    He was hurt, Johnson should've gone for the kill but he stood off him.

    Johnson didn't really test the water quick enough. Should've gone all in.

    Maybe so. But there's a reason he didn't. He went all out when he hurt Bologna. He held back for a reason. And that's that Beterbiev is too dangerous and clearly recovered enough to deter Johnson from going all out. But in this sport you sometimes only get one opportunity so it probably would have been better for him to have left it all on the line even if he regretted it later.

    Not disagreeing with youre comment about Bivol's chin, maybe he does have a very good chin, but up to this point hes barely taken a clean shot off it if he even has been tagged clean in his enture career by a good puncher. Very underrated defensively.

    Bivol probably has the same chin as Golovkin and Provodnikov.

    Yeah, not thinking every fighter to get dropped is sporting a glass jaw makes me really arrogant.

    Grow up weirdo.

    Glass jaws DO exist in boxing. And Beterbiev might have one. The signs are there. At the very least, his whiskers are questionable.

    is it weak chin or Johnson is a hard puncher you can't have it both ways. Johnson was knocked out is his chin weak too?

    The signs would have been shaky or wobbly legs when he stood back up. Clearly wasn't the case. His chin is probably pretty average.

    He has a solid chin. Johnson can hit pretty hard himself. Arthur is a very good fighter who happened to waste his prime.

    Rather his prime was wasted by scum promoters and managers. He's definitely declined a bit but I still think he can make a splash if he gets the big fights soon.

    Yes, he could make a rather large splash if boxing becomes his focus. True that the promoters have had a huge part in screwing with this progress, but at 33 the clock is ticking...

    No, you got that all wrong. His balance when in close sometimes is not good. Hell, he wasn't hurt by the shot. He bounced back in a hurry.
