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
