Kirk Johnson

[Benncollinsaad]

What's with this guy? He was supposed to fight in april, then it got cancelled. Then this guy told me he is gonna fight in july, but I haven't heard of that happening yet. Its a shame he lost focus because he really looked like a strong contender back in the early 00's. What a ****** thing to do, show up 40 pounds heavier against Vitali, the most important fight of his life.

Hes a bum in the 90s he would be bar fighter status.

I remember that fight, he really got destroyed

[The Hammer]

Vitali took his soul in that fight...

Kirk is from my hometown. He lost his desire for the sport even before the Vitali fight. Just look at his weight going in. After that he fought again but injured his knee and disappeared.

It is a shame because he was talented. He just made some decent money before Vitali, partied it up and lost his will. The Vitali fight just cemented where he was at.

he did not take his soul! LOL! He was 40 pounds overweight.you being Canadian I thought you might have followed his career.he had a very long battle with nova scotia police over human rights! There is serious racial differences in certain areas of that province.he was in & out of trial & I believe he won his case.he was mentally destroyed by that unfortunate situation & he was broke & needed the klitschko fight $$$$.he never trained & collected the check.he tried to comeback but got hurt fighting mora or bates(I can't remember).vitali had nothing to do with it!

Had potential early in his career, but obviously lacked discipline and paid the price.
