Event Summary

SAT OCT 11 9PM ET/PT

The 37-year-old heavyweight, Vitali Klitschko regained his WBC title with a marvelous eighth-round TKO over Samuel Peter, televised on tape delay from the O2 World Arena in Berlin, Germany.

It wasn't much of a contest as Klitschko fought tall and used his precise left jab to keep Peter from closing the distance. His consistent jab, along with stiff over hand rights proved too much for Peter. Behind on all cards, Peter quit on his stool after the eighth.

Klitschko's victory marked the first time the boxing world has seen two brothers hold heavyweight titles simultaneously. Klitschko's younger brother, Wladimir, is the IBF and WBO heavyweight world champion.

In the second world championship fight on SHOWTIME, it was out with the old and in with the new as "Bad" Chad Dawson won a 12-round unanimous decision against the veteran Antonio Tarver, live at The Pearl Theater at The Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas.
