http://sports.espn.go.com/sports/boxing/news/story?id=4576299 Does Johnson have any chance here? I don't know much about him. I can't believe a guy with that size/shape has no power, according to his record.
If it's a Klitschko fight there will be coverage. and Johnson is going to get obliterated. can't blame him for taking the fight though.
ESPN Classic would be great. I have not heard of Integrated Sports PPV....is that available for DISH subscribers?
Yeah, i like that too. Johnson is not really that proven, but he's a prospect, and let's not forget that all of three last Klitschko's opponents were ranked in the top5 - Peter, Gomez and Arreola. Most champs take an easy defence after one top5 opponent. Vitali probably knows that the candle burns on both ends for him, so he wants to make most of his time.
It's a crummy opponent, I have never been convinced by Johnson and when the highlight of your entire career is a stoppage win over a 41-year-old Bruce Seldon that's a pretty damn thin resume. No top contenders beaten, no shock upsets, no big knockouts, no technical masterclasses, no amateur glory...just enough wins in a row to get noticed. But it's a ranked opponent, and I really don't blame Vitali one bit. Credit to him for keeping active and fighting a ranked guy. If Johnson wins I'll eat my hat. Hell, if he wins a round I'll eat my hat. I don't even own a hat but I'd make a special point of buying one just to eat it. I remember Johnson making a big stink about Haye getting into title contention but not fighting what Johnson considered to be top contenders. I expect Kingpin will keep his trap shut on this one.
I would assume so it is the same thing that the Valuev/Haye fight will be on in the US so if you can see that on your guide you will be able to purchase it. I have Direct TV and can get it. :good
