(Picture Credit: KMG/Michael Sterling Eaton) By Allan Fox: Noel Thornberry, the trainer for challenger Alex Leapai (30-4-3, 24 KO’s), is hoping that the referee assigned to his fight this Saturday night against IBF/IBO/WBA/WBO heavyweight champion Wlaidmir Klitschko (61-3, 51 KO’s), will limit the amount of clinches that the 6’6” Wladimir does in their fight in order for Leapai to have a fair chance of winning the fight at the Koenig Pilsener Arena, Oberhausen, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany.
It’s no secret that Wladimir uses the clinch to control his opponents to keep them from being able to throw punches, but Thornberry wants the referee to do his job by making sure that the clinching from Wladimir isn’t excessive.
