Saturday night's alright for fighting

So I'm a pretty big fan of the Klitschko brothers. They're clever, they're charming, they're very very good at what they do. I follow them on twitter, I read stuff about them, I keep up with their results. But I've never actually had chance to watch one of their fights in full. Now (thank you VERY much ESPN) I finally had that chance. It was an interesting match-up Wladimir Klitschko was taking on Mariusz Wach from Poland who at 6'7 and a half is actually taller than Wlad, he also boasted an unbeaten record of 27 wins, 15 by knockout. He's a big, imposing guy if a little rough around the edges. Wladimir is, of course, his usual composed self, focussed and polished as befits a world champion. While the fight was perhaps unspectacular, lacking a big showy dramatic moment but that's not to say it wasn't still entertaining. It was, very much so. I really enjoyed watching Wlad get into his rhythm and watching his strategy evolve. It was really great to watch all of his movements, his footwork, thee little drops of his shoulder. There's definitely a sort of beauty to it all and I can definitely see how people get hooked on watching these fights. However, that's not to say i don't acknowledge the reality of it all, those slow-motion shots of all the punches connecting are absolutely brutal. And there were plenty of replays. Wlad dominated pretty much every round, landing almost every swing and sticking to a tiight gameplan and not allowing himself to get caught. Wach did however land one big right hand on Wlad in the 5th but was unable to capitalize afterwards. He wasn't lacking in power but unfortunately wasn't very quick which hindered him more and more as the fight went on. He was pretty much out on his feet by the end of the 12th but he did acquit himself well. And so the Klitschko party goes on.
