I'm not a pretty big fan of the heavyweight scene. Since Tyson's days were numbered, I just lost interest and moved to the lower weight classes. Then came the Klitschko Brothers. Now these behemoths have single handedly dominated the heavyweight boxing scene with such ridiculous power, I honestly thought no one could topple them, or is there? Saturday sees Kevin Johnson take on Vitali for the WBC Heavyweight title. So can Johnson finally end the reign of the Ukrainian powerhouse, or will he end up on a wall, along with everyone else who has dared to face DR. Iron Fist?Lets give credit to Kevin for his guts in taking this fight. Not many fighters would want to go head to head with Vitali so bravo to Kevin for your courage, you got balls man! I'll also side with him on speed as I think he is the niftier of the two and has quick punch combos going on. He is also the younger guy but thats where it all ends. Vitali is superior in strength, power, stamina, vision, wisdom, technique, skills and has experience. What the hell were you thinking Kevin? I mean this is an absolute no-brainer. Before you say "wait a minute maybe we are about to see an upset victory here" let me bring you back to reality. Johnson has never faced a fighter with the qualities that Vitali possess let alone trying to beat him. The question for this fight should be "how long can Kevin last" and not "can he pull an upset".
I see him starting fast though, weaving in and out trying to outbox Vitaly, and get some power shots in. That will eventually fail and the Ukrainian monster will then dish out a murder-esque beating on Johnson and test the referee's resolve on when he will finally stop the fight
Prediction
I see Vitaliy powering himself to a successful defense of his world title with a KO in the 8th or 9th
