	Wladimir Klitschko, Sultan Ibragimov want to unify heavyweight division
		Klitschko and Ibragimov are sons of the former Soviet Union who come to this fight from different backgrounds and with different philosophical approaches.
		Klitschko ended up in one of the many Soviet Union sports academies because he was too young to be admitted to medical school.
		Klitschko plans to make a donation of at least $250,000 to the foundation and is earmarking a portion for an academy in the Bronx where boxing will be taught.

		Klitschko has a surprisingly stout left hook that was on display against Samuel Peter and occasionally he was able to land.

	reviewjournal.com -- Sports: Wladimir Klitschko tries to withstand knocks on h...
		While Wladimir Klitschko possesses uncommon agility and hand speed for a man his size, an often devastating jab and one-punch power with his right hand, he has yet to dispel the notion that his chin is vulnerable.
		Though Klitschko (42-2, 39 knockouts) is an 11-1 favorite in his WBO heavyweight title fight against Lamon Brewster (29-2, 26 KOs) on Saturday at Mandalay Bay, whispers abound that the underdog might have a shot because of Klitschko's weak chin.
		That is foremost on Wladimir Klitschko's mind, along with erasing a burgeoning portrait of himself as a bully who can dish it out but can't take it.

		Klitschko left no question that he was the superior fighter, controlling the fight from the opening bell before Brewster's corner threw in the towel in the sixth round, gaining revenge over his foe.

		I noticed that Wladimir was breathing through his mouth from the first round on, and actually, in retrospect, he seemed void of enthusiasm as he made his way to the ring.
		Klitschko collapses face first on the mat, his mouth wide open, he is in serious trouble.
		Meanwhile Wladimir Klitschko seemed to be on the verge of collapsing, almost leaning his head on the referee and then on Dr. Margaret Goodman's shoulder as she attempted to examine his eyes.

		Two years ago, Wladimir Klitschko was the heavyweight people were talking about, as the logical successor to Lennox Lewis and as a fighter who would give a fresh sparkle to the heavyweight division.
		Klitschko landed a big overhand right to the chin with 50 seconds to go in the round and connected with a left-right combination to the side of the head at the 10-second mark.
		Klitschko, who is a native of the Ukraine but has fought 36 of his 47 professional fights in Germany, is now 44-3 with 40 wins inside the distance.

		Wladimir Klitschko has to be favored based on size, skill, and a prior victory, but he has been exposed to a certain extent and Byrd has been waiting for a bout like this.
		Wladimir does not have a suspect chin as everyone thinks, he has suspect confidence in his chin because of Corrie Sanders.
		Klitschko will get frustrated at times during this match up because he will not be able to land as cleanly as he did before.

	SportingNews.com - Wladimir Klitschko beats Samuel Peter in IBF eliminator
		Klitschko, who fell out of the heavyweight picture after a pair of upset losses in 2003 and 2004, survived being knocked down three times by Samuel Peter on Saturday night en route to a unanimous 12-round decision in an IBF elimination bout.
		Frustrated that Klitschko was repeatedly tying him up, Peter resorted to hitting him in the back of the head during clinches, knocking him down with one such punch in the fifth.
		Klitschko escaped, but his legs were rubbery and as he retreated, Peter caught him again with a right to the face and Klitschko went down for the third time in the match.

	Wladimir Klitschko
		Wladimir Klitschko was an underdog against undefeated bully Samuel Peter, and Doc's recognized right away his great value.
		Either way a great win for Wladimir Klitschko, but I wonder how his confidence got so low he was afraid to do anything when Peter was done in round 12 from a vicious right hand.
		Peter was no longer dangerous and Wladimir Klitschko could have sealed the show and put a nice late knockdown on his resume.

		Klitschko did it smartly, which is why he won the match easily despite only really being knocked down twice.

		I see James Toney as a saxophone player, whereas Nikolai Valuev is probably the stand-up bass, and, as for Wladimir Klitschko, I think he reminds me of a rhythm-guitar, in the sense that, all he does is very sharp, accurate, and right by the notes.

	Wladimir Klitschko Gets Respect \| TheSweetScience.com Boxing
		Klitschko erased many of those doubts after he clipped Byrd for the WBO title and reigned as their heavyweight king from 2000-2002.
		Wladimir Klitschko certainly is the best fighter that Peter will have faced to date, and Peter will have over five inches in height to overcome when they meet.
		His petition to the WBO to be reinstated as their #1 contender after falling apart against Brewster was disrespectful to the sport; he looked as awful against Sanders as four knockdowns in 3 minutes and 27 seconds suggest; and his loss to Puritty was a lesson that seems to have been lost rather than learned.
