IMO Johnson will give more trouble to Vitali than Arreola because of four words...

    "Big guy with jab".

    Spells trouble for most superHW's. A lot of guys, Vitali included, have trouble getting into their rhythm when another big guy can jab with them.

    I don't think Johnson will win at all, but I think his jab (which is tremendous considering) will definitely bother Vitali for a few rounds.

    Couldnt agree more , Johnson has the style to give Vitali problems for a bit . cant see it being enough to stop Vitali eventaully getting to him though,

    but that said the longer he makes the fight the better Vitali aint a kid anymore and he has to start stuggling at some point.

    Tony Thompson has a great jab and is 2 inches taller with the same reach as Johnson, and also had fought much higher level competition, and Wladimir housed him the whole fight until putting him away late.

    I don't see that it will cause Vitali much in the way of difficulty, to be honest. Vitali has great movement and a very awkward, leaning back stance that will make Johnson work to land a jab. Meanwhile Vitali will probably be catching Johnson on the way in with his jab in the early rounds, which will eventually turn from a jab/straight right into a left hook/straight right combination. He does that, and it makes me chuckle. Halfway through a fight he doesn't even bother with the jab anymore. His jab is a hook.

    Vitali TKO 8.

    I probably would too, and I'm 6'4" and have an awesome jab. By far my best punch.

    :lol:

    According to the VITLAY fans, Johnson is feather fisted. If history tells us anything then surely that means there's a very real chance of a VITLAY quittage in this fight?

    He does , but Vitali also has a distaste for getting hit , he would rather be patient than walk through a guy , thats why I feel Johnson style will at least keep Klitschko from just walking through him.

    it will most likely only be delaying the invetible though !

    Dont know much about Johnson. Does he have Athletic ability?

    That is the only Fighter that will be a Klit an athletic one. Lewis Came in Fat Overweight undertrained and Flat Footed and Barely pulled it off, Dont know who the Hell he think he is not training and Fighting but he almost took that L
