Klitschko wins again; Standings Update

After nine rounds and one knockdown, Wladimir Klitschko was awarded a TKO victory over a bloody and outmatched Ruslan Chagaev in a fight that was universally recognized as being for THE Heavyweight Title.  Klitschko used his usual weapons, the dominant jab and the straight right hand to snap Chagaev's head back several times each round.  For his part, Chagaev tried to compete but refused to throw enough punches to make Klitschko worry.  The win moves Wladimir to 53-3 with 47 KOs.  More importantly, it helps Larry Merchant's Vodka Breath move to 6-2 with 5 KOs.

Standings:

1. Simply Juanderful (10-0) OPTION B: 23.5 (2.35), OPTION C: 178 (17.8)

2. Children Eaters   (6-0)  OPTION B: 9.5 (1.58), OPTION C: 104 (17.3)

3. Knuckle Sandwich(5-0-1) OPTION B: 10.5 (1.75), OPTION C: 91 (15.2)

4. LM's Vodka Breath (6-2)  OPTION B: 12 (1.5), OPTION C: 110 (13.8)

5. Punching Bags   (6-2)  OPTION B: 6 (0.75), OPTION C: 97 (12.1)

Under 2 months to go in the league, Simply Juanderful's lead seems insurmountable.  Mark is threatening to jump into second place.  With Mayweather-Marquez postponed, we have only the following fights to consider:

Chris John (Mark) vs Rocky Juarez

Tomasz Adamek (Bri) vs Bobby Gunn

Juan Manuel Lopez (Bri) vs a scrub

Arthur Abraham (Jeff) vs M.Oral

Vic Darchinyan (Joel) vs Joseph Agbeko

Is This a Joke?

It now appears that David Haye is not fit to fight Wladimir Klitschko on June 20th.  Something about a hand injury, or a back injury.  Seriously guys, do you think that it's ok to do this?  Do you think that it's ok to keep screwing over the boxing public time after time, after time, after time? Nikolay Valuev refused to really fight against Evander Holyfield, then he refuses to step in the ring with an infectious Ruslan Chagaev.  Chagaev has been injured or unable to fight in about 80 percent of his recent fights.  Vitali Klitschko is on pace to fight about once a year.  Sam Peter has proven that he sucks, and prospects like Chris Arreola, Eddie Chambers and Alexander Povetkin all have major flaws.  Then David Haye makes things interesting, talks a good game, and then pulls a Garnett and says "OWWW!!"

Wladimir is making things interesting in his online remarks lately, talking about maybe fighting Chagaev or Arreola as a backup to Haye.  Or maybe he'll wait 3 weeks and fight Haye.  Either way, diehard fans of heavyweight boxing once again have to do what it feels like we're always doing....waiting for a decent fight.
