To put it nicely, if today's fight is even remotely good, entertaining, or competitive, then it's going to be a surprise. This is terrible matchmaking that speaks ill of Klitschko, trainer Emanuel Steward, manager Bernd Boente, and K2 Promotions on the whole. This is an insult to the audience's intelligence, or at least should be. This is worse than when David Haye dug up Audley Harrison, and somehow UK fight fans were disappointed that the fight was a piece of crap. They felt "ripped off," when any fool could have told them it was a farce from the word "go." But nobody listens. People are barely aware of when fights are happening for the most part. And I mean "boxing fans" when I say that.

Anyway, since Klitschko is smarter than Haye, and I guess by reputation German fans are more accepting of "excellence" displayed against inferiors, this probably won't meet the horrible reaction of Haye vs Harrison. But it should. If the German fans were more concerned with competition, they'd throw tomatoes at this fight upon its conclusion.

Let's just hope that Wladimir doesn't further insult everyone by cautiously dragging this out for 12 rounds.
