Vitali K. vs. Kevin Johnson in Dcember...how quickly will Vitali knock him out?

[acts238shaun]

He's 6'3" with reach longer than Vitali's and his only decent punch is a jab. He hits like a MW and on top of that he is overweight by about 40lbs. If he lost all that weight he might have a hope, but I don't think he will last past the 4th. Johnson's a chump with little experience in the ring and an undefeated record who will be built up going into the fight and destroyed when he gets in with Vitali.

I saw him fight on FNF a few months back and I wasn't impressed in the least. This one shouldn't go too long. I'll say he gets dropped in the 3rd.

The bigger question: Why should anyone even care about this fight? I love boxing, and I don't care about this bout. Pretty sad commentary on the pathetic state of the heavyweight division.

All the good action is at super middleweight and lighter. The Super Six tournament starting in October will be fantastic. Ward vs. Kessler would be a hell of a championship bout in that tournament, and it's the opener!

Maybe Dawson-Johnson II will be a good fight, though. Too bad BHop and Adamek couldn't agree on terms. That would be a solid fight among bigger men.

But heavyweights? Why bother? It's the most boring, lifeless division in boxing today, hands down.

Take care,
PK

I agree...I posted something about American boxing, I think it could be a part of the answer.

Yeah, the HW division is sooo weak. I like the Super 6 tourney. BTW, the Chad Dawson-Glen Johnson fight should be a good fight. I thought Johnson won the first fight and I thought he may have ruin Chad Dawson in the process. Chad took a lot of punches in that fight. I hope the 2nd fight is as good as the first one but Dawson may run all night. Frankly, I don't blame him if he does.

Vitali just fought this weekend, your telling me they setup another fight that quick.

Isn't Kevin Johnson the guy with 20+ fights and like 9 or less KOs? If this fight does exist, who cares? He loses inside of 7 rounds.

That's him ^^^

There were talks of scheduling this before the Arreola fight. It was leaked Friday.

I believe it will be a better chess match than some of you all think. I believe his jab is pretty good and that right there will be his bread and butter. If he can get Vitali Klitschko to respect his power (a big if), I can picture him winning a decision if he can Klitschko miss (a big if).

I believe it will be a good test for Vitali.

Its a mandatory. He has to fight him or be stripped of his belt. ****ing sanctioning bodies. Stuff like this is why people (including me) gravitate to the UFC.
