Vitali Klitschko vs. Kevin Johnson: RBR and discussion thread

[The Hammer]

HBO version coming up!

They should have had it on first - it's midnight in the Eastern US.

johnson is NASTY, totally dominating klitko. Anyone else catching this?

[The Hammer]

Vitali is not throwing the right with any conviction.

Is he injured?

lmao, KJ is ******ed

That was sarcasm right? He didn't do anything with his offense, the only thing dominating was his boring defense. He fought a defensive style kind of boxing because he was afraid to engage in an actual boxing match.

I couldn't believe the punch stats. Johnson only landed 5 power punches in the entire fight!

Vitali threw over 1000 punches, that's a LOT for a heavyweight.

pathetic display by both!

carnivoreyou know people are going to start picking on you if you start spinning it. o'rielly.

I think we are all missing the point Johnson shouldnt have be able to go 12 he should been banged out!!! thats for sure...

vitali is pushing 39 years old. lets be realistic here. he clearly doesnt have as much snap as he did when he was younger. its to be expected. he's still damn hard to beat tho. johnson made this fight ugly

Give me a break man, you're not being honest.

Vitali didn't have a great connect % true but Johnson does have a good defense and alot of upperbody movement, impressivly so actually. (that is the only thing impressive about him)

Even when a guy like Calzaghe or Diaz throw 1000+ punches it's impressive. You're saying a heavyweight, a giant heavyweight, throwing 1000+ punches isn't ****ing impressive?

Also it's not like he doesn't do this on a regular basis. He had over 800 vs Arreola and had it gone 12 he would have been in the same neighbourhood.

Fact is Johnson didn't want to engage and had a difficult and very capable defense. It's going to be hard to look great against that no matter who you are.

Stop hating.
