then say I am a Klitschko fan.. ????

        ...Eh, it was a tricky fight against an awkward opponent. He dominated the fight, was never hurt, and just unified a few belts. If Wlad was truly afraid of getting hit he wouldn't have stood so close to Sultan and leaned in so far. Who gives a **** if he puts up one boring fight? Lennox made a career of it and he gets his **** ****** as a top five heavy. Wlad wanted to make a statement in this fight but Sultan is one tough cookie and he's hard to read. It's obvious that the Austin fight was kind of a fluke for Sultan as he indeed took some huge shots from Wlad. He's a tough tough matchup for anyone. I knew this was going to be an ugly fight. Bottom line is that Wlady is the best heavy in the world and the beat goes on. Anyone who doesn't like it can suck it.

          Ibragimov has a way of making his opponents look bad and hesitant with all his feints. His style was a bit confusing to Wlad.

            I'm not sure I can buy any suggestion that this guy is just trying to be a tactition and perfectionist. That's looking on the bright side a bit heavily.

            I've seen his knockouts. Those were gut and heart related as much as they were chin related. He wilted and died. I think he's doing everything in a virtual panic. That would make him the worlds most frantic tactician.

              It looked to me like Klitschko didn't want to hurt his homeboy...

                Sultan is tricky to hit, that had a lot to do with it I'm certain.

                  His defense is now one of the best in all of boxing
                  I really don't understand what all of these Wlad apologists are seeing when they watch this guy fight. How anybody believes that Wlad is a good fighter is beyond me. Regardless of what his HBO promotion team says in his defense, this guy is piss ****ing poor, and he most certainly is chicken **** in the ring.

                    When Wlad followed the jab with the right, he landed at will and backed Sultan up. Sultan has a difficult style but it was obvious Wlad was holding back and it didn't look like it was out of fear. Very strange fight that makes all parties and the sport look bad. I think it was very a minimal effort for Wlad, doing just enough to get by and walk away easy. Wins like this will do more harm than good for his career and he should know better.

                      HUH??? Wlad landed his right 70% of the times he threw it .. thr problem being he only threw 12 the whole fight..

                      Like I said all he had to do was put a few punches together and Iggy would have been sparked..
