Kevin Johnson is now looking likely to be Dereks Oponnent on Sep 21st. Good fight? Johnson has a terrible workrate but has a good defence and some pop in his straight right. Derek on points is the likely outcome though
Decent fight i think. Chisora will try and walk him down but hasnt got the best footwork for creating angles to open up Johnson, who will spoil and use his jab, interesting...
should be a decent fight. i like the idea of Del Boy going after the American fighters it could be a good sell if Frank can get Jennings and Wilder over at some point.
If Delboy is not motivated it could be a stinker. I give Johnson no chance and see him in a shell simply surviving the distance
Johnson could win this if he can be bothered, but this has all the makings of a sleep inducing very boring 12 rounds. You would be crazy to buy tickets for this.
Kevin Johnson is a frustrating fighter, he's actually got talent and when he's up for it (like he was against Alex Leapai) he can be pretty decent, but against Fury and Vitali he just sleptwalked through it. Press conference will be entertaining though.
I think it's a good fight, a big name, I wouldn't say it's step forward, but ordinarily Derek fights a big name and then fights a tomato can so it's a step forward in that respect. Kevin Johnson is dull as dishwater and no doubt will make it dull and ugly, but if Derek wins it's a nice little streak for him...
