Apart from the cut. if you look at Johnsons left arm, he folds it across his midsection at times like he had a towel over it, waiter style. I think he is hurt to the body by the right hands to the gut, and is wary of them.
Round 9 Vitali. First round where I think you could say Vitali outboxed the guy, actually making him fall short and come back with his own stuff. Johnson is spoiling and is prolly plotting a late assault.
Johnson needs to get added to the list alongside Dirrell, of hideous fighters that shouldn't be shown on TV anymore.
Vitalis right to the midsection is, as Nacho Beristain might say, a veritable "pincho puta madre"...its hurt KJ more than any other shot tonight.
i really thought johnson was trying to tire vitali out but he has done fuck all. and now i dont understand what johnson is trying to achieve? although i dont think he is to blame so much. this is the product of a champion fighting shitty mandatories. if john was even a mand.
MWS is right... Arreola at least tried, Johnson is a fucking spoiler... Klitchko is downer too though... The last exciting fight he had was the Sanders fight I think .
Maybe :: Even that is somehow more plausible than the plan of "Hey! I know, I'll do absolutely fuck all in my first title challenge, for no reason at all! I'm a nihilist! :bears:".
:::::: People who follow the sport will be recognising the signs....Johnson aint so smug no more. Crap fight, but Vitali has tried to make it every step of the way, while puppet-on-a-string has bobbed around like an apple in water and no longer has the energy to mock Vitali. Suddenly, Kevin doesn't feel so alive.
What the fuck is Johnson running his mouth about? It's not like the worst effort ever, but it would be generous to give him a round.
Nobody Klitchko fights can do something against him nowadays. That's why he's a downer, not really his fault but you don't feel anything can happen in his fights. He's not a concussive puncher but he uses his reach so well that his opponents become defenseless. So no Ko, no drama, just regular pounding at the same pace.
Seeing Johnson taunting after that shitty showing is almost on par with watching Freitas celebrate his quitting.:shit::shit::shit:
:::: Johnson is a punk. That was pretty funny, though. He kept himself relevant just through sheer annoyance.
Ok, Johnson needs a KO.....and Vitali beats him up for 3 minutes. I dont know what Johnsons issue is, he has never been in the fight, tried to get inside Vitalis head and failed, so...I mean, he should be more gracious.
That's true but tonight specifically, you have to give Vitali credit. He was actually being pretty aggressive in almost every round. He didn't have to, Johnson was the challenger, Vitali could have just thought fuck it, I'll let him come to me. It was 100% Johnson's fault, he is like a big fat Dirrell.
If this was 15 rounds, Johnson was out of there. He likes to spoil, has an A+ jab and a B+ Defense, and still was getting broken down. Somehow, David Haye thinks this is proof that he can beat Vitali.:atu:
