Klitschko Retains WBC Title!

Ok, I'm a proud Ukrainian and said that not once before! ;))
It feels really good to be a proud Ukrainian when something like this happens! We are very glad we've got some people that show our country from a different side, thanks to whom we are known from a better side!
So, yesterday, the older brother, Vitali Klistchko, won against British Derek Chisora in 12 rounds!

Vitali Klitschko comfortably retained his WBC heavyweight title on Saturday, scoring a unanimous points decision over British challenger Dereck Chisora in Munich's Olympic Hall to ensure his family maintained a global stranglehold on the division.
The 40-year-old Ukrainian, whose younger brother Vladimir holds the WBO, IBF, WBA and IBO crowns, improved his record to 44-2 but was forced to go the distance against the former British and Commonwealth champion, who made more enemies than friends with his antics before and after the 12 round clash.


"I am happy to defend my title. It was a good performance from Chisora. I don't want to make excuses - it was not easy - but I saw every punch from Chisora. I am upset because I wanted to finish the fight before 12 rounds," Klitschko said in a ringside interview.
The taller Klitschko set the foundations for victory by dominating his shorter opponent in the opening rounds, his longer reach allowing him to pound Chisora with punishing rights from a distance.

Chisora, who had slapped his rival at the weigh-in on Friday and also spat water into Vladimir's face during the pre-fight ceremonies, recovered well and rattled Klitschko with a solid uppercut in the fifth round as he gained in confidence.
The judges scored the bout 118-110, 118-110 and 119-111 in favour of the Ukrainian with a defiant Chisora, who continued to stare down both Klitschko brothers after the decision, demanding a rematch as the 12,000 crowd booed and jeered him.

"I have respect for Chisora as a fighter, but not as a human. He set a bad example for boxing and all fighters. He came from Great Britain but he is not a gentleman."

On Friday, Brit slapped WBC heavyweight kingpin Vitali Klitschko across the face during the staredown at the weigh-ins for their championship...
And then made a new low last night by marching up to WBC heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko’s brother Wladimir Klitschko and spitting in his face before tonight’s fight in Munich, Germany. Oh, the shame of it all. Just when you think Chisora couldn’t stoop any lower than his slapping of Vitali on Friday during the weigh-in, Chisora has to go and do this.
