His girlfriend Hayden Panettiere showed in the first row smiling the victory sign, but Wladimir Klitschko did not feel like cheering. The “Klitschko” calls of many Ukrainian fans at New York’s Madison Square Garden could not cheer him up. After the lackluster points victory in the championship fight against Bryant Jennings (USA) is “Dr. Steel Hammer” felt like the loser.

“Jennings has given me a lot of problems. He’s a tough guy. He has quick hands and is a good athlete, “Klitschko said after the victory work (116: 111, 116: 111, 118: 109):” I’m sorry Sometimes it does not work the way you want it. “. The defending himself realized that he could not convince the audience on his return after seven years. In the eyes of most US fans he does not reach the class of a Floyd Mayweather or Manny Pacquiao.

Jennings, however, was still full of energy after the battle. “This defeat gnaws not at my confidence,” said the 30-year-old. The former caretaker, who began boxing in 2004, looked even as the winner. “The verdict was not correct. I demand a re-match” late starter sounded after the first defeat in the 20th pro fight.

Good, but unfortunately no Ko

For a rematch saw Klitschko but no reason. “Jennings was strong and had earned this fight. But it was now not as a drama that we would do it again,” the old and new champion said after his 64th victory in the 67th professional fight (55 knockouts).

Klitschko’s four years older brother Vitali was satisfied. “It was good. Unfortunately, there was no Ko, but Jennings was hard to beat,” said the mayor of Kiev. Deontay Wilder, successor of Vitaly as a carrier of the WBC belt, is now looking forward to meeting with the triple champion of the WBA, WBO and IBF. “I hope it comes out next year for unification fight,” the “Bronze Boxer”.

Jennings said was extremely agile in the ring, more attacks thanks to good footwork from clever. “I could not establish a right distance in order to use the rights,” Klitschko said. Again and again stormed the challenger surprise attack forward and came through with its chairs. In the end, however, the late bloomers from Philadelphia was with 376 hits much less efficient than Klitschko (545).

For Klitschko had only the bare result. “It was hard, but the success story Klitschko will continue to be written,” the time champion. For eleven years, he is now unbeaten in nine years and 18 title defenses world champion. With the 27th world title fight he cracked even continuous world record of Joe Louis. That sounds like the Olympic champion in 1996 but not like: “This boxer can not compare me That was a legend..”

A clear idea has the triple champ of all his future endeavors. In September, boxed again, probably against the undefeated British giant Tyson Fury (2.06 meters). “I know the ranking does not exactly, but he is I think my next mandatory challenger,” said the world champion. To be boxed in Fury’s native England or in Germany. Klitschko can live with both. Just do not again New York.
