Wladimir Klitschko takes out Tony Thompson again.


Wladimir Klitschko kept his stranglehold on the heavyweight division with a 6th round stoppage of American Tony  Thompson. Thompson started well winning the 1st round before Wlad got his piston –like jab going. By the 5th Thompson had slowed down dramatically and was floored by a big shot from the champ. He did well to beat the count and Wlad seemed keen to let him see the next round by standing off rather than unleashing a combination which would have surely ended the fight. Not that we had long to wait for the end, as a barrage of punching from Wlad so Thompson bundled to the canvas in a heap. He gamely got to his feet on the 7 count, but the referee waved the fight off to save him from further punishment. Thompson appeared to have no complaints. Wlad will now be eagerly watching the David Haye vs Derek Chisora fight to see if there is a potential opponent there. He will also be aware of the progress fellow giants David Price and Tyson Fury are making.
