Vitali Klitschko vs. Kevin Johnson

[Thrashen]

I was talking to a guy at the bar the other day about the Mayweather vs. Pacquiao fight. He told me that he really only pays attention to the heavyweights, so I said "you must really like the Klitschko's huh?" he goes "who?", he hadn't heard of them.

I didn't even bother. Like so many americans his boxing knowledge of the heavyweights ended after the last George Foreman fight but he still thinks he's 'up' on the sport. Pathetic.

Well, when not a single MSM outlet ever so much as mentions the current HW division, let alone the champions, I really wouldnt expect any DWFs to be "up" on anything. Obviously, the "hush hush" technique has been exercised by the media GodMen with respect to sports, politics, religion, race, etc.

Due to the internet being 100 times faster and 100 times easier, their 50+ year "reign of terror" is quickly coming to an end. I'm not sure there is a single young person (or semi-intelligent old person) who actually watches the TV news-jews anymore.

I only knew about the Klitschko's because I have the internet. I couldnt imagine the dark days before it's creation. Perhaps that's why so many white men and woman are essentially black supremecists with regard to racial politics?

Back in the 90's you could get most top hw's fights on the radio! But now they dont even tell you who won...They say that fans dont watch boxing no more.. What they are saying is black fans dont watch boxing no more!Edited by: lost

The heavyweight division is "boring" now according to the media. David Haye is supposedly the fighter that can "save" the division. I don't even want Gaye to fight either Klitschko at this point. I want him to fight Adamek, hit the floor hard, and we will never have to hear from him again.

I was just reading the ADV broadcast on natall news. And erich gliebe was talking about white athletes and the klitschkos. I was trying to post a link "BUT"

!!!!

He really isn't more than a club fighter. There were better guys for Vitali to fight. I think Johnson was chosen because Vitali didn't have much time to train after the fight in September.

Kevin Johnson has some decent boxing skills, this won't be a cakewalk. He was chosen because he was the highest-rated opponent available (Ring #10, WBC #6), undefeated and relatively young. He's obviously a better choice than old, shot fighters like Maskaev and Toney.

Remember, Vitali doesn't want to do business with Don King unless necessary, so that excludes Austin and other King heavyweights. Eddie Chambers is lined up to fight Wlad, so not available. And Vitali knows he would receive more respect for defeating an African-American boxer than a better European fighter like Denis Boytsov.

Johnson was the logical choice.

I agree with the higher profile being from an American but Johnson is only rated 42nd by the IBO computer(these rankings can be off due to a higher activity rate and picking on paper contenders). To me Pianeta has beaten better guys and even Boswell who beat Greenberg. But you are right too many guys have their dance cards filled for a big money fight to happen this weekend.

Johnson is also undefeated which is another selling point.

This is a pretty big weekend for us here at castefootball who follow boxing. We have the Klitschko-Johnson fight, Alexander Ustinov will face his toughest opponent yet in Monte Barrett and also the Diaconu-Pascal rematch. I really hope Diaconu can pull through this time. I thought the last fight was fairly close and he has a chance if he learned from the last fight.

This will be a long thread by monday.........

 

[whiteathlete33]

From what I understand the Klitschko fight is going to be on tape delay on HBO. I actually have HBO free for three months now but I'd rather find a stream and watch it live.

It's on free TV in Europe (RTL) at 5 PM Eastern time and 2 PM Pacific.

So we shouldn't have a problem finding a stream, and it likely won't get shut down.

The way Vitali is cutting through today's crop of black affelet boxers so easily, the media will soon describe it as the "bum of the month club" like when Joe Louis was slicing through every medicroe white fighter in his day.

The only difference is that Louis was great and Vitali only serviceable and benifiting today becuase the black fighters are playing in the NFL or MMA. Which is utter horse crap!

Vitali if he fought Joe Louis or Ali he would knock them back to Africa in a matter of 6 or 7 rounds, probalby sooner.

Vitali and Wladimir are as good or better than any heavyweight that has ever fought. If only the stupid media and fans would realize that. We may never see two heavyweight fighters so gifted ever again. It is a privilige to watch them. They bring all of us around the world great pride and honor.

 

[whiteathlete33]

I am also anxious to see Ustinov fight on the undercard. I hope he can put up a dominant performance against Barrett.

Johnson was whistling in the graveyard today. Here is what he said at the press conference.(from Fightnews)...Heavyweight title challenger Kevin Johnson is showing WBC heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko no respect in advance of their clash Saturday night in Bern, Switzerland. "He's a joke,"Â￾ said Johnson, "he's a dream opponent, he's a big, ugly zombie"¦.Klitschko can't do half of what I can do â€" either physically or mentally. Fâ€" that guy. I'll leave him behind me. This fight is easy!"Â￾ Klitschko, who stopped Chris Arreola in ten rounds three months ago in Los Angeles, promised to do better against Johnson. "It'll be a classic KO,"Â￾ he said.

 

[whiteathlete33]

Johnson is practicing TNB. Very rarely do you ever see a black afflete show any respect towards a white opponent. This guy shouldn't be talking with his 39 % KO percentage. He has no power and hasn't beaten anyone decent besides Bruce Seldon so far in his career.

 

[whiteathlete33]

Haye keeps talking his usual trash.http://betting.betfair.com/betting/boxing/vitali-klitschko-v-kevin-johnson-haye-starts-the-trash-talk-as-bur-101209.html

Well the Media knows that! they are not that stupid! But i like it better that the media hide the klitschkos from the white sports fans! because it shows it's hurting them! The media are looking for anytihing or anybody that will show the heavywieghts as weak today.. go to youtube and check out all the new george chauvlo videos.. he made the mistake of saying todays HW's are boring. And now he can't get away from them. Their running him down when he's going to dinner, When he's in the mens room, It's very funny! And you can see the poor guy dont know why!! All he has to do is to say the klitschkos are great! And the media will stop..Edited by: lost

The afflete looks chunky around the midsection.

 

[white lightning]

I love how he grabs his sunglasses away from him. They are not used to that and it probably scares the crap out of Kevin Johnson. Vitali wants to stare into his eyes to let him know who he is dealing with. One of the two best heavyweights to ever live along with Wladimir.

 

[white is right]

The afflete looks chunky around the midsection.

For Johnson that is pretty lean. He talks a good game. But when the fight starts watch him try and run and hide and eventually get stopped in the middle rounds. He should try wrestling with the motor mouth he has.

 

[The Hock]

I've always thought Vitaly was the mean one, but he's shown a good sense of humor lately.

 

[chris371]

Wow, a black guy acting like a clown, thats something new...

 

[whiteathlete33]

The thing that frustrates me is these affletes keep getting championship fights while better fighters like Povetkin, Platov, and Boystov arent.
