Yudel Johnson

Jhonson isn't on the same level as the Cuban prospects you mentioned above, but he's in the second tier. Smart fighter, pro-friendly style, throws lots of combos, but no attribute has jumped out to me as being off the charts with him.

 

He was the 2004 Olympic Silver medalist at Light Welterweight and a good fighter, as far as your boy having a shot against him I'd say it's not very likely.

Heres his boxrec.

ur boy is going to get ktfo

 

He is going to eat punches the whole night, an he can be happy if he will connect 1 for the 5 other he is going to receive, as Johnson is not only very effective offensively, but has a great defence as well . To be honest this will be a bad night for him. He will be frustrated

For me, physically he looks like Trinidad, but your friend is lucky enough that Johnson has not a devastating KO power, altought a better ring generalship ...

 

dudes garbage tbh, his last fight was a borefest. He's simply a class below the other Cuban defectees....he also needs to keep in better shape

 

The guy is an amateur.

 

Jhonson ( spelled like that ) is not as good as Gamboa/Rigondeaux but he is a very technical boxer with great amateur experience, is a southpaw and is very tall at 5'10. He is Olympic Silver Medalist ( something that is very hard to achieve ) and has average power. I have seen him in the pros and he definitely has talent, amateur experience and skills to make it far, just as far as Lara can go...

If your friend does'nt have a solid amateur background ( at the World level ) then pretty much he does'nt have a chance, except a lucky punch!

Jhonson is quite good and for what it seems all the Cubans fans are underrating him all the time, mainly due to the great Cuban talent that we have now but Jhonson is not an easy cooky to deal with. He is fast, slick, has great defence, throws many combos and can also TKO/KO anyone. I see him going very far in the pros, I don't know how dedicated he is or who is training him and that's a major factor...

Here is one of his fights!!! Enjoy Cuban boxing... PS, I agree, he looks a lot like Trinidad ( in the face )...

Amateur?

The Cuban " amateurs " are causing quite an impact my friend, the Cuban " amateurs " will carry boxing from now on...:hey

 

looks pretty good here, similar style to Rigo....far too one-handed (same goes for Rigo)....don't quite know what fight it was that I saw him in but he looked terribly average in a UD

 

Don't let his record fool you.
