    Props to Kevin Johnson for coming in on short notice.

    Johnson although fading with age has very good defensive skills, so the experience will be good for Hrgovic.

    I expect a masterclass in playing possum by Johnson.

    “He’s been training for something completely different so who knows what’s going to happen when we meet in the middle of the ring. It’s hard to predict, but if the opportunity for a knockout comes, I’m going to take it.

    “He’s going to need all the support he can get come Saturday because if he doesn't, there’s going to be a big upset, and whatever the outcome, one thing’s for sure, the fans are going to get their money’s worth, I can guarantee that!"

    Johnson obviously doesn't have much of a chance, he was very much a gate keeper even in his prime.

    But having said that he is durable and cagey and is likely to give Hrgovic some much needed rounds. But if Hrgovic stops him early it says a lot about Hrgovic's power as only Joshua has been able to take Johnson out early.

    Even if he stops him late it will look good in comparison to how Dubois did vs Johnson.

    Johnson is washed up and shouldn’t be fighting. I don’t expect hrgovic to struggle but if he does it’s a red flag.

    His fellow countryman Peter Milas dispatched Johnson in the 8th and I expect this is the yardstick his handlers will be measuring against.

    Always nice to have an opponent who isn't throwing back.
