Watch live Online : Tony Thompson vs Wladimir Klitschko

Boxing fans will be able to watch this Saturday’s rematch between IBF/WBA/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko (57-3, 50 KO’s) and Tony Thompson (36-2, 24 KO’s) on the EPIX in the U.S., RTL in Germany and BoxNation in the UK. This could turn out to be an exciting fight if Wladimir decides to let his hands go for a change rather than looking to clinch all night long like he usually does.

Klitschko may not have a problem defeating Thompson again, but the heavyweight champion did tell Boxing Scene that he would prefer to be fighting someone else right now.
" I would rather fight someone that I haven't fought. But I have no choice, I have to defend my titles. I think that to fight Tony Thompson is not an easy job. It's not a vacation fight, it's going to be challenging and tough. If you ask me if I'd rather fight Tony Thompson or someone else, I'd choose the fighter I haven't fought yet. But I have a job to do."

Thompson has already lost to Wladimir in the past four years ago, and he already knows what works and what doesn’t work against the tall 6’6? Ukrainian giant. Thompson can’t let Wladimir land his right hands or his jabs, because he’ll wear you down if he’s able to land his big shots throughout the fight. Thompson needs to keep Wladimir off of him, meaning he can’t let Wladimir clinch after every shot he throws. Wladimir often just clinches for the sake of clinching, and when he does this he tends to lean all of his weight on his opponents.
