Who wins on Oct 2: W Klitschko or D Williamson ?

[Nautilus]

I thought his PhD was in physical education

Wlad's Candidate of Science degree was in physical education, and Williamson's Master of Science degree was in business administration.

You're right. Thanks.

At least these two guys don't HAVE to fight to feed themselves. That's a good thing, to have two guys with clean criminal backgrounds and education in a nationally televised main event.

I'm all for people using boxing to better themselves, but there's too many wife batterers, drug abusers, rapists, and other assorted bad boys sucking up headlines.

Yep. That's a problem.

I found a very nice biography of Williamson on his website:

Good stuff. It's a shame I don't think he's going to last long on Saturday. But I guess anyone - Michael Moorer, John Ruiz, Hasim Rahman, Kali Meehan - can get KO'd quickly in a big fight and still have a decent career.

Good point.

based on both fighters chins , i bet on a first round double KO.

Using the same prediction rule, one could have predicted Rahman KO2 Sanders KO2 Rahman.

Sanders doesn't have a weak chin though.

I never said that he does. Once Sanders had been KOed in 2, but obviously that did not have much of an effect on his later fights. Likewise, KO1 of Williamson is not a proof of a weak chin, at least not yet.
