Wlad to score this one. Got to see him working out in person. The guy really does have exceptional technique for someone his size. Second only to LL as of late in that department.

He should be able to rain down on Sultan, but he has never reacted well to pressure.

Yeah, I'd be suprised if Wlad didn't win. The only chance Ibragimov has got is to rush him and hope to outgun him early, similar to what Sanders ddi. However, Wlad's defense is much improved since that Sanders fight, and if that hapens again, I'd expect him to spoil the fight in the early rounds just to prevent anything Ibragimov can do until he realises that isn't working, and tries to fight on the outside. Sadly for Ibragimov, I don't think he has a chance fighting like that. He will get picked apart by Klitschko's jab/right combinations if he gives him any distance.

Wlad should win this one by KO, in around 6 rounds. Too good, too strong, too smart - He basically has everything in his favour.

I like Ibragimov though, and hopefully he'll bounce back, but he ain't winning this one.






Anyway, if it sways some opinions, they weighed in yesterday.

900 on Klitschko, 30 on less than 12 rounds, just because I like nice rounded down numbers. Easy money really, but I won't make much.

[Hardcore Holly]

Bet near 15,000 on this :lol

Bound to get me an okay profit if I win.

[Hardcore Holly]

Did the fight happen yet?

[bigmatt]

Its later on tonight.

[Nemesis Enforcer]

You can watch it on Sky Sports 1 starting at 1:30am (no idea what time the actual fight will start though)

[bigmatt]

Klitscho should win it comfortably,but this is boxing so I wouldn't put my life on it.Its not a fight im particuarly looking forward to as im not a fan of klitscho and the division is poor at the minute but will probably catch it anyway.Klitscho should be better in every way than Ibagimov,but where I think he will win it tonight is with workrate.He has the better stamina of the two men and when hes on he is dominent and daunting.Ibragimov is no mug and his actual boxing skills should keep him in it and has got 17 KO's to his name so can be a big hitter as well..Klitscho can become frustrated as well and dont forget he has lost 3 times so can be vunerable.

[bigmatt]
