During a steel cage match in Green Bay, Wisconsin, Barack Obama (left) hit back at rival Hillary Clinton on Saturday, drawing blood below Senator Clinton's right, before a Wisconsin showdown next Tuesday in their Democratic presidential Battle of the Democratic Gladiators.
Obama, an Illinois senator with a slight frame, has womped Clinton in the last eight state bouts, driving uppercut after uppercut in their fight to become the Democratic presidential nominee in the November 2008 election.
Obama has spent four days in Wisconsin working out on weights since his last round of victories last Tuesday, while Clinton has focused on March 4 votes in Ohio and Texas hoping more cardiovascular training will lead to victories there and will rejuvenate her weary body.
According to sources close to Obama, Obama has been bench pressing about 300 pounds while sources close to Clinton have noted a dramatic increase in her stamina - both crucial developments in this long awaited African-American Men versus White Women clash of the titans.
Clinton, under pressure to slow Obama's momentum, has emphasized her economic message in an appeal to middle- and lower-income voters.
Tauntnig Obama from her corner in Ohio between the 6th and 7th rounds, Clinton shouted, "It is time we had a president who was a fighter, a doer and a champion." From his corner in Wisconsin, Obama retorted, "I got your champion right here...and here!"
Both fighters are expected to go the distance in this classic battle. However, the current over/under in Wisconsin favors Obama by 5 points.
