    After watching Vitali/Johnson I think it's easy to say...

    Fight of the year? or fight of the century? War Johnson! A defensive beast!

    Vitali was open to so many counters, it's just that Johnson was so inactive, and out of shape, and he's still too green.

      This was the best chance for Johnson, the worst Vitali he could get, and he didn't do ****.

          He didnt have to reach to catch Vitali, and if he had he wasnt strong enough to do anything. Comical fight.

              Great defensive game plan by Johnson, that head movement reminded me of Chris Byrd. He had little firepower to offer, but he seemed to really annoy Vitali. Funny ending with Wladimir jumping in there.

                Nothing from Johnson what so ever, no combinations, no attempt to try and pile on the pressure.

                Vitali just picked away at him all night.

                  I can see why he thought he was going to win. Just didnt have the reach to execute his gameplan, which was obviously be defensive and potshot his was to a decision.

                  I like to see him fight Chris.

                    Clearly Vitali is slowing down now, very soon hes belt will go to somebody, but who? It needs to have resonable speed and should have a power punch, and most of all has a footwork that could go near to him to deliver power punch.
