Vitali Klitschko is the heavyweight version of Floyd Mayweather. No way Johnson stands a chance but I'm very glad he seems to think he does. It will make for an exciting fight while it lasts.

He is, actually! I used to try and pigeonhole his style as clumsy and unskilled, but I was completely off the mark. I'll admit it - I had him all wrong. The guy knows exactly what he's doing when he hangs his arms low and moves back from any punches coming at him. It can be frustrating to watch, but it works perfectly.
So unless one has extremely fast hands like Sanders, he's damn near impossible to hit cleanly. His footwork is flat and looks goofy, but he's constantly moving around and getting out of the way. He makes his opponent miss and subsequently leave themselves open to one of his deadly accurate shots which come from all angles.
What the VitMan does is not pretty, but it's art. He's a very clever boxer, and I now know what exactly I'm supposed to appreciate out there. It just took a little while, but I got there.
Voluntary defence, and Vitali chose an undefeated American prospect. He's a nice guy like that.Comment

Kevin Johnson should do what Julius Francis done for his fight against Mike Tyson and get a sponsor for the soles of his shoes...because we'll be seeing them when Johnson is flat out on the canvas!

I always have thought vitali fights like roy jones. Against arreola he would have his left hand on his thigh setting up that hanging right hand. He even stands completely still just like roy used to do. Its uncanny to me. Its impressive vitali can pull that of in the heavyweightsComment

Vitaly's boxing is so unorthodox he actually developed a new style. I will call it the drunk lumberjack boxing.Comment
