Klitschko vs. Gomez Weigh-In - Juan: Ill Beat Dr. Wimp

Both heavyweights have weighed-in for their heavyweight clash tomorrow night in Stuttgart, Germany. Heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko defends his WBC title against mandatory Juan Carlos Gomez.

Despite all of the pre-fight bad blood, the weigh-in was rather calm. Klitschko weighed in at 249 pounds, while Gomez came in at 230 pounds. Klitschko promised a beating to his former stablemate. The two fighters used to fight under the Universum promotional banner, shared the same trainer and sparred often.

"I like Juan a lot. He's a real nice guy and a good buddy of mine," Klitschko said. "It's a real pity that I now have to beat him up."

Gomez, a former cruiserweight champion, vowed to outbox and "destroy" Klitschko.

"I'll toy with 'Dr. Wimp' in such a way and I'll outbox him that there won't be two opinions about the outcome: 'The Black Panther' will be world champion again," Gomez said.
