W. Klitschko stops Thompson in 11
Wladimir Klitschko stopped former sparring partner Tony Thompson with a right hand in the 11th round yesterday in Berlin to defend his heavyweight titles. Klitschko (51-3, 45 knockouts) turned boos to cheers as the American went to the canvas 1:38 into the round. Klitschko, who holds the International Boxing Federation and minor World Boxing Organization and International Boxing Organization titles, won his ninth straight bout, surviving a second-round head butt that left both fighters bloody. Thompson (31-2, 19 knockouts) saw his unbeaten streak dating to 2000 stopped.
