Considering Wlad's chin & the fact Iggy can bang a bit you have to give him a fair chance.:good
Against the smart Wlad we've seen in recent times, very long odds
He's basically relying on a miracle punch. He can't fight on the outside, he'll get peppered with the jab all night. He's not a great inside fighter, and when Wlad leans on him he'll forget that pretty quickly. He has to get in and out with his shots, but he looked too cautious against a relic in his last outing so it doesn't give me any hope
I see him looking like a rabbit in the headlights, running around for 5 or 6, before getting flattened

Ibragimov is an undefeated southpaw champion with good speed, and good power to the head or body. He also happens to be in his prime. I think Ibragimov is a bit better than anyone Wlad has fought recently with the possible exception of Sam Peter.
Ibragimov best chance is to land the hook inside. The challenge for Ibragimov to get past Wlad towering size, great jab, and good speed. Then he must land his hook without getting caught with Wlad’s laser like right cross or lights out left hook. Steward says Wlad makes you fight his fight more than anyone he has ever trained.
I think Sultan's chances of winning are about 1 in 5.

Doesn’t really matter on the odds… Ibragimov will last the distance.
There’s a good bet there.

5-1 sounds good to me. Anything longer seems a bit disrespectful to an unbeaten fighter in Sultan and too presumptuous on a fighter in Wlad that's come a cropper to southpaws twice now.
But Sultan is a firm underdog, no doubt, so that 5-1 seems right.
I give Ibragimov no chance. I will bet all my V-cash on this one.
Ibragimov was hanging on to Ray Austin like a tree hugger. He could not figure out how to get inside of the taller fighter.
Wlad KO'd Austin with one hand tied behind his back without breaking a sweat.
This is a mis-match
R.I.P Ibragimov

I chose 12:1. Ibragimov's recent style would be his downfall. I would give him better chances with a pre-Mayweather style.

I say 4 or 5:1. Ibragimov is live here, but I'd like to see him get back to his old swarming style. He'll be more competitive than many think.
I also recall Purrity, Brewster, and Sanders as huge underdogs...
