Tureano Johnson: The Bull Of The Bahamas-The Pulverizing Nassau Middleweight Marauder

Taureano Dexter Johnson is a 5'10 31 year old Middleweight with a 18-1 13 KO 1 KO loss record. Born and raised in Nassau, The Bahamas and currently residing in the State of Georgia. One of the most intense pressure fighters in the Middleweight Division he's one of the most appropriately named boxers I've seen in a while, his name Taureano is derived from the Latin word Taurus which means Bull. And charging Bull is the definition of his style, he comes forward and punches, and that's pretty much his style in a nutshell. He's very exciting to watch and don't let his one loss fool you against Curtis Stevens, he was easily leading on the scorecards walking through massive bombs by Stevens for 9 and a half rounds when finally Stevens hit him with everything he had in the last rounds and stunned him, while he was hurt he didn't go down and maybe should have been given a few more seconds to see if he could weather the storm. After the match instead of resting on his laurels, he's fought 3 times since, taking the 0 of Mike Gavronski and absolutely annihilating Alex Theran with ease. He wants the hardest fights he can get including GGG. So Check Out The Bahamian Taurus in Action. :toney:toney:toney:toney
