This was the first defense of his heavyweight titles within the United States since 2008. The fight was much closer than the scores indicated as Klitschko never gained a significant upper hand in any particular round despite that Jennings was not considered a serious contender going into the fight. In fact Jennings has only been boxing for 6 years!!! It sure calls into question the skill-set (and longevity) of Klitschko who just turned 39.
Klitschko was warned 7 times in the first 3 rounds for holding, pushing, back-handing and clinching.
Mediocre boxer at best. When he and Floyd are gone (and it's coming close now, maybe a year more of their repulsive stench stinking up the arenas time after time) the sport of boxing will have a chance to recover.
