Klitschko gives Williams autobiography

[J !]

The psychological battle is on - WBC heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko gave challenger Danny Williams a copy of his autobiography at the latest press conference to promote their December 11 clash at the Mandalay Bay, Las Vegas.

Klitschko then added that he'd be glad to sign it AFTER he beats Danny next month.

The message the giant champion was sending was clear - "I'm a big star, you're not."

Klitschko told the press: "I hear that (Danny's trainer) Jim McDonnell has been reading books about me trying to find weaknesses. But he has read the wrong book - here, this is the (correct) book to read about the Klitschko brothers."

But McDonnell told DannyWilliams.tv: "That was nice of Vitali to give me something to read while Danny is out running, training to take the world title off him next month. He's a nice man. But, after reading it, plus watching all his professional fights on tape there's nothing I don't know about Vitali Klitschko. And, really, the book isn't much of a read anyway. After Danny knocks him out, I think it is only fair Danny signs it and gives it back to him."

Indeed, the first autograph from Danny as world heavyweight champion would fetch a lot of money on eBay!

Thats very amusing. Danny Williams has got to be careful here because he has alot of mental problems when preparing for fights. Didn't he once get hypnotised to help him focus or something? Vitali is the real deal at the moment and even if it's not Danny who exposes him (I hope it is) then somebody else will soon enough.

As for the book it may lead some clues to Vitali and how to his mind works a little but i don't think it will be the book that wins Danny the fight. It will be Danny's heart that defeats Vitali. My prediction stands that if Vitali has not won in the first 6 rounds then i give it to Danny.

Danny is a lot better since he signed with Mcdonnell.
Jim will get his body and mind spot on, Jim is a top trainer one of the best around at the minute..

How long has Danny been with McDonnell?

[J !]

since just b4 the tyson fight. (i.e 4 weeks prior)
they did have a breif time together before but not under the same conditions, i.e. a real training camp.
Jim has come on leaps and bounds as a trianer in the past three to four years and as he is only recently retired himself really puts his fighters through the mill, not only that but he does most of it with them. IN the heavies case all of it due to the fact he is so fit and light.
its hard work fighting for jim i can assure you, heard it many times from various folk.
