Bernard eally seeming to be worried of the Hopkins ounter left. He will not commit to his jab and as a result, we have a staring and posing match. I favour Bernard over Hopkins right now though.
2nd round almost as boring. Wlad has yet to throw a single right hand in the fight. Wlad added some snap to his jab and landed it goot a couple of timmes, Sultan scored with couple of body slaps 20-18
I would rather Ruiz than either of these two guys right now. At least thats wrasslin'. This is catwalk shit.
sultan really stymied by wlad's height and quick jab. He at quite a few flush jabs that round...r3 wlad wlad 2-1
This is just a bad fight. Ibragimov is doing the only thing he can do to win...but it's not working because Klitschko isn't a moron. Still, Wlad can fight more aggressively and still keep Sultan's door shut. Jab more often, damnit.
A fight between two counter-punchers, looks pretty boring. Both are waiting for the other man to walk into something. Meanwhile, Wlad is edging all rounds with the jab
lederman 3-1, too . r5 wlad lands the regular bunch of clean jabs..one good right hand..sultan does some things...tries sometimes, but just not enough... wlad round 4-1 wlad
Ibragimov gets a little more aggressive and Wlad begins to backup and hold. It sucks...but its effective at stopping whatever offense Sultan is trying to muster. This isn't doing anything for the division, other than removing a belt holder afterwards. Nobody new is going to be tuning in to see Wlad's next fight, or Sultan's for that matter.
sultan gonna change tactics cause he's gonna lose a boring decision if he continued with this strategy. With 3 boring fights in a row and without a title, he's gonna be a tough sell
Wlad is fighting like it was David Tua in there. Sultan tried some attacks in the sixth but Wlad was the only one who landed some punches. They were all jabs though
lederman gave last round to wlad... r6 closer round...sultan tried harder than wlad...very few punches landed by either...even? 4-1-1 wlad
