Same Old Song: Wladimir Klitschko Dominates Tony Thompson Again To Retain Heavyweight Championship

Wladimir Klitschko continued his machinelike demolition of the heavyweight division, knocking out Tony Thompson in the 6th round in a rematch in Berne, Switzerland to maintain his stranglehold on the heavyweight championship.

A crushing right hand from Klitschko in the 5th round dropped Thompson in a heap, but Thompson demonstrated heart and determination that far outweighed his hopes of overcoming the long odds against him. Thompson was never able to regain his senses after the knockdown and Klitschko finished him in the subsequent round with a flurry.

Klitschko managed to dominate Thompson even more decisively than the first time the two met, when Thompson was knocked out in the 11th round. This time, Klitschko did the job in nearly half the time, while avoiding nearly everything Thompson threw in the process.
