Does Kevin Johnson has a chance vs Vitali?

[gest12645]

I'm glad Vitali took this fight just cause he'll expose the guy.. I'd rather see John Ruiz fight a Klitschko tough. It would be more interesting

[Cleon]

He has no power and has NEVER been hit with anything like what Vitali can bring.

True

Johnson is overrated and can anyone tell me how he's in the ring magazine top 10?

Who else is there really

EXACTLY! Johnson is ridiculously overrated, he hasn't beaten anyone good. I think Arreola was way more dangerous.

1 guy out of 40 has lasted the distance vs Vitali and Vitali has only lost 2 times because of INJURY. Johnson has little to no chance

You could say the same about Arreola
I agree though that Kingpin has little chance

[CutMeMick]

His chances are worst then Arreolas IMO.

I actually think he has a much better shot then Arreola. He has a pretty good jab but he's lazy, he stops moving his feet a lot in fights and starts trying to be James Toney slipping shots. He was good against Vargas, I don't know he has a better chance of being able to box off the backfoot against Vitali but I don't know if his defense holds up. I will still root for him even though when he talks I cringe.

I agree
He talks, now we want to see if he can walk

[El Kabong]

Yes! At least Cris had power....Kevin is going into battle with a pee shooter vs Vitali who is just going to shell the crap out of Johnson with power punches.

Johnson ain't Chris Byrd and he ain't Lennox Lewis AND he doesn't have a shot in hell

[Cleon]

Yep
Knife to a gun fight situation
Still think he does better than Mr Nipples

[Rantcatrat]

I agree.

[The Fightfan]

Less than a week for this one. Anyone think Johnson can pull this out?

[Mar]

Anything is possible i gave dougless no shot against tyson and we see how that went. Being overlooked is johnsons best chance......and he's definatly being overlooked.

[Nameless]

I might be wrong but I think he'll end flat on the canvas before the 8th. Game over.

[El Kabong]

Johnson said in the press conference that on his best day "only two fighters all time Ali and Holmes could beat him"

EARTH TO KEVIN!!! COME IN KEVIN!!!

Man he's going to get the shit slapped out of him talking like that, Vitali said "Just go ahead and hand over 10% of your purse so I can pay your hospital bills"...Vitali doesn't usually talk smack but with someone as full of himself as Johnson is I think Vitali will take great joy in bringing Johnson back to reality

[Spicoli]

I think Johnsons hand speed will surprise Vitali big time....he'll land quite a bit early and can get Vitali turning badly on his frankenlegs but Johnsons confidence/arrogance may eventually get him pounded like a huge shiny nail

[Majesty]

I don't think a fighter would need bone crunching power in order to beat Vitali. The answer to everything isnt having power. Johnson has a better chance then Arreola. Arreola has power but is very limited as a fighter. Johnson atl east has more boxing skill and a consistant jab. Arreola was reduced to just rushing in until he was held and then body shotting.

I really want to see if the ref is gonna warn Vitali for all the holding in this fight. I really don't wanna see a clinch fest till the ref seperates and Vitali pot shotting at a distance till it comes close again

[El Kabong]

...are you sure you don't have your Klitschko's confused??

Kevin Johnson hasn't done much, his biggest fights are Devin Vargas and Bruce Seldon and that earned him a title shot??...I don't even know if Johnson has fought anyone bigger than he is.
