Tomorrow night in Switzerland, Vitali Klitschko defends his WBC Heavyweight Title for the 3rd time. Following dominant wins over Samuel Peter, Juan Carlos Gomez and Chris Arreola, Klitschko is the clear favorite to retain his title over a fighter who has no losses but also no quality wins. Kevin Johnson, for his part, is a talented boxer who stands 6'3" with a long reach. Johnson seems to believe that he can outbox Klitschko, presumably by decision, but how is that really possible? The only way it could happen is if Johnson prepares himself to be an extremely active fighter for 12 rounds. Klitschko's activity level has been unparalleled, and he'll be throwing straight shots at Johnson's head all night. I'll take Vitali to beat Johnson, but Johnson's skill level and size may enable him to last the distance.
