We all thought, and probably still think, that when he uses his typical style the man is a damn exciting fighter. Problem was, for whatever reason, Sultan came in heavy and fought slow. Neither things he is known for. I have no idea why Sultan blew his shot there....but hopefully he'll return to his old style in his next fight- which I would like to be a rematch with Austin to settle the score.

    Can anyone scrounge up some old fights of Sultan to show the board? I still stand behind his ability to liven up the heavyweight divison...if he never fights like he did last night again.
    i dunno it gets old giving guys second chances to get the job done

    for me, sultan was exposed

    like i said he's got skills and looks great on the pads

    but he couldn't adapt to austin and close distance

    i 'm no wlad fan but at this point he's chewin up sultan and spittin him out

      auston said that mutha ****er can hit, but he was so much longer then sultan thats part of the reason he looked sloppy becuase he would lean back when he was punching , which is wrong technically but it was smart against sultan becuase even tho hes 6'2 his arms are short, klitscho has short arms as well but at 6'6-6'7 they are longer then sultans, also i thnk thats why vitali wouldnt fight rahman becuase rahman has a 84 inch jab and power and klit is only 79

        I was impressed with Ibragimov early on cause like even the first punch he threw he rocked Austin and I was like "damn he actually has good power" but then as the fight went on both guys got very sloppy and wild. I was impressed with Austin's ability to survive after getting knocked down and really after tasting Ibragimov's power so much. I already figured Ibragimov was overrated so that was no surprise to me. I wouldn't be surprised if Ibragimov knocked out Wladimir. Though Wlad getting knocked out by anybody is no surprise anymore.

        I voted rematch though I don't really care as long as neither guy fights for a title.
