    Ya, but it was picking up in intensity the last 2 rounds. Vitali seemed to be starting to sit on his punches more...getting ready to take him out.

    Any updates on this fight...such as TV coverage for US?

    I had read something about HBO a couple weeks back...but we are a little more than 3 weeks away from the fight date, and I haven't heard anything else.


    From Dan Rafael - ESPN.com, Nov. 6th
    "When Vitali Klitschko (38-2, 37 KOs) defended his heavyweight title Sept. 26 via 10th-round knockout of American Cristobal Arreola, the fight generated HBO's best boxing rating of the year, a 4.8 for the live broadcast, which translates to approximately 2.1 million viewers (and doesn't include an additional 940,000 viewers who watched replays in the following days). So it should come as no surprise that HBO is interested in picking up U.S. coverage of Klitschko's defense against another American, Kevin Johnson (22-0-1, 9 KOs), whom he faces Dec. 12 in Bern, Switzerland. HBO Sports president Ross Greenburg told ESPN.com that he and Klitschko adviser Shelly Finkel are working on a deal for the fight. "We're in negotiations, and we hope to come to a resolution," Greenburg said. If it gets done, it would turn HBO's Dec. 12 card into a split-site tripleheader with the heavyweight bout on same-day tape along with live coverage of the Juan Diaz-Paulie Malignaggi rematch and Victor Ortiz-Antonio Diaz from Chicago. "We're looking at this as an extra bonus for the subscriber," Greenburg said of the heavyweight fight."

    David Gaye did not want to fight Kevin Johnson so that for me it means that the guy is good. If he were a bad fighter, Gaye would fight him.

    I agree. I think the Klitchko's are good but they are so much bigger than everyone they fight.

    Definitely better overall competition but who did Lewis fight that was a better puncher than Lewis? Because, you know, Vitali fought Lewis...Also Sanders, Hide, Arreola and Peter all make up a good list of punchers.

    Valuev is huge, Julius Long is a 7 footer, Tye Fields is big. I'm sure you understand where I'm going with this....it takes a lot more than being big to make a great fighter.
