The main event on Saturday night was a battle for the WBC heavyweight throne that was being defended for the initial time by Vitali Klitschko. The opponent, and I mean that in more than one way, Danny Williams was awarded this fight on the merits that he KO’d Mike Tyson in July. We all knew that Williams had little or no chance, and well, little was out of town. Simply put, and in the vernacular of the fight game, this was a “Work” (See easy!) fight for Klitschko.

That's true but it's also our fault-us boxing fans- who tend to follow the hype a bit too much sometimes.
Maybe in this case we just wanted to see VK loose in order to have the HW division become more competitive ;)

I agree with the article, PPV's have become way too over the top.

Danny Williams didn`t belong in teh ring with Klitscko but can you tell me who did? Byrd maybe, Ruiz maybe ( based on who he has.....won fights against according to funky judging ). But if you look at the division there isn`t many opponents out there!
