WBO CHAMP IN TITLE FIGHT # 18
San Francisco, CA– Gennady Golovkin, Sergey Kovalev, Wladimir Klitschko, after a century of the Sweet Science being controlled by American fighters, boxing is now a global phenomenon.
WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT BOXING CHAMPION
Let’s take a look at World & WBO heavyweight king Wladimir Klitschko (62-3, 52 KOs). Having been in the heavyweight mix since winning a Gold medal in 1996, the Wladimir of 2014 is not the same fighter that lost to Lamon Brewster, Ross Purity and the late Corrie Sanders.
TRUTH AFTER LOSING WAS LEARNING
No, since April 2004 Wladimir has shut everybody down and his critics up. And while he’s 38, Wlad has never ever taken a beating. In the 1998 Puritty fight, Klitschko simply ran out of gas after swinging for the fences for 11 rounds.
RIGHT HOOKS FAR MORE DANGEROUS THAN THE LEFT!
The Corrie Sanders loss was a southpaw (left handed) thing as Sanders hit Wlad with an unseen right hook. They could fought 100 more times and Corrie would likely not ever emerge victorious again.
BREWSTER GOT LOST IN THE MIX
Lamon Brewster, don’t call him Lamont as he gets irked, caught Wladimir with powerful shots, rocked him and dropped him for his last loss in 2004. Unbeaten for over a decade, unless once beaten Bermain (Berman) Stiverne (24-1-1, 21 KOS) can raise his game another level, I don’t see the Haitian native or the still unproven American Deontay Wilder (32-0, 32 stiffs) beating him.
KLITSCHKO DEFENDS LAURELS AGAIN IN DEUSTSCHLAND
But before those most desired matches can take place, Wladmir meets unbeaten Bulgarian Kubrat Pulev (20-0, 11 KOs) September 16 in Germany. Even though he’s 33, some think they’re rushing Pulev because of his age. when in reality it’s because he could lose on any given night.
Only Father Time licks Wlad right now.
