Stick a fork in Klitchsko, he's done.

If you watched it last night, his career is over.

He probably will not fight again. What a HUGE dissapointment this is. The heavywheight division already sucks bad enough, at least the brothers gave it some appeal.

Oh well, at least there is some killer other fighters coming up. Jermaine Taylor, I can't wait till he fights Hopkins.

Boxing sucks.

Yeah, he went down like a sack of potatoes. And he took only one decent punch. Alls I know is its a good thing he wasn't taking the punishment he dished out or the fight would have ended in the 1rst round. It appears he does have a weak chin indeed.

What about his brother though, doesn't he have a fight coming up? And isn't he the tough one?

Yeah poor guy, I watched this fight too and I think he's done. Like Roy Jones said, once people think you have a suspect chin, its suspect and there's nothing you can do about it. Vitali has to get a win to earn some respect back.

His next bout is April 24th, against Corrie Sanders, the same guy who kicked his brother's ass before Lamon Brewster on Saturday.

The Zab Judah / Corrie Spinks fight was awesome though! What a close fight. Spinks is lucky it ended when it did.

I thought Judah won the fight. He clearly dominated the end of the fight.

I just think ending a fight dominating is much stronger then coming out fast.

Yep, I was very surprised it went to Spinks. I thought that last round knock down sealed it for Judah.

Wladimir and Mesi were never going to live up to the Great White Hope status that was always nagging them. Wlad can't finish off a mediocre Brewster and Mesi pulls out an embarrasing decision over the cruiserweight Jirov. The HW division sucks horribly and anything short of paroling Ike Ibeabuchi and miraculously bringing him back to his former condition, will not save it. I don't know where David Tua has been, but he should strike while the iron's hot (as long as he avoids Byrd). A granite chin and a powerful left hook go a long way when you don't have to fight pure boxers.

Mesi didn't even lose.

Great white hype? No one ever said Mesi was supposed to be. He's just an up and coming boxer. He's still learning, give him a break. I doubt he's ready for any of the big timers, but give him a little time, and he will be.

As for Wladirmir, no chin as a heavyweight = no career.

I never said he lost. He was knocked down three times by a cruiserweight, which does not bode well for him. His record is also padded with tomato cans he's fought in Buffalo. James Toney or Hasim Rahman would be good fights, and he if can manage to make it past a fighter of that caliber, then I'll speak more highly of him.
