Klitschko-Klitschko
ROUND 6
The fighters meet at center ring and immediately commence throwing bombs. They're trading evenly when Vitali lands a right cross, followed by a double hook to the side of the face.
Each misses with a home-run swing before Wladimir flurries to the body and Vitali connects with a one-two to the head.
A right to the belt line seems to take the wind out of Vitali, allowing Wladimir to follow up with a hard jab to the same spot. Vitali recovers enough to land a left hook at the waistline that causes Wladimir to drop his guard.
Vitali capitalizes immediately, landing a one-two that staggers Wladimir and causes some minor swelling to appear under his right eye -- the first visible wound sustained by either fighter.
Despite Vitali's strong finish, Somogyi sees the round as Wladimir's, giving the younger Klitschko an unofficial 57-55 lead at the fight's midway point.
