Sultan is light (for a heavyweight), he's short (for a heavyweight), his power is hard to judge...he was able to KO Lance Whittaker but drew with Ray Austin.

The worries I have about Sultan are #1 He's a southpaw with more than average power....he's definently between Chris Byrd and Corey Sanders on power. #2 He throws WILD.

Wlad can and should win in devistating fashion, I always get a little nervous when he fights because you never know IF he is going to suffer another set back.

The keys for Wladimir are easy
1. Establish the jab and pace the fight to your liking

2. Avoid the left cross

3. Be efficient with your power punches

4. Keep your hands up and makes sure you come back with your jab and don't just drop your left hand...bring it back and defend yourself.

5. Drag Sultan into the deep waters and test his heart


The keys for Sultan are a little different depending on if he's going for the quick KO or the absorb the punishment and tire Wlad out KO
1. Avoid the jab of Wladimir....sure you want to avoid the power punches but he won't throw those as often unless he has established the jab

2. Work the body and make Wlad's guard drop

3. Constant motion, move quick in and out of range to stay safe

4. Be quick with the left cross....we don't know how Wlad will handle that and the different angles you will give him.

5. Press the pace of the fight


Sultan's chin has been checked and he does have stamina issues so it will be difficult for him to last through the punishment Wlad will inflict on him but we don't know about Sultan's heart.
