    Stuttgart, Germany is the site for this second round Doubleheader as the Klitschko brothers are showcased. Wladimir has his hands full with the tough James J. Jefferies. Brother Vitali will be squaring off against tough Canadian Tommy Burns.

    Burns rushes out but is at a big size disadvantage & is taking stiff jabs, while trying to work his way inside. Burns finds some success coming in, but is taking heavy shots in the process. In the fifth a fast right wobbles Burns as he comes inside. Klitschko is careful not to heavily engage with the hard punching Burns. By the ninth round Burns is taking punishment & the referee is looking to stop the bout. Another hard combo, snap's Tommy's head back & the referee has seen enough!

    VITALI KLITSCHKO. 9 TKO. TOMMY BURNS

    Jefferies rushes out and starts throwing bombs. Klitschko moves back & tries to box Jim. In the second Wladimir starts to counter Jefferies & the action heats up! A sharp left hook stuns Klitschko! He moves & survives the round. Now Wladimir sticks & moves, avoiding the big punches of Jefferies. Klitschko find Jefferies somewhat easy to hit. & keeps the action at a distance. By the late rounds Jefferies is showing the effects. Wladimir keeps pounding, but Jefferies is too dangerous & too tough to try for the knockout.

    WLADIMIR KLITSCHKO. 12 DEC. JIM J. JEFFERIES
    117-113 KLITSCHKO. 116-112 KLITSCHKO. 117-114 KLITSCHKO.
