By Dave Lahr: IBF/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko (55-3, 49 KO’s) is one of those types of weak-chinned heavyweight that are fine as long as he’s not getting hit. When Wladimir is throwing shots on the outside and pacing himself so that he doesn’t run out of gas, he’s very good and hard to beat. But if Wladimir faces a smart and tough heavyweight like Corrie Sanders, Lamon Brewster or Ross Puritty, things don’t go well for Wladimir because he gets knocked out.

On April 30th, Wladimir is fighting one of the smartest heavyweights that he’s ever faced in the young 27-year-old Chisora at the SAP-Arena, in Mannheim, Germany. Chisora, unlike the poor saps that have faced Wladimir in recent years, already understands Wladimir’s weaknesses. Chisora says he’s been studying Wladimir’s fights over and over again late and night and knows where he’s most vulnerable and how to beat the tall, weak-chinned Ukrainian.

Chisora understands already that to beat Wladimir, all he has to do is cover some real estate between him and Wladimir and get inc quickly in close so that he can tag Wladimir on the side of the head when Wladimir slowly reaches out for his customary clinch. This is where Wladimir will be there for the taking, and where Chisora is going to blast him out. When Wladimir goes for the clinch, he’s going to be dust because Chisora will refuse to stop punching for a moment. The referee is going to have to drag Chisora off of Wladimir each time they come in close, because Chisora is going to be clubbing him into submission. Wladimir is going to need saving from Chisora because he’s going to get eaten alive each time Chisora comes inside and starts to tear his head off from his shoulders.
