Kirk Johnson came out "guns blazing" against Vitali and he didn't look good

    The only notable wins he had were over Maskaev and Donald but at least he fought some "names". Arreola beat McCline and Couser.

    No doubt Johnson looked more solid than Arreola but you can't alway go by "look". Power can't be taught. You either have it or you don't.

    I agree but Arreola was smart for taking a knee, only to make quick work of Walker shortly after.

    I think Kirk Johnson was overated, he looked awful when he stepped up to the highest level against Ruiz and Klitschko.

    I thought he looked just as good if not better than most that fought Ruiz. I also think the ref called the fight based more on Ruiz acting than actual low blows. He was finishing off his combos with a nice left to the body. He looked ****ing awful against VK that's for sure.
