Wladmir Klitschko VS. Sultan Ibragimov & Undercard

[donnydarkoIRL]

Lyle I think you're right. I don't no If I alluded to it in my initial post, but I feel Klitschko's (exceptional) straight right will be perfect for negating any adavntage Ibragimov's Southpaw stance.

Furthermore, I used to admire Ibragimov's activity, but he put in a lazy performance against Briggs so I can't see him troubling Wladmir.

I doubt Suktan will just move forward through this fight, I see him circling to his own right away from klitschko's.

He didn't move very well vs other big fighters and those guys had NOTHING on Wladimir's power!

See Sultan:

vs Ray Austin
vs Shannon Briggs
vs Lance Whittaker

Those guys still hit Sultan and it's only going to take a few from Wlad to slow Sultan down...and hell the jab might do that alone

Sultans needs lots of waist movement in order to stay clear from any big shot. He doesn't have it so I don't see this fight ending well for him.

[The Fightfan]

The only shot Ibragimov has in this fight is to get close and shoot uppercuts and wide right hooks.If he tries to box Klitschko it will be ahort night.I say a K.O. in the sixth for Wlad.

[No Contest]

I may be the only guy picking Ibragimov in this fight(besides Sal), I think his speed is better than Wlad and if he can weather the first 5-6 round w/o catching a big right he should be in good position. Wlad has been real one dimensional lately and with him relying on the jab alot lately, the southpaw matchup comes into play with Sultan being able to drop his own lefts over the jab. I think this fight is gonna turn into a slugfest, with Sultan stopping Wlad.

He hasn't been "relying" on his jab, he's been using it to set up other punches...go ask Lamon Brewster how that felt though.

Wlad uses the jab to set up his other punches and he hooks off it....it's only right to use that punch, it's the best jab in ALL OF BOXING!

Ask Ray Austin and Chris Byrd if Wlad relied on the jab vs them!

Sultan's hands aren't faster than Wlad's either I don't know what makes you think that though, other than he has shorter arms.

Ray Austin knocked down Sultan on a left hook off of his jab....that FACT doesn't bode well for Sultan in this upcoming fight
