Wladimir win completes Klitschkos domination

Wladimir Klitschko won a unanimous decision over David Haye,adding the WBA title to his heavyweight haul.

Wladimir Klitschko won a unanimous decision over David Haye,adding the WBA title to his heavyweight haul on Saturday.

The victory in a rain-soaked football stadium in Hamburg means Klitschko and older brother,Vitali,hold all three major heavyweight titles. Wladimir already had the IBF title while Vitali was the WBC champion.

Klitschko dominated almost from the opening bell against Haye,winning for the 14th straight time and improving to 17-2 in title fights. But he never knocked Haye down in a bout that did not live up to its hype.

All three judges gave it to Klitschko,scoring the 12-round showdown 117-109,118-108 and 116-110. Haye,who stirred most of the hype with often crass trash-talking,said he hurt a toe on his right foot in training three weeks ago and lost some of his explosive power because of it.

Klitschko regretted he didnt get to knock out the Englishman. Its definitely a victory for boxing because this man has to go. Its not cool what he did with T-shirts. Its disgraceful to the sport and disrespectful to his opponent.
