In a crossroads battle, former WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitshko won an unsatisfying five-round split technical decision over DaVarryl Williamson Saturday at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. After three tactical rounds where Klitschko pressed the action, Williamson dropped Klitschko in the fourth. Wladimir, however, quickly regained his feet and fought back hard in the second half of the round. In round five, Klitschko received a vertical gash on the forehead from an unintentional headbutt and due to that cut the bout was sent to the cards after the round. Scores were 49-46, 49-46 for Klitschko, 48-47 Williamson. Doctor Margaret Goodman stated the cut was down to the bone.
WINNER = 13 - DENNIS ZELLER!!
