Klitschko victory against Pulew: “Today it paid the price”

Wladimir Klitschko is actually considered as a controlled man, but on this evening in Hamburg was that different. Klitschko, 38, was sourly, very sourly even. “I was somewhat emotional, but I would like to excuse”, said myself Klitschko to the reporters, this time again in careful tone.

Lästereien, loudmouthedness, self marketing at the edge of laughableness - one knows from all large boxing matches, if the challengers position themselves. Normally Klitschko not actually allows to come near something like that. But the Bulgarian Pulew, which wanted to remove the IBF belt from the Ukrainian, had enormously provoked the titleholder. Klitschko had suggested to dope, Pulew before the Fight, and he struck “like a girl”.

While Klitschko spoke, Pulew - which had still said in the ring, it go to him “perfectly” - straight into the Eppendorfer university clinic admitted. Ring physician Stephan Bock summarized: “Central face fracture at the right yoke leg, heavy brain concussion, deep CUTs. Important it is to be excluded only now times that Pulew a CT gets, around a bleeding in the brain.”

For his conditions the world champion attacked every now and then almost wildly, fell themselves on Pulew, covered him up with impacts and neglected his covering. The fact that the majority of the 14,000 spectators in the hall for the challenger was had still additionally stimulated and Klitschko booed loud him. “I was surprised of it how many Bulgarian were today here. But it makes easier for me. I want to win the people for me, also those, which is actually against me”, said it. Later it added: “I was over-motivated.”

More emotions, attack desire in the ring, again discovered boxerische weapons - “I had talents, whom I do not show often. I am a Spätblüher”, said Klitschko. It improve still, never before it so much its sport enjoyed. “I enjoy the time at the point.”
