Klitschko routs Ibragimov, unifies IBF and WBO titles


NEW YORK -- At last, the heavyweight division has a unified champion.
Wladimir Klitschko is that man.

It was not a scintillating fight and nobody will compare it to Ali-Frazier, but Klitschko dominated pesky Sultan Ibragimov on Saturday night to win a lopsided unanimous decision before 14,011 at Madison Square Garden as he unified his world title belt with Ibragimov's.

Contd....

Ibragimov was ridiculos. He was trying to turn it in to an ally fight. Kept throwing wild punches and tackles.

Klitschko retains heavyweight titles with 11th-round KO of Thompson

BERLIN -- Wladimir Klitschko knocked out former sparring partner Tony Thompson in the 11th round to successfully defend his heavyweight titles Saturday.

Klitschko (51-3, 45 knockouts) turned boos to cheers, sending the American to the canvas with a right hand 1:38 into the 11th. He redeemed himself after an ugly 10th in which he pushed Thompson to the canvas and fell on him.

Klitschko's ninth straight win was tougher than expected, as he had to survive a second-round head-butt that left both fighters bleeding at the right eye.
