Back to the same pattern, Pulev pressing, Kevin Johnson on the ropes. Pulev landed a right and a left, then Kevin landed a counter. Kevin looks a little gas, Pulev pressing hard, still finding it difficult. Pulev is trying a 1-2 over and over again.

 

Sounds like one of those fights where both fighters persist in the same old tactics that simply aren't working against the other guy.

 

9-1 Big round for Pulev, Johnson needs to retire

 

Johnson is done.

First time Kevin has looked like he was in trouble a little bit, gassing maybe. Pulev pressing, landed a real good right hand, Kevin felt that. Pulev landing now..trying to finish, Kevin still there for now.

 

you got to just love the rope a dope strategy that KJ breaks out everytime he is behind, or is tiring out.

 

9-1 Pulev

Pulev getting away with quite a lot of illegal punches, Johnson looks done

 

yes, a lot of punches on the back of the head.

 

This ref is a joke

 

He did that with Wlad too. Clinching has it's drawbacks ...

Every once in a while Kevin would landed a shot, that's about it on his end. Pulev coming forward, Kevin Johnson cagey on the ropes. Johnson felt a good body shot by Pulev. Back to the ropes. Kevin looks like he's done but doesn't go anywhere.
