Sultan vs (fill in the blank) = Boring Fight

[river rat]

I think that was Sultan's last big money shot. Who cares who else he can beat, because he never beat the champ, and if you can't beat the champ then what good are ya? That's they way it will be for all the contenders once Wlad gets all the titles, if he can keep them all together. One champion then the rest, like the old days.......

p.s. I do want somebody to knock out Klitchco, or at least have a knock down drag out fight with him.....there wasn't any real electricity watching that fight the other night.....not like say, a Bowe vs. Holyfield type of charge in the air of the night!

Come on man, that was a good fight, both men knocked down twice, both men fought hard in that fight.

well you just outed yourself on that one

each guy was knocked down once in that fight

nice try though

The referee didn't count the other knockdowns, so it was really 2 knockdowns.

you know what? you're right hitman.

sultan's style has the base to make any matchup boring - he is a carefull, conservative, non aggressive counterpuncher. wlad was basically chasing him around the ring he whole fight and what was sultan doing? hiding in his goddamned shell of a crouch stance hoping not to get hit. it is like he was just trying to survive. maybe wladimir felt sorry for him and decided not to squash him like a bug.

It's mad difficult to take out someone who's only goal is to survive- if that fighter is skillful and tough in the first place.

But Wlad is mad gifted physically, and a clever biscuit as well.
People want the baddest man on the planet to have at least some killer instinct and mentally toughness.
If the strongest man in prizefighting, who's probably the most skilled in the division as well, does not want to hit people, then people will react accordingly.

i think he sure as **** wants to hit people. wlad loves boxing, that much is clear, the time and effort he puts into preparation speaks for itself. nobody can put such consistent effort into something they dont enjoy doing.

i dont believe that any heavyweight would have knocked sultan out. at least not without putting themselves in serious jeopardy of having the same thing done to them. if wlad had fought the same style fight as sultan did there would not have been a single punch thrown all night. just two guys holding out their lead hand judging distance between each other

I blame Sultan for the fight's boring moments. He used to be an exciting fighter to watch until he hired Jeff Mayweather.

Wlad fought the way he always does, but Sultan was just trying to not get knocked out, not to win.
