VITALI KLITSCHKO scored a comprehensive win over a brave but out-classed Shannon Briggs last weekend.
British referee Ian John Lewis has got some stick for not stopping the fight when he should have.
But sometimes a corner needs to step in to protect their man as well.
Briggs went to hospital afterwards suffering from concussion and facial damage.
Those kind of injuries - and the bravery Briggs showed - makes David Haye's comments about "executing" Audley Harrison all the more disgusting.
Klitschko once again proved that he and brother Wladimir are a cut above the other heavyweights out there at the moment.
But my man Dereck Chisora believes he can match Wladimir when he fights him on December 11 in Germany.
Del Boy is a big underdog, but he fancies his chances big time!
I feel Dereck's fight against Wladimir will be more competitive than Vitali against Briggs.
When their reigns do come to an end, the Klitschko brothers will be remembered as good heavyweights.
But I am not convinced they have cemented their legacies.
One of the biggest problems they have is that there are two of them and the Ukranians refuse to fight each other.
Therefore the the public do not know who the best heavyweight in the world is, unlike most generations when there has always been a stand-out champion.
Aud the fraud
THE things people say!
Audley Harrison said this week: "There are two low points in my career.
"The first was when I was told, three days before the Tomasz Bonin fight, that the BBC would not be renewing my contract.
"The other was signing for Frank Warren. That, to me, was surrender and it broke my heart."
Harrison was a very lucky man to have got a seven-figure sum from the Beeb, considering the opposition he fought.
Is this the same fighter who bombarded me with calls and asked his lawyer Robert Davis to beg me not to ditch him after his dismal loss to Martin Rogan?
I released Harrison from the contract in December 2008. Three months later I received an email from him asking if he could fight for me again.
