In the first heavyweight unification clash in nine years, IBF/IBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko (50-3, 44 KOs) claimed the WBO title of previously unbeaten Sultan Ibragimov (22-1-1, 17 KOs) on Saturday night at Madison Square Garden in New York City.
As fightnews.com reports, Sultan did more in round one, but Wladimir got his jab working in round two and used that punch almost exclusively to win the next few rounds. Sultan's aggression gave him the edge in the sixth, but Klitschko again took over for the balance of the fight as Ibragimov found it difficult to get inside. Scores were 119-110, 117-111, 118-110.
