	Alex Pierpaoli : Klitschko Accumulates another Victory
		Vitali, who was filling in for Kirk Johnson after an injury forced him out of the bout, shook up boxing and won the southern California crowd in a gritty display of courage when he fought 6 hard rounds against Lennox with a virtual hole in his eyelid, a hole which required 60 stitches to repair.
		Johnson looked out of shape and boos and mocking laughter could be heard as soon as he removed his robe and stalked the ring during the introductions.
		Johnson was cracked with a big right toward round’s end and he absorbed it well, but on the big screen high above the ring Johnson’s barrel chest was heaving up and down while he labored for air on his stool after round one.

	Review \| To The Edge by Kirk Johnson
		Kirk Johnson, a New York Times writer, takes the reader on his personal answer to these questions in To the Edge: A Man, Death Valley, and the Mystery of Endurance.
		These were human-interest stories and Johnson tried to maintain a writer's objectivity, but the questions of endurance and the line between the rational mind and the body's abilities eventually caught him up in the runner's inner journey.
		Johnson's prose and his tidbits of Death Valley history and tales of other runners and other Badwater races is so absorbing you begin to understand that Badwater itself is about slowing down, thinking your way through, crossing your own line.

	BraggingRightsCorner.com - " Pulling for Kirk Johnson "... by Chris Robinson
		As far as Kirk Johnson goes, he is all but out the window in the eyes of some, but I am still pulling for Kirk no matter what the situation.
		For Kirk Johnson the two fights of his career that stand out may be his losing efforts to John Ruiz and Vitali Klitschko.
		On this night, Johnson made a believer out of me, and even though the rest of his career seems to have been washed away, the fan in me can’t write him off and that is why I’ll be pulling for him this Thursday and every fight thereafter.

	ESPN.com - BOXING - Kirk Johnson's shot finally arrives
		Johnson is held in a similar regard, a definite top-ten guy with a bucking for the elite status currently held by Lewis.
		Johnson may have fallen in love with his power after the Maskeav fight, where he basically lost the first three rounds in the face of a pressure attack that he seemingly couldn't figure out, before landing a winging left hook that turned the fight around, putting Maskaev's career in the agate type.
		Johnson, luckily, doesn't have to topple a Lewis.

	Vitali Klitschko/Kirk Johnson Analysis & Predictions
		Kirk Johnson’s training habits have too often been questioned due to a physique that is not, perhaps, as aesthetically pleasing as that of most heavyweight contenders.
		It was Kirk’s injury that allowed Klitschko the chance to clash with Lennox Lewis is June and I believe that somewhere deep down inside of Kirk, he feels that he, and not Vitali, is the one who should have been in the ring giving the champion all he could handle six months ago.
		Kirk’s poorest showing as a professional was against John Ruiz who has a penchant for clinching and bull-rushing when he’s in even slight trouble (due largely to over-cautiousness from a :19 KO by David Tua).

	KIRK JOHNSON MAN OF THE YEAR?
		Right or wrong Kirk Johnson believed in what he was fighting for and as painful as it is for some bigots and racist to accept Kirk Johnson was right.
		Kirk Johnson fought for what he believed in and in the end won.
		Kirk Johnson may or may not be your candidate for person of the year but to me he is surely in contention and I cannot think of someone else who has fought more for a cause (self respect) than anyone else.

	Press Release: To the Edge by Kirk Johnson (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Johnson's impetus to try long distance foot racing was his gut reaction to the inexplicable suicide of Gary, a seemingly happy and stable, beloved, older brother.
		For Johnson, though, "I'd fallen under its spell in part because of what it was, but also because of what I wanted it to represent — a place where doors might open, where truth might emerge, where perhaps I'd find the insight I'd been struggling for about what happened to Gary....
		Johnson's diligent preparation included doing stationary jogging inside a sauna, learning to chug a gallon of water in an hour to get his body to adapt to retaining water, pre-race training at Badwater, and reading everything from histories of Death Valley to obscure booklets on toe wrapping to Thoreau and Robert Bly.

	Kirk Johnson scores TKO over Gilbert Martinez, Soliman outpoints Joval
		Johnson spent the first four rounds working mainly behind his left jab and an occasional right hand lead to the head and while he outscored Martinez, Johnson's timing was not as sharp as it has been in the past.
		Johnson looked sharper in rounds number five and six in which he started adding hard left hooks to go with his continued use of the left jab and a stepped up output of right hand leads to the head.
		Johnson really stepped up the pace in round number eight by scoring with a variety of punches, jabs, left hooks, left uppercuts, and right leads that opened up Martinez's cut near the end of the round, causing the referee to stop the contest.
