    Klitschko Brock post fight interveiw

    OK something is weird with the way reporters do things...
    Case in point, I found these quotes from CNN

    "It was a left hook, straight right combination," Ukrainian Klitschko told reporters. "I should have landed it that way earlier in the fight. But it took that much time to get my rhythm and distance. He's a good defensive fighter."

    THAT IS NOT WHAT WAS SAID AFTER THE FIGHT!

    My transcript of the post fight interview:
    ...Calvin Brock is very difficult to reach and to hit, (uh) his protection is very good and he (feels?) punches very good that is why it was not easy to get him in the first rounds - first I had to get a distance and then I (should?) I finish the fight 'm two rounds earlier... ( a breif discussion ensues regarding past fights against undefeated fighters, and how he considers Calvin Brock the best fighter without a belt)...

    Then comes a part of the interveiw that I find surprising (in that it is widely ignored in the reporting following the fight)

    ...I'm thankful to everybody at show tonight each (part?) of ticket tonight was going to UNESCO project to build schools in namibia africa for those children because they have without education no future So now they will get at least quarter million we will see it should be more because I see arena is full so I'm expecting good number...

    If anyone has somehow recorded this fight live, they can replay the interveiw.

    So why did CNN change up the interveiw?

    "I knew it was over there," he said. "I should have tried that earlier, but it took me time to get my distance and rhythm."

    There is no mention of Wladimirs contribution(s) to UNESCO.

    HBO broadcast a different interveiw... Maybe I'm missing something here?
    Was there another Larry Merchant interveiw at the end of the fight that I missed? Does anyone have an official copy/link/transcript of the real post fight interveiw?

    Why don't they promote the fact the Wladimir & Vitali are decent guys? I think that a champion working towards such a noble cause would get some good publicity for boxing as a whole...

      They prob don't want to mention it. Boxers are savages not humane >.> Good for Wlad though, he's a good guy and as much as I haven't liked him, mainly not because of him but his fans, hes probably the best HWT at the moment.

        Nobody ever talks about how much charity they have done to the poor in Ukraine and Africa, because they are, well..........foreigners.
