Klitschko vs. Chisora Results: Vitali Klitschko's Dominance Reaches New Pinnacle

So, Vitali Klitschko won another fight on Saturday.

That in and of itself is nothing out of the ordinary. Klitschko hasn't been defeated since he lost to Lennox Lewis way back in 2003. He's done more than enough to establish himself as one of the most dominant heavyweights in boxing history, even if the competition has been a little lacking.

To his credit, Dereck Chisora gave Klitschko a good fight. The 28-year-old Brit did everything in his power to motivate Klitschko to pound him into smithereens, but Chisora held his own with an aggressive attack that made it very difficult for Klitschko to gain an advantage.

But Chisora's attack wasn't the only reason Klitschko was made to look human (or at least, more human than usual). It turns out Klitschko fought the bulk of the fight with just one good arm.

According to Dan Rafael of ESPN.com, Klitschko suffered a torn ligament in his left shoulder in the third round of Saturday's bout. The injury pretty much rendered him incapable of using his left hand against Chisora. That meant Klitschko wasn't able to jab with any kind of effectiveness, leaving him no choice but to defeat Chisora with his right hand alone.

He won anyway.

You really can't overstate just how impressive that is. It would be one thing if Chisora was hanging back and making things too easy for the wounded Klitschko, but he wasn't. He was attacking Klitschko virtually the whole fight, gunning for the eighth-round knockout he had predicted. Against a lesser fighter, Chisora probably would have gotten that KO, or at least landed enough blows to earn a decision victory after 12 rounds.

Klitschko is no "lesser fighter," of course, but even he could have lost this fight. He was able to avoid losing through his resourcefulness and sheer force of will. With his left arm out of commission, Klitschko resorted to countering Chisora's attack with a variety of punches from his right hand. It wasn't pretty, but it was obviously pretty effective.

Plus, keep in mind that we're talking about a 40-year-old boxer fending off an energetic and slightly maniacal 28-year-old boxer. You'll have to pardon me for repeating myself, but that's impressive.

In a nutshell, what Klitschko showed us is that there's really nothing he can't do. It's something we've know for quite a while at this point, but Klitschko found a new way to prove the point in his defeat of Chisora.

It's okay to accuse Klitschko of being a boring fighter, but let it never be said that he's not a great fighter. Anybody who argues that point clearly hasn't been watching.
