Question

Who do you think will win the fight tonight?

Klitschko or Ibragimov?

Answer 1

Teddy Atlas is the only one I know who is picking Ibragimov. I think the Klitchko of 2003 would have lost but since his loss to Lamon Brewster in 2004 he became a whole new fighter and I don't think there is anyone in the heavyweight division today who is able to beat him. His long arms and jabs will keep Sultan at a distance and when he finally does make it inside he will be susceptible to the uppercut and left hooks of the "Steel Hammer" I like Ibragimov he has a good attitude and is a solid fighter but he is giving up 4 inches to a younger and quicker fighter.

Wladimir Klitchko wins by 9th round TKO.

Answer 2

My heart says Ibragimov, my brain says Klitzscho.  I really like what I see in Sultan, but he is the much smaller guy and Klitschko is no stiff.  

So, to get off the fence and actually make a prediction, I like Klitschko by decision.  Just athletic enough to make his size difference the deciding factor.  A few rough moments for Sultan, but no knockdowns either way.  116-112.
