Wladimir Klitschko wanted to punish David Haye for all the trash-talking he did leading up to their fight. He settled for making Haye merely another statistic in his heavyweight run.
Klitschko dominated from the opening bell Saturday on his way to a lopsided decision to add the WBA title to his IBF, WBO and IBO belts. "He was scared to fight me," Klitschko said. "I was expecting more of a challenge in the ring, but he was super-defensive."His older brother, Vitali, 39, owns the World Boxing Council title that he will defend against Polish boxer Tomasz Adamek on Sept. 10. Vitali is 42-2 with 39 knockouts.
Klitschko, at 6-foot-6 (1.7 meters) and 242.6 pounds (110 kilograms), had a size advantage over the 6-foot-3 Haye, who weighed in at 212.8 pounds. The Ukrainian’s reach of 81 inches was three inches longer than Haye’s.
