Answer
Hi Igor,

Thanks for the question.

I think Vladimir Klitschko will win by a split technical decision over Davarryl Williamson. He'll get knocked down in the fourth round, and there will be  a clash of heads that will cut Kliitschko's brow in round five, causing the bout to be stopped :)

I'm just having fun with you, as obviously the fight took place before I could respond to your queston. I thought Vladimir looked rather shaky though, as if he was lacking in confidence. This is a stark contrast to the smooth combination puncher he used to be before the loss to Corrie Sanders. I hope Klitschko can rebuild his confidence, because if he does, I still think he can be one of the most talented heavyweights out there.

I hope you enjoyed the fight, Igor.
Thanks again for writing!

Regards,
Lian
