Vitali Klitschko, 38-2 (37 KOs), will be making his third title defense since returning from a four-year absence from the ring. Known as a scientist in the ring, Vitali Klitschko uses the jab better than anyone else in the heavyweight division right now. He is always in top physical shape when he enters the ring and has shown a growing amount of confidence in the ring. His last fight was a thorough destruction of Chris Arreola in September. In fact, Klitschko’s last ten wins have come by stoppage. The money line listed above is not a misprint. Klitschko really is a 20 to 1 favorite.

Kevin Johnson, 22-0-1 (9 KOs), is in way over his head in this one. He has never been in a fight that was scheduled for 12 rounds before. His biggest win was against, well I’m still searching for his biggest win. Johnson’s last fight was the main event on Friday Night Fights. None of this is an attempt to say that Johnson is a bad fighter. He is merely outclassed in this one. Johnson will, however, enter this fight with an undefeated record and a two-inch reach advantage over the champion.
