UNIFICATION ...i hope i spelled it right

[SweetPea]

Well Sam Peter is NOT the beltholder, Oleg Maskaev is!

Peter is actually considered the interim champ right now. When Maskaev bailed from the fight, they made the Peter-McCline fight a title fight, with the condition that the winner had to fight Maskaev next.

But my main point was that Wlad isn't fighting Ibragimov because he's the weakest beltholder. He's fighting him because he's the only one who was available, because of the whole Peter/Maskaev/Vitali clusterf*ck.

I don't see a whole lot of suspense to this fight.

To be fair to Sultan, I think he is more difficult than Brock. Brock was just a perfect foil for Wlad, slow plodder, not much power, slow of foot, slow of hand, very orthodox guy. Sultan at least can move a bit, has a fairly quick left hand.

Don't think he'll win though, Wlad by TKO, Sultan could maybe make it go 12 if he stinks it out.
