Who would have ever thought that I would have a post about boxing?
But, then again, who would have ever thought that I would be living in Kyiv, Ukraine?
Well, Vladimir Klitchko (one of the “Klitchko boys,” as we lovingly call them) faced a Russian last night in Madison Square Garden. This bout was billed as a unification fight — pitting champions against other champions and attempting to create one real World Champion.
This fight gives Mr. Klitchko his third belt.
Just in case you like visuals, here’s a picture.
So, three cheers for Ukraine! Budma, Hey!
I love my life. I am living in Ukraine with my best friend (my hubby) and I have the privilege of visiting hospitalized children who are HIV+. Some are orphans; some have families. All need attention.
*grin*
Klitchko is probably the ONLY boxer(s) I know by name!
Alright! And to think that I’ve seen him with my own two eyes… I feel pretty special. Haha.
Good to hear, glad he is continuing his winning ways.
TulipGirl: Yeah. Totally understand. Well, at least CURRENT boxers. I did know some of the older guys, back in the day. I just didn’t like to watch boxing except during the Olympics — I liked that rounds were 3 minutes, they wore protective head gear, and the ref called the match before someone got too beat up.
Anna: You are special ANYWAY! Miss you.
And to think that I got up at 4am not one but TWO days in a row
Actually a pretty boring fight… could have been a KO in his younger days BUT now I can say I’ve seen him fight live and not just a taped replay.
I DID find it amussing that both guys trainers spoke in english so while Kolya had to settle for the vodka advertisments I read lips and listened to the english.
4 lanuguages for Mr.Klitchko…. as a boxer… not too shabby! Maybe I should take up boxing, haha
Jeanne: Imagine that…an educated boxer! Apparently didn’t spend ALL of his time in the gym! Glad you were able to watch him “live” with Kolya — maybe one day you’ll even see him box in person!
When does klitchko fight the Russian dude? I hope Klitchko beat up up in and knocks him out in the 3 round.
That’s Dr. Klitchko not Mr.
Two brothers,total support for one another,unlimited love from both, I love both of you.
