Well Done, I got to the end of the 8th and simply gave up...
Another prime example of why Heavyweight boxing is dying on its ar$e.....A champion who is so one dimensional that it is frightening, and a challenger who is scared to death of actually getting involved in a fight.....Didn't Johnson realise that this was a WORLD heavyweight title fight he was taking part in, because surely if he did he would have actually bothered making an effort??
The problem with both the Klitchsko's is simple...Both are scared to death of getting hit. Watch them both fight and watch where their heads are when they are throwing punches...It's like watching fairies fighting.
I honestly think the time has come to introduce the Super Heavyweight category to the professional scene, to try and combat the never ending cycle of robotic, painfully slow, and tedious to watch 'Heavyweights' who are around today...I noticed there is another Eastern European on the rise (Ustinov), who, like all the rest, resmebled some lumbering freak, but because of his sheer size will inevitably overwhelm many of the smaller fighters out there.
Its not a coincidence that on last night's bill, the only heavyweight who looked remotely exciting to watch, was a blown-up cruiserweight, Jonathan Banks, who similar to our own David Haye, actually possesses a few more ideas about Boxing than a tedious jab-jab-straight right/left,whilst holding your head shamefully high because your scared to death, which is all these freak-type Eastern Europeans seem to be able to do.
