    It was a sparring session between friends. Bute carried him.

    Bute landed a good body shot early & Johnson covered up well for the rest of the night.

    It was more of a glorified sparring session than a fight.

    Didn't break a sweat. Dominated from beginning to end. Johnson was really scared to commit.

    Yep. Either round 2 or 3, I think. :D

    Watch rounds 10-11, Bute corners him a couple times and finally pokes holes in Glen's tight D... with power shots, IIRC.

    Johnson, unlike in the Froch fight, kept his right elbow/arm tucked right in the whole fight. The few times he threw straight rights & overhand rights, it was cautiously calculated.

    I did like how Froch came back in rounds 10 to 12, looked like the warrior he is. In rounds 7-8 though, double left hooks and big overhand rights were finding the target.

    It looked exactly like what it was; A couple of friends putting on an exhibition sparring session then laughing all the way to the bank with their pay cheques.

    He didn't carried him, Bute has injured his power hand in the 4th.
