Golota vs. Ibragimov

[Rumsfeld]

Who wins?
:think

[Rollo]

Depends on how much Golota have left. Right now I lean towards Sultan by UD.

[unitas]

ibragimov is weak........but not THAT WEAK!!

he´ll ko the polish quitter.

[ThePlugInBabies]

golota realises he is in a big fight with the pressure on, shits himself and gets sparked out in 1. announces his 74th comeback later in the year and another fucking golota express is started.

[brooklyn1550]

Ibragimov by late TKO or UD

[boxingcar]

Golota looked like utter shit against McBride.
Iggy would pull the exact same thing he did with Briggs...or simply Ko him

:yep

[Rumsfeld]

ibragimove would fight the same way he did against briggs and holyfield, except that golota is more mobile than both those guys combined(witch still doesent say much about golota).

True. Also, remember, Golota is much more active in the ring than Holy or Briggs and at this point, he's still a much better combination puncher than them, too.

[RUSKULL]

Today's Golota probably loses a UD or is DQ'd. The younger version of Golota with his good jab and faster hands would probably TKO Sultan within 5 rounds.

The guy haven't got DQ'd in 10 years. Give it a rest already guys.

:deal

[H .]

Sultan isn't THAT good. Golota wins this.

[Vincent Gottschalk]

Golota is too old and Sutlan to fast:deal

[Rumsfeld]

Sultan isn't THAT good. Golota wins this.

Agreed.

Frankly, I'm baffled as to why so many hold Sultan in such high regards.

He's clearly the weakest champion out there and I think there are several contenders, Golota included, who can beat him.

[guncho]

you know what! I think Golota has chance! If Sultan would jump on him he would ko him easy but if he will try to play it safe i think Golota could catch him an KTFO iggy!

[ChrisPontius]

Golota barely made it out of the first rounds against the slow oaf Mcbride! He did look a lot better in the rounds after that, but i still think he'd lose a wide decision to Sultan if he makes it out of the first round.

[ChrisPontius]

It's funny how some people here don't learn from their mistakes.


Plenty of people thinking Holyfield was back, shoulder healed, he looked spectacular against lesser opposition and Sultan is a weak title holder, he can win!
Then he gets dominated.

Now Golota is supposed to be back on track, looks impressive against lesser opposition and can take Sultan because he is a weak title holder...... anyone with a brain can see the similarity.

One big difference: Punch output!

Golota is still capable of throwing a good volume of punches and is still capable of throwing some nice combinations. The same can not be said of Evander.

Frankly, I don't see the big fuss over Ibragimov. He's nothing special.

He beat two fighters who are old and sluggish. Golota may be old, but he's still got more left in the tank than Holy or Briggs.

[RUSKULL]

So that just means he's overdue................:lol:

No really, I see Sultan as having a decent chin and a strange style that would confuse the easily confusable Golota into doing something stupid. Sue me.

I didn't see Golota vs. McBride but I did see his fight prior to that and he's a real slow starter now who hesitates when he throws. That would play perfectly into Sultan's style of counter punching in combination when Golota misses.

One thing Sultan def. has is good handspeed.................

[Loufatski]

Golota is bigger, thicker, stronger, and more athletic. Golota has more power and can throw 10 punch combinations, even at age 39. Ibragimov could end up getting outboxed and/or out man-handled.

[Armo_Ruski]

i dont think golota now or 10 years ago beats iggy, but i do think golota can possibly beat sam peter...

[darkness]

I think Golota takes a UD.

Yeah but Holyfield's punch output was very good against the likes of Savarese/Oquendo as well. Against Ibragimov, most of the time he simply couldn't get his punches off.
Golota had someone who is big and slow who just kept standing in front of him; he could get plenty of punches off.

Ibragimov (much to my frustration, against Holyfield) keeps moving his feet, mostly backwards and sideways and then all of a sudden come in with some fast punches.


I'm not saying Sultan is that much special, he's simply a good contender. And let's be honest, that has been enough to beat Golota even in his prime, very often.

[standing 8]

Ibragimov on points, Golota is way too slow to hurt him.

[jmastersherm1]

Why does anyone even care about Golota anymore? Anyone who does has to be a masochist.

[maciek4]

Ibragimov would win by UD. Golota would have his moments but Sultan is too fast.

Can Adamek beat Golota? He seems to be much faster also.

Golota obviously has a tremendous fan base, but that's not the point. The point is that even at age 39 he could still do some damage in the division. Sultan's speed might do him as much good as Byrd's speed... Golota beat Byrd to a pulp.

Byrd has no power. Sultan has much better power. With Byrd Golota didnt have to worry about getting tagged but with Sultan he would have to be more cautious. I think Golota is still good enough to beat many heavies but I dont think Sultan is a good matchup for Golota.

I think you're overstating Iggy's power. What is the basis for this?

Sultan has average power. He stopped Lance 'Goofi' Whitaker, which really isn't saying all that much. He went the distance with Briggs, Ray AUstin and a very washed up Holyfield. He definitely has more pop than Byrd, but IMO nothing Golota couldn't hold up to.

[dragosuhail]

where's the option in the poll for sultan verses wladimir? :yep

seriously i hope sultan's team take up wladimir's challenge. they both will be more than ready to fight in feb or march.

hell, warrior boxing must know that there is a real threat in tony thompson sultan's mandatory. why not cash out big time verses a name in wladimir? hell, there is no shame losing to wladimir so he can bounce back from the loss. but going life and death with tony thompson or even losing to him will be bad news for Bad Intentions Ibragimov :hey
