    An excerp from Yahoo Sports.........


    Klitschko threw relatively few jabs, a punch with which he normally sets up his big right. The obvious question was whether he injured his left hand either before or during the fight.

    He spoke cryptically about it immediately afteward.


    “I fought with my right hand,” he said. “I’m not ready to talk about it. It’s not excuses because I really wanted to knock him out very much.”
    Without a consistent jab, Klitschko controlled the fight with his busy and hard right, which he landed consistently even if he never seriously hurt Chisora.


    Klitschko seemed to be frustrated in spite of the victory.
    “It was not a perfect performance,” he said. “… I fought against him just with a right hand. But, anyway, it was a good performance from Chisora. He had good movement. It’s very difficult to hit him.”

    He went on: “I saw every punch from Chisora. He’s a little bit slow. If Chisora was much faster, then I might’ve had a problem. I saw almost every punch.”

    Chisora kind of got into his head. Vitali won on pure talent alone, not by tactics.
