Vitali Klitschko beats unheralded American

Heavyweight champ Vitali Klitschko defeated American Kevin Johnson yesterday. The Klitschko brothers are lacking a serious challenge and no one expected Johnson to pose a threat at all. David Haye chimed in quickly indicating that Vitali had yet to build a legacy in the boxing having only a loss to Lennox Lewis as a legacy building fight.

Haye will be fighting John Ruiz next year and then look for a fight with one of the Klitschko brothers. The goal being to beat both Klitschkos and be recognized as the undisputed heavyweight champion. For now, the Klitschkos sit atop the heavyweight division until someone can knock them off.

In other action, junior welterweight king Timothy Bradley won a big fight against Lamont Peterson. With Manny Pacquiao out of the division Bradley has to look no further than Amir Khan or Juan Manuel Marquez for potential challengers. His brand value is low so it will be interesting to see where he lands up next.
