[NWOWolfpack]

Vitali Klitschko has defeated Polish challenger Tomasz Adamek by technical knockout to retain his WBC heavyweight title Saturday.

Italian referee Massimo Barrovecchio stepped in 2 minutes, 20 seconds into the 10th round to stop Klitschko from handing out any more punishment to the 34-year-old Adamek after an utterly dominant performance by the Ukrainian.

The 40-year-old Klitschko was six inches taller than his opponent and used his size advantage to have Adamek staggering back in the second, sixth and ninth rounds.

Klitschko slipped in the eighth, but carried on where he left off in the ninth and 10th to improve his record to 43-2, including 40 knockouts.

Adamek drops to 44-2.
