Klitschko beats Rahman to retain title

By ScottG

Wladimir Klitschko defended his crown by stopping Hasim Rahman in the seventh round on Saturday. The fight as I saw it was pretty predictable. Any of you who saw the Rahman vs James Tony debacle would have saw this one coming. Rahman had nothing for Klitchko who basically did whatever he wanted to do round after round. The only shocker in this fight was that Rahman lasted into the seventh round. He probably wouldn't have if Klitchko would have pressed him harder in the fight. Klitchko basically gave us the same plodding jabbing straight right hand throwing workman like performance we've grown used to seeing from him. Hopefully this is the last time we see Rahman in the ring, and hopefully this is the last time we are forced to watch and over rated washed up fighter get a cheap title shot. Yeah, right. At least it wasn't a Pay Per View fiasco =)
