Klitschko dominates the bigger, undefeated Wach in a massively one-sided UD

Last night in Hamburg, Germany, 5-belt Heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko (59-3) completely out-boxed and outmatched the larger, younger and much less experiences Mariusz Wach (27-1) in his 13th consecutive title defense.

With Heavyweight contender Jonathon Banks in his corner, Wladimir skilfully and systematically picked his man apart from start to finish. Only one judge did not give him all twelve rounds, which I would say is incorrect but that is academic.

Wach did catch Klitschko with a decent right hand and followed up with a flurry whilst Wladimir was on the ropes but this was over fairly quickly and the normal pattern continued. Besides this it is safe to say Wach provided the champ no problems and even brought Klitschko out to water which was deeper than his ankles.

Defensively Wladimir truly demonstrated his class, he slipped, laid back and moved his feet to virtually everything the big Pole brought to the table with relative ease.

I do commend Wach on his performance however. He did maintain a certain level of effort throughout the fight, albeit inadequate, as opposed to numerous previous opponents who give up and go into survival mode after a couple of bold rounds.

In spite of this, he failed to really set up anything of conviction and simply through what I would describe as potshots in hope of getting a positive outcome which remained ever elusive as the bout progressed.

Wach should have a level of pride to an extent, firstly in that he maintained an undefeated record to the stage of a title shot. Secondly that he had the great experience of a title shot against a Klitschko and managed to go the distance. That is all however, as to say that Wach ‘had his moments’ would really be a misrepresentation of what happened in Germany last night.

What I did notice in terms of a change from Klitschko was his willingness to throw a considerable number of right hands. As in many of his previous fights he appears unnecessarily cautious to let it go. This may be because Wach is his size and he does not have to fear over-reaching as much as he does against his shorter opponents.

It would good to see the dynamic of him fighting a taller man. It gives him a sense of credibility and shows he is not just skillful for his size, he is skilful. He is not just strong for his size, he is strong.

This brings me to the question; when are people going to actually notice the greatness which is continuously and consistently demonstrating itself? When are people going to put this reign on the shelf with the likes of Louis and Holmes?

This man exceeded the likes of Tyson, Patterson and many others years ago. He is now simply milking it for all it is worth and I struggle to conjure even the remotest of remote chances that he will lose more than two rounds in a fight for the rest of his career, never mind actually lose a fight. This kind of dominance should not and hopefully will not be brushed under the carpet by history.

In other Heavyweight news, Robert Helnius (18-0) extends his undefeated record in a 10-round unanimous decision victory over Sherman ‘The Tank’ Williams.
