Vitali Klitschko retained the WBC heavyweight championship belt after earning a unanimous 12-round decision over Kevin Johnson.
The champion was the aggressor throughout the fight, although he couldn't seem to land his power punches squarely on the elusive Johnson (22-1-1, 9 KOs). Klitschko (39-2, 37 KOs) continued to take the match to the challenger in the late rounds and in the end the scores were 120-108, 120-108 and 119-109 all in the favor of the champ.
The 30-year-old American Johnson put up a good fight against the champion, becoming only the second opponent to go the 12-round distance with the 38- year-old Klitschko.
Johnson came into the bout as the WBC's sixth-ranked challenger.
