Klitschko wins

[ChickenMan]

In a real good heavyweight fight on HBO... Wladimir Klitschko survived three knock downs... two in the 5th round... to win a unanimous decision over Samuel Peter. All three cards had Klitschko winning 114-111. Other than the knock downs Klitschko dominated the fight with superior boxing skills... out punching Peter two to one... while winning 9 of the 12 rounds.

Does he have any QB skills?

If he does, send him out West! ;)

I thought that after three knock downs it was ruled a TKO?

The three knock down rule... (when in affect) applies only to knockdowns in the same round. Two were in the 5th... the other in the 9th

Did anybody catch the undercard fight?......what a brawl!

[Down with the Foe!]

I am a Boxing fan.....and I thought the undercard fight was wonderful.


PLEASE Excuse the rant here:


Am I the only one who thinks that the Heavweight division is just a joke?


I am to the point of saying "Get rid of it"


That was considered a good fight????? It must be even Big George and Lampley where talking it up,..... put george on a lie detector- he would admit it was terrible, in fact he could knock either of them out on an hours notice.


I thought it was terrible- and a disgrace to the sport.

Both those guys are "Tomato cans" (old school Boxing fans....Please?) and do not deserve airtime, let alone a belt.


On the flip side- the lighter weight classifications are turning in the best fights week in week out I have ever seen. ESPN, HBO, SHowtime, Fox.....lot's of great fights and exciting fighters (Heart)


rant.....deactivated.

Maybe Klitschko proved it finally doesn't have a glass jaw after all.
