Monte barrett vs. Kevin johnson

I would expect Barrett to win as long as he is in good shape. Johnson is slow as hell.

 

Good fight, nice step up for KJ.

It should be a very close and competitive bout, but I think KJ will win a razor thin decision at the end.

 

I really hope Barrett does the upset.

Barrett is one of the few gatekeepers who ALWAYS brings it, EVERY fight. If you aren't on your game, he will beat you up. Barrett doesn't lay down for anyone.

 

This could be a close fight, I think Johnson wins the controversial decision.

 

Either way, it is good exposure for a young up and comer and a possible last televised fight for the old dog.

 

Nicely done :good

 

Johnson should fight Arreola, Povetkin or Chambers. Either try and prove yourself as the best prospect or shut up about trying to get a title shot.

In fact, any of these guys fighting each other would answer questions about either fighter.

Boystov, Dimitrienko, Rogan and Solis fight amongst themselves to find out who's breaking into the upper tier of contenders.

 

got kevin johnson in this wish he had power but good boxer fast

 

Johnson is nothing special and do not hit that hard but Barret is shot and can be even hurt by a jab, so i picking this overhyped job to win and talk trash that he is the new mike tyson.

 

Yeah, but if they did that, then people would whine and ***** that they haven't beaten any established fighters, so why should they get a title shot.

 

As I say, if Arreola beat Chambers and then, say, Johnson, he would be deemed worthy of a title shot (as he'd also have Walker and McCline) and if Povetkin beat Johnson and Arreola say, added to Chambers he'd have a fiarly good list of top contenders on his resume.

By fighting each other these guys would force themselves into a shot, any intriguing match-ups are welcome in the HW division these days.

Let's say these four guys fight each other and one guy comes out clearly on top. Let's say Haye beats Wlad. A HW title fight between young, fresh and talented HW's beckons, surely that's something we've been crying out for years???!?!?




or Vitali smashes Haye, Hell, or Haye doesn't get past Wlad. I'm gonna' be the first to say it but the HW division is becoming mildly interesting.

I'd like to see Vitali fight Valuev next and hope Haye wins, then we will have a genuine undisputed HW champ for Vitali vs. Hay (this is assuming of course that Haye beats Wlad, which is by no means a given, although I'd like to see Haye do it)

 

barret ain't 'shot' and whatever punch resistance problems he showed versus haye shouldn't be that much of a factor versus kingpin who rarely commits enough to have real power. kevin can box and is fast (at least with his hands) and given that barrett often has a poor gameplan to beat decent fighters, i'd pick kj to win a decision though barret should have his moments as always

 

Barrett is finished, but Johnson is nothing either. If Johnson can't beat Barrett, then he has no future.

 

I am sad to hear that Barrett is fighting again. He is very old in boxing years and Johnson will probably win easily at this point.
