Comments Thread For: Vitali Klitschko-Kevin Johnson Early Results/Spoilers

[ChopperRead]

i'm a big boxing fan but i don't care about the heavyweight didvision

Too bad because Vitali is an utterly dominant champion. A shutout on two cards, and he was trying for the KO very hard in the last rounds. Johnson acted like a negative ******* the whole night and disgraced himself and his country, who he claimed to represent. America doesn't need representatives like Johnson. He and Wlad almost went at it after the fight, which would have been interesting. At least Arreola tried to beat Vitali -- Johnson quit the minute Vitali stared him down before the fight. You could see the fear in Johnson's eyes.

50-50

On the other hand, he can boast-legitimately- that he is one of only TWO boxers to have ever survived a whole 12 rounds with Vitali Klitschko.

LOL, calm down, calm down

lol, sry. Since everyone was probably beting on Klit by KO, i wonder if Johnson bet all of his money on going to the distance and was just there to survive?

i had it scored 116-112 for vitali...johnson was landing more punches than people realized..he landed alot of jabs to the body and a good amount to the head..and he also landed some good counter right hands..he definatly gave vitali his toughest fight in awhile. give johnson some credit he just fought the best heavyweight in the world..and he never really made a big step up before fighting vitali..so i think the guy did pretty decent job..hes definatly a top 10 heavyweight in my opinion.

Im suprised johnson made it twelve rounds... But i have also been wondering if Vitali's power is fading. He hasnt knocked anyone out since he's come back, yes they have been tko's buts usually from the corner men stopping the fight..

Whats everyones opinion on this, does he have the power he once had or is it fading ????

I still think his power's there. Johnson was rolling and swaying alot, which takes the edge off a shot.

He's still got plenty of power, but his opponents are either quitting on their stools like Peter or refusing to engage like Johnson. He dropped Gomez and made Arreola's face look like raw hamburger because they at least tried to fight. Johnson actually quit in the staredown: there was fear in his eyes and as soon as he got hit he gave up for the night, just trying to survive.

Kevin made it a one ugly fight... Damn... He`s slick...

Personally i`d like to see him fighting Wlad - would be interesting to look at him after 8 rounds of carrying clinching Wlad on his back and than get knocked out by a one-two or the left hook :/

A hollow victory when you listened to what he was supposedly going to do to make "America" proud of their new heavyweight champ all this week. Same old story with the opponents of the K brothers.

It is going to be replayed - watch the first round or two and you get the idea. I couldn't watch that again myself.
