Jefferson: "It's a good day to die!"
by Richard K. Redling

Derrick Jefferson, describing himself as the "most dangerous heavyweight on the planet," said he will win the WBO title on Saturday and it will be "a good day to die" for champion Wladimir Klitschko. WBO #10 Jefferson challenges Klitschko in Munich, Germany on HBO. Klitschko said he will make it a quick first defense.

"You shouldn't miss just one second. You will see something you have never seen" stated the 24-year-old Ukranian champion. Klitschko's trainer Fritz Sdunek said: "The bout will not last more than ten rounds. We have seen Jefferson has enormous stamina problems."

LPS5: All respect to Klitschko, I'm still taking Jefferson.
