    ....Johnson didn't have a scratch on him after the fight.....Big Vit on the other hand was marked up on both eyes.....yes Vitali won the rounds, but KJ didn't take no SERIOUS punishment at all......he fought too much like a ***** IMO plus Vitali didn't look so sharp either.....he looked like David Haye would've beat him tonight......serious, Vitali is better than the performance he displayed tonight......the 12th round was comical tho'

      Larry, fight was horrible. Vitali did what he had to do, Kevin had a good defense but nothing else. Vitali did look old though, and against defensive fighters his punches didn't look like they had any sting.

      Against a counter puncher he might be more vulnerable in the same situation, I think Haye has a better chance than before but Vitali would obviously still be the favorite.

        Johnson had a really good defence and Vitali was struggling to catch him flush.But Johnson was hardly throwing a punch aside from popping a jab out every now and then.

        Overall, Vitali controlled the fight, was constantly marching forward, threw and landed more punches and won every round. IMO a good, performance by Vitali against an awkward American.

          I thought Johnson had a good defense - but he thew nothing and clowned all night. You can never win a championship like that.

          I didn't think Klitschko looked terrible - but he looked really vulnerable to counters. He looked like he was tired the last 5 rounds or so... he was open to getting hit. He was a bit sloppy - and that may have been Johnson's fault - but he is the Champ. People are saying the Kitschkos are all time - not tonight. He was ripe for a left hook or a strait right. Johnson wasn't throwing anything...but Vitali wasn't looking good. If Johnson would have been throwing a few punches maybe it would have been different. Maybe it was a case of Vitali fighting down to his opponent's level - but it was not fun to watch.
          I think there were really low expectation on Johnson - so a lot of the blame goes to Vitali - fair or not. If an "A" class fighter doesn't dominate a B-/C class fighter it does not reflect well on them.

            Daddy Klit did what he had to do. Im watcing it now and Johnson was trying to survive all fight. Its hard to look good against what he was up against...
            Saying that a couple of uppercuts by Klit woulda been good

              Johnson was just there to make a check man. He just didnt wanna get sparked to get out of the ring. 12 rounds of dodging. After 5 rounds i thought he would open up a little and throw but no he just kept jabbing moving back.

              The fight was bad mainly because of johnson. The right hand wouldnt work for vitali because of how johnson was tryin to shoulder roll.

              I have to say that the speed difference in jabs was different in my opinion. Also with the straight rights. But i dont know if its because arreola was just that slow or johnson is just that fast or neither and vitali is slowing. But then again johnson never really did alot to gauge.

              I dont know truly what to take from it now. Just a dud fight

              But ill stick with what i said earlier.
              Vitali' s legs looked old to me. Ill prolly get flamed for that but whatever.
              But maybe even that was due to johnson staying still and dodging. But vitali didnt seem to have the normal spring in his step. A few times he was sluggish from his stool.

              Edit: i would like to know what the workrate difference is. It has to be embarassing
