Betting on Vitali Klitschko and Kevin Johnson | IXGAMES

The 38-year old Vitali Klitschko was able to defend his WBC heavyweight championship for the third time this year. He faced the then unbeaten Georgia-based, New Jersey-born Kevin Johnson on the ring. Johnson has a record of 22-0-1 and has 9 knockouts. He earned his title fight by beating Devin Vargas back in May. Meanwhile, Klitschko has a record of 38-2 and has 37 knockouts. Who’s your bet? These two fighters are definitely strong contenders, so their next fights with other professional boxers are worth waiting for. Betting blindfolded is like donating your money to an unknown charity. So to help you, let’s start comparing what these two fighters can do. Looking at the previous match of Klitschko before he defeated Johnson, he defeated another unbeaten American by the name of Chris Arreola. This, along with his recent victory, could give him an upstart jolt of confidence and much more heavy artillery for his next opponent. However, it can’t always be said that he will be able to use those arsenals of punches against an undefeated fighter. As for Kevin “Kingpin” Johnson, he is now 22-0-1 (9) since turning over in 2003. His best fight ever could have been the draw against Timur Ibragimov over four rounds in 2004 and stopping Bruce Seldon. He won’t be able to knock out any tough fighter but he is well trained and schooled. He is good at making situations tough for the opponent with his stellar jabs, and is savvy for a big guy. He is quick enough to dodge punches and is pumped up with confidence too after a 6th round technical knockout win against Vargas back in May. Klitschko, who is now at 38-2 (37), is a creditable favorite but his age is also a factor especially that he’s nearing his 40’s. He could grow old in the ring when the fight starts to wonder off in the late rounds. He had a famous lost to Lennox Lewis back in 2003 from cuts. He can definitely take shots as what this fight against Lewis has shown fans. He took hard hits and a couple of remarkable uppercuts six years ago and he was still up until the fight was stopped because of a gash over his eye. Klitschko also lost to Chris Byrd for the WBO belt back in 2000. There are numerous ways their next matches could go into. As a knockout artist, Vitali will close in on his next opponent early in the fight and that opponent could fall down within three rounds of boxing. The other thing that could happen is Vitali’s opponent might start it off well with his jabs and begin to gain confidence as the fight goes on. The plan for Vitali’s opponent has to be able to withstand all the rounds and win unanimously or by split decision.
