Wladimir Klitschko defends his world heavyweight title and knocks out Alex Leapai

Wladimir Klitschko is not an easy opponent for any boxer, but some has criticized his inability to finish fights early. He didn't have that problem in Saturday bout against Australia's Alex Leapai, who he knocked out in the fifth round. The fight was extremely one-sided, but he did what he had to do. Klitschko at 38 years of age, holds the WBA, IBF, WBO and IBO crowns, and he has now gone ten years without defeat, making it a remarkable run.

The Ukrainian seems almost unbeatable, but he's remained humble. After the fight he said "Alex Leapai, I know it was not easy for you but you were up against the best fighter in the world and it was hard. Despite my 38 years I felt superb. I was in top form tonight in the ring." Wladimir has remained calm, but all can see he is still very confident in his ability.

He explained it wasn't an easy training camp for him, saying "I trained long and hard but it was not easy. My mind was back in Ukraine and what is happening there. Politicians must find a compromise and it should not come to a war. Ukraine will not be split up and [must] remain united."

Leapai explained his game plan, saying "I tried to go inside and avoid the jab but it did not work. It's like that when you fight the champion," Leapai said. "Now it's back to the gym. This is not the end of the road and I will come back."

Will Leapai get another chance, and more importantly is there anybody in the heavyweight division that can beat Wladimir Klitschko?
