    Lol, Johnson is one of the few fighters who truly fights to survive in fights he thinks he can't win. I'll be impressed if Joshua can stop him. The only stoppage I can likely see is one where he is covering up too much and it's an early stoppage by the ref.. hard to see Johnson getting knocked out. He's a capable boxer with a solid chin and master survival tactics.

    I'm not acting like that. I'm scoffing at the notion that Loughlin stopped it based on the damage to Mitchell's face. He stopped it because Mitchell wanted out, for which I don't blame him.

    Nop, it's more along the lines of "you ****ed up and gave it away".

    Bottled it would more mean pussied out that quit after a beating. Bottled it can also mean had a really nervous showing and lost 118-110 in a guy's first world title shot to a guy he could have beat.

    e.g lots of people say Bruno bottled it in the Tyson rematch ... or Spinks v. Tyson, even though both got legit KOed.

    Do like watching him when he puts his punches together. Classy operator. Just too vulnerable but man when he keeps it crispy, he can look pretty awesome.

    No it was the horrific headbutt he couldn't see anymore and felt like his eye was hanging out of its socket.Different fight without that headbutt Lineres is a weak champion.
