Before 60,000 fans at the Veltins Arena in Gelsenkirchen, Germany, WBO/IBF heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko (53-3, 47KOs) stopped WBA "champion in recess" Ruslan Chagaev (25-1-1, 17KOs) after nine rounds of action. [details]

one word: combination
does Klitschko even know what that means? As much i respect him, it's becoming increasingly difficult to continue rooting for him. Throw an uppercut for peace sake! In fact, throw more than 2 punches in an exchange atleast. DAMN! -
What's a Klitschko?Comment

BJ Flores just called Vlad a Greek god. Lol.Comment

Goodness you got your report written quickly!Originally posted by BIGPOPPAPUMP View Post
That's the most fluid I've seen Wlad fight. Shame he didn't throw more combinations but he didn't need to. Very good performance. I was surprised it was stopped so quickly though.
In a way it says something about how seriously Wlad must have taken Haye though, because he appears to have prepared harder than he usually does.Comment

A lot of people always say that Arreola doesn't stand a chance against Vlad. But he wouldn't just stand there like a dumb ass and continue eating jab after jab. I think Arreola could beat Vlad.Comment

dominating performance.terrible fight thou.did you see the look on chagaev faces after he got of the canvas?he had that "**** what did I get myself into look"...LOL! He couldve knocked him out anytime he wanted.anyone can see why hbo & showtime never touched this fight.haye,povetkin,arreola,& even my bucket of chicken eaten toney would have fought harder.I did say 2 days ago I thought chagaev lost to drumond & that if he fought like that again he'd lose badly.he hasn't beaten anyone other than ruiz & valuev.those fights were3 years ago.I honestly think he is going to retire.the injuries & health issues have done him in.he's shot at 30.I was never convinced he was that good before this.hb Flores sure tried to sell it as a exciting fight...he's a Greek god! LOL! Get your pink knee pads on Flores now we all know what BJ stands for.LOL!Comment

Arreola is too slow and flabby. Wlad would see his punches coming from a mile away. I think some give Arrola a better chance because of his fights being so exciting lately, getting dropped and getting back up and all. Means nothing once a 6'6 guy marginalizes him and uses him as a fat body bag to practice on.Originally posted by Iceta View Post
Oh and I didn't just say this because i'm a Wladimir fan (note: my real name is actually Vladimir with a V)Comment

Chagaev didn't really press the fight after the 2nd round. I agree that Wlad's fight's haven't been very exciting, but his opponents aren't helping him much. As much as I want to see Haye get KTFO, I respect the fact that he wants to make a fight out of it.
In short, it's not all Klitschko's fault.Comment

Could Arreola even make it into the championship rounds?Comment
