Wladimir Klitschko retained his heavyweight boxing title belts today in Germany, beating the American Tony Thompson with an 11th-round knockout.

It wasn't a particularly exciting fight, but it was a dominant performance by Klitschko. I live blogged the fight and gave all 10 rounds to Klitschko before he finally ended it with a hard right hand to the chin in the 11th. The HBO punch stats indicated that Thompson actually landed more punches, 150-121, but Klitschko was much more powerful. The fight was never really in doubt.

I think the man needs to fight a live bear before heavyweight boxing becomes exciting again.
