Mark (two sharp) Johnson

Excellent fighter. Funny you couldnt say his name without saying Too sharp in between. He had a nice style for a little guy. Good boxer puncher with decent power. I think he was one of Cedric Kushners first champions.

 

a boxer/friend of his called him too sharp and forever more DC went crazy chanting

Its Too Sharp

 

terrific little fighter...

 

I think he was absolte class, brilliant boxer.

 

Very quick and sharp(hence his name!) puncher, and a great technician. Sealed his legacy when he came back from his KO loss to Marquez and upset Montiel.

 

I thought he won the first Marquez fight too, and was winning the second as well despite being past his best. A pity we didn't get to see him fight with Johnny Tapia, would have been awesome.

good manuva

 

Thats a great video. The last one is one I was just referring to in another post. Vincent Pettway knocked out Simon Brown, and he was punching in the air unconscious. Awesome. LOL Monte Barrett..

 

simon was never knocked out again...at least not liek that. on his feet


have you seen the whole fight?
one of my fav fights. brown hurts pettway early, pewttway land a rigth cross that hurts brown. then they headbutt the talk to each other they low blow then simon ploughs him thru the ropes onto the mat .
"it's a foul fest now"

 

I did see it live. Wasnt it on ABC or something out of the ordinary? I remember it was during the day, and it was a crazy fight.

 

We were talking about him the other day in the "can't touch this" thread. I really really loved this guy - he was great to watch.

I do think he underacheived slightly though...or maybe I just overrated him!!!
