Klitschko to meet Johnson on Dec. 12

No.

 

Any chance of US TV coverage for this fight?

 

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.

 

from what I have been told either ESPN Classic or Integrated Sports PPV (24.95)

 

ESPN Classic would be great. I have not heard of Integrated Sports PPV....is that available for DISH subscribers?

 

About as good a chance as anyone else not named Tua or Haye.

Which is none.

 

Lets hope ESPN Classic picks it up.

 

At least Vitaly stays active

 

There really is nobody of quality to challenge these relatively average brothers is there?

 

name some of them

 

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
