Johnson did what was expected. He's got zero punch so he couldn't afford to get into a slugfest with Vitali. He has only 5 career KO's.
He's got a nice jab but that's about his only weapon and Vitali has the perfect size and defense against a jabber.
There's no way Johnson could have conceivably won that fight short of a freak injury to Klitschko.
I think he did what he set out to do. Last the distance, make Vitali look a bit clumsy and set himself up for a few paydays down the road with some of the other less then stellar contenders in the division.
