Klitschko vs Johnson is Officially Set For 12/12 Says Vitali

[IMDAZED]

Tell me about it. I watched Johnson fight Ron Guerrero in Hartford a few years ago and I was not impressed to say the least. At one point in the fight I actually thought Johnson was losing. Guerrero has a 20-16 record and has lost or been KOed by any notable fighter he has ever faced. Johnson won the fight by wide margin, but was booed by the crowd throughout.

And Johnson is not even ranked as highly as advertised. On boxrec he is ranked #23 overall, behind the likes of Sam Peter, Oleg Maskaev, Hasim Rahman, and Albert Sosnowski.

If anything I would say that Johnson is probably the worst opponent Vitali has fought since the immortal Danny Williams.

Sad thing is, he's worse than Danny Williams.

You're probably right. I don't mind Vitali taking a stay busy fight, but let's at least be honest about it.

Yeah, it's a disappointing opponent. But maybe this guy is just someone who fights down to his opponents level. Sometimes that happens. He does at least seem to have a tough mentality, like he doesn't get fazed much. That sort of quality is a very good one if you're fighting someone like Klitschko. I don't see the point of having a good jab if you're not going to put the pressure on with it though. He needs to go out and attack with the jab.

How can we tell when he's never fought any other level?

That's why I said maybe . We'll soon find out if he has more to offer.

What's happening with your favorite, JC Gomez?

Will he ever fight again, Paul?

I'd say that Kevin Johnson has about as good of a chance as Ricky Hatton does of getting a tan.

WBC heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko has revealed that his next fight has been officially set for December 12 in Bern, Switzerland. As previously reported on BoxingScene.com, Vitali will face undefeated contender Kevin Johnson. It mark the third fight of the year for Klitschko. He stopped mandatory Juan Carlos Gomez in March and then put away Chris Arreola in September. Klitschko said he expects Johnson to be more dangerous than Arreola. [details]

He's probably still out blowing the money he won from the Klitschko bout lol.

Fight again? Who knows. His best years are long gone now.

It'll be another win in the bag for Vitali on Dec 12th...and another knockout to boot...his opponents should save themselves the trouble and just lie down on the canvas from the opening bell
