Ukrainian Vitali Klitschko tries to cement his stature as the heir apparent to Lennox Lewis when he faces Corrie Sanders on Saturday for the vacant WBC heavyweight championship. Klitschko (33-2, 32KOs) will also being trying to avenge his younger brother's devastating knockout defeat to Sanders who enters Saturday's fight as the decisive underdog ...
I've always been into boxing - just haven't been real excited about the heavyweights in the last several years...

I was going to post something about the fight, but I figured that nobody would really care too much about it.
I'm actually looking forward to tonight's fight. I believe this is considered the true, World Heavyweight Title, rather than simply a belt.
I have a bit more faith in Vitali than I do Wladimir. After seeing Vitali take those punches from Lewis in the 5th round of their fight, I think Vitali can take a punch. Sanders does have some power and is a southpaw, so I think he'll give Klitschko problems.
On edit- Although, I have to say that whomever wins this fight could end up ranking as one of the weakest champions in Heavyweight history.
