    Might just skip this one tonight...

    Ibragimov is better than you think

    Sultan Ibragimov might be the most anonymous heavyweight champion in boxing history.

    He’s so low-profile that HBO, which will broadcast Saturday’s IBF-WBO unification bout at Madison Square Garden between Ibragimov and Wladimir Klitschko, took out a nearly full-page ad in several major newspapers Friday that provided top billing to a documentary on former champion Joe Louis.

    It’s a sign of the times that a heavyweight unification bout – the first since 1999, when Lennox Lewis won the undisputed title by defeating Evander Holyfield in a rematch in Las Vegas – gets squashed onto the bottom of the advertisement promoting it.

    And the big attraction on the actual boxing broadcast on Saturday may not be the Klitschko-Ibragimov fight, but the replay of the Kelly Pavlik-Jermain Taylor super middleweight bout that was held last week in Las Vegas.

    Truly sad where the heavyweight division is. Hopefully, we'll see some personality in it again sometime soon.

    A heavyweight title fight that hardly anyone knows about, that's a shame. Another sport that is dying here in the US.

    Boring fight. Jab fest by Klitchko. I can count the number of rights he's thrown on one hand.
