Wladimir Klitschko Drills Kubrat Pulev in The Fifth

•Nov 15, 2014

Wladimir Klitschko destroyed yet another heavyweight on Saturday at the O2 World Arena in Hamburg, Germany. The unified heavyweight champion did what he always does: clutched, grabbed and jabbed his way to a stoppage victory before thousands of adoring fans in Hamburg, Germany. The end came at 2:11 of Round 5 after Pulev ate a punishing left hook. Pulev tried to beat the count (as he did three other times in this bout), his left eye bloody, his right eye sporting a giant mouse underneath the eyelid. But after getting up to the seat of his pants as Tony Weeks reached five, Pulev fell flat on his back and it was all over.

The two best heavyweights in the world collide Saturday evening in Hamburg, Germany. The bout will airlive in the United States on HBO (Saturday, 4:45 p.m. ET).

Wladimir Klitschko makes the 17th defence of his world heavyweight crowns against unbeaten Kubrat Pulev on Saturday with the legendary Joe Louis' record of 25 defences in the division getting closer. The 38-year-old Klitschko has held at least the IBF and IBO heavyweight titles since 2006, adding the WBO title in 2008 by beating Sultan Ibragimov, before a unanimous decision against Britain's David Haye in 2011 gave him the WBA crown. It says as much for Klitschko's longevity as the lack of genuine contenders that the giant Ukrainian has had few peers in the division.
