Isn't it funny - I saw their surname is written as Klitshchko in titles.

Congratulations to Doctor Steel Hammer who how is triple boxing champion of the World!

He could though make this fight more spectacular because he was "playing chess" a bit. I guess he really was careful of Ibragimov.

All the Ibragimov might was directed to just stay on the legs. I admit he stood some hits which would kill the elephant... but he stayed on the legs till the end.

This Russian Daghestan showed courage but his phisical conditions and height didn't allow him to do something on the ring against Volodymyr.

Perhaps the fight wasn’t as highly spectacular as expected. And I’d say many good words about Ibragimov as well. The Russian Dagestan ( or Chechen ? ) was/is very gentle and polite before and after the fight – unlike his promoter

But these days on different forums is widely discussed an idea of a possible fight between Vladimir and another Russian - Nikolai Valuyev. The last one has criminal background and looks like gorilla indeed. His behavior is appropriate . I really don’t know if I ‘d like such match to happen . That Valuyev was bitten by much smaller boxer than he ( look here )

and many funs say Vladimir would beat him easily. But to fight with gorilla ? Vladimir is too good for it

As far as I know Sultan Ibragimov is Dagestan, not Chechen

Finally, his phisical condition is hardly compared with Volodymyr's might. This was his weakest point in this fight.

Some interesting info about Klitschko bros here, on their official website, English version is available:

Official Klitschko Site

I think there will be not fight between Klitschko and gorrila-like Valuev. Valuev lost his WBA champion belt to Ruslan Chagaev, and Vladymyr already said Valuev is not interesting to him without belt, because his is about to unite all the champion belts in own hands.

So now he is IBF, IBO and WBO world champion... most likely, the fight will be for WBA belt with Ruslan Chagaev, but this depends on Chagaev's promoter.

That's why I dont think we will see soon Volodymyr in one cage with gorillas.
