Johnson: Vitali an ugly zombie
Heavyweight title challenger Kevin Johnson is showing WBC heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko no respect in advance of their clash Saturday night in Bern, Switzerland. “He’s a joke,” said Johnson, “he’s a dream opponent, he’s a big, ugly zombie….Klitschko can’t do half of what I can do – either physically or mentally. F— that guy. I’ll leave him behind me. This fight is easy!” Klitschko, who stopped Chris Arreola in ten rounds three months ago in Los Angeles, promised to do better against Johnson. “It’ll be a classic KO,” he said
Yeah, we'll see...

Dwyer points out some of Vitali's strengths in this video which I agree with. Also, Vitali took a 4 year retirement from boxing, and has taken very good care of his health (he's a doctor, after all) so his physical condition is well above average for a boxer of his age.
Johnson has that earmuff defense like Winky, its gonna be interesting to see how long he can keep his hands up like that as Vitali pounds through his guard.
Not long.
Fightin power punchers guys need to duck, weave, avoid contact altogether. Just puttin your hands up to block gets you nothin but a beatdown, sumtimes cuts from your own laces gettin pounded into your face. Johnson is gettin blasted in this fight.
Vitali by Manslaughter in under 5! Johnson is another "Big Six" Estrada, heavyweight boxer with NO POP! Please if Big Mex couldn't do shit to Vitali what chance you got!?
johnson is taking a leaf out of hayes book
personally i think this fight is too much too soon for johnson. when klit is finished with johnson hes gonna look like hell
