    Well we are about to find out if Kevin Johnson is the real deal or not. I really hope he is, we need a big American name to get the heavyweight division back in the limelight where it belongs. Johnson is just that guy, if he wins this he will be a sensation in the States as he is unbeaten.

    I can't see it though.

    Johnson did deck Klit apparently when Klit was training for his Rahman fight (2005), and gave him many problems so he may well have his moments. He has speedy hands for a big man, but I think Klit will stay a step ahead, as per ususal. Late TKO win for Klit.

    johnson still seems confident enough anyway, even if he is spending most of the fight on the ropes.

    johnson should stop telling klitschko his punches don't hurt and actually throw some of his own


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,784 ✭✭✭Dirk Gently


    why? he's obviously willing to sacrifice rounds, encourage Klitchsko forward and wait for his opening.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 94 ✭✭Brad Goodman


    9 ko's in 23 fights is why... he's not going to knock vitali out... he had to out box him... which he isn't at the mo

    I'd vote this fight worst of the year if I hadn't watched Valuev fighting this year.

    +1 This is muck, at least the Valuev one was slightly interesting tactically.

    Hey guys did anyone see the undercard fights? Did Monte Barrett win?

    nah he lost on points... it was stinker of a fight


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 94 ✭✭Brad Goodman


    awful awful stuff... johnson just looking to go the distance... he showed more fighting spirit after the final bell than during the previous 12 rounds


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,841 ✭✭✭Running Bing


    Holy sh1t the HW division is dead and gone....I mean is there even any point in watching these fights anymore?


    Haye is a slight glimmer of hope but I can seen one of the Klitchko's easily beating him and then we'll go right back to large flat footed men throwing punches in slow motion (having said that Haye-Valuev didnt exactly set the pulse going either).


    Depressing stuff.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 237 ✭✭docmartin

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,692 ✭✭✭Jarren
