Time For Change: Can Kingpin Kevin Kayo Klitschko?

by Dafs 117

When David Haye finally claimed a heavyweight title, defeating sloppy titlist Nikolay Valuev, the Heavyweight began its first cosmetic surgery since the beginning of the decade.

Haye know holds a market share at the top of the heavyweight division, and soon, surely, a title shot at Vitali Klitschko must be around the corner. He first defends against John Ruiz, then surely Vitali Klitschko could free up his schedule.

Dr Ironfist fights on Saturday, against Kevin Johnson, an American that possess a potent jab that could trouble the ever-aging Klitschko. He has a padded record that doesn’t really scream out worthy contender, but he has a nature that could trouble Vitali in the ring.

The Kingpin Arrives!

In the first truly scorching performance of his career, Kevin "Kingpin" Johnson battered undefeated amateur stand-out and 2004 Olympic team captain, Devin Vargas, into submission via 6th round TKO.

Vargas pressed the action early while Johnson opted to roll with the punches and shoot out the jab. Johnson dropped Vargas in the 3rd with a barrage of punches that evidentally injured Vargas' right ear. For the rest of the bout Johnson was more aggressive than usual and wound up dropping Vargas one more time in the 5th. The Vargas corner threw in the towel towards the end of the 6th amidst another Johnson barrage.

Johnson moves to 22-0-1 (9) while Vargas falls to 17-1 (7).

Johnson, who was previously ranked #15 in the BTBC World Rankings, will be bumped up to #12.
