The heavyweight kingpin Wladimir Klitschko will put his titles on the line against the WBO mandatory challenger Tony Thompson on July 12. As an independent Chinese boxing scribe on the TSS team, I’ll try to break down the fight in an unbiased fashion.
Wladimir Klitschko
Strengths:
Devastating right hand. "Dr. Steelhammer" lives up to his moniker, possessing arguably the heaviest right hand in the current heavyweight division.
Stinging jab with pinpoint accuracy. Wladimir Klitschko has developed a well-educated thudding left, with sensational precision. He used it to full advantage when he stopped big Ray Austin in two, without even unleashing his heavy artillery – the right hand. He also jabbed his way to victory against his last two opponents – former heavyweight champ Lamon Brewster and Sultan Ibragimov.
Evolved to an upgraded version. Under the tutelage of legendary handler Emanuel Steward, Wladimir Klitschko has been much improved in terms of mentality, conditioning, strategy, balance and his left jab.
Speed edge among Giants. A towering presence in the ring, Wladimir Klitschko has faster hands than they appear to be, and is comparatively agile for a fighter of his size.
Weaknesses:.
