Two brilliant KOs by respected members of the slavic brotherhood. The slavic general Klitschko and his slavic compratriot Ibragimov were victorious tonight. I must say, my fellow slavs have nothing else to prove. They will destroy the feeble weaklings and show the world what is the perfect slavic athletic specimen.

They need to unify the belts, or at least unify 2 of them. I am American, but I think it's great how we get so cocky as a nation, and then the former Soviet Union comes in and cleans us up. Now days peaople talk about "bringing the title back to the United States". Also, I am 27, and my whole life it was always drilled into my head that whites can't win the Championship at Heavyweight. I remember about 15 years ago Denzel Washington was talking trash about Rocky's believability. Saying two white could never fight for the title, that racist. It is SO cool that the former Soviets are in there because it flipped Heavyweight boxing upsite down as far as the way we used to think versus how it is now days. People can talk trash about Heavyweights, blah blah blah. If it's true, and the division is so weak, it shouldn't be very hard for someone to come in to clean it up. But they can, dare I say this? OK I dare, even a primed Iron Mike Tyson couldn't get past Dr. Iron Fist. He HAD to quit once because he tore his rotar cuff and that required surgery. Against Lewis "The Champion". Vitali WANTED to continue. When faced with a rematch, Lewis decided to quit like a little chicken. Vitali was about to KO Lennox. Anyone who says "no", think Rahman, think McCall, think Vitali's 34 KO's in 35 wins. KO-town, Lennox had a one way ticket there and KNEW it. The Eastern Europeans rule HW and it will remain that way for quite sometime. What else do they have to prove? Unification and staying power. Staying power they will easily achieve, but unification comes down to the promoters and the unorganised orgaisations, not the fighters.

Everyone loves a winner, but Klitschko still has a suspect chin. If Cory Sanders can turn out your brother's lights, I think Maskov or Valuev would give either of the Slavic champs a run for their money. I have to admit, I was glad the older Klitschko came out of retirement, he was always the better of the two, and without Lewis in the picture should get as many belts as they allow him to fight for. I honestly don't anyone out there better than him, title holder on not.

Klitschko's chin is VERY suspect. Peter put him down 3 times, and he's 10 times the boxer he was then. Wladimir wants no part of him again. Those heavyweight belts need to be unified and I think the best in the division doesn't even have a belt (Peter).
