175 lb 1st Round-Glen Johnson vs Joey Maxim

You're right, this one has dullsville written all over it. Nevertheless, Joey has the jaw to withstand anything Johnson throws his way and the boxing skills to win a very comfortable 12 round decision.

Glen Johnson is a good guy and I like him, but he gets outpointed by Joey Maxim. Maxim counters and outboxes his man for a solid 12 round decision. No way Johnson solves this man Maxim.

 

Maxim counter punches and move well and mixes it up sporadically over an aggressive Johnson to pile up points in a UD

 

I do think it's winnable for Johnson in a close fight on the night, but the likelihood is that Maxim takes a decision, he'd hold when he had to, counter with short shots when his man comes to him, and land with the jab as well. If Johnson wins it would be more exciting, but i'll take Maxim.

 

:goodthis. and PLEASE let's move on to the next fight...respect to both fighters but c'mon, this is not making anyone forget hagler/hearns

 

Damn this is one helluva a slobber knocker... this makes Holyfield-Bowe look like Taylor-Spinks

 

Maxim grinds it out...Better jab, smarter fighter and as strong if not stronger.

I dont think it would be that bad of a fight...It would be pretty physical and rough.

 

Hahaha.

 

In a slow fight Maxim has a few tricks up his sleeve & pulls this one out. for a close decision victory. Johnson tries, but is unispired by the slow pace & is outslicked in this one.

 

Maxims superiour skillset and veteran tricks serve him weel in this ad manages to out fox the wily veteran in Johnson who wins rounds on workrate

8-4 Maxim

 

maxim is a level or 2 higher then johnson so the outcome is predictable

 

maxim ud, better jab and ring smarts

 

Hmm. Going against the grain, because Johnson's skill-set is a bit underrated, and I think he could steal rounds by virtue of workrate alone, especially against a fighter that probably isn't going to hurt him as he's coming in.

Johnson gets a close decision, and wins a SD12.

 

Maxim 8-4... Not one for the casual fan
