    Callum Johnson just sees another man like him? I guess he is a Marxist then, because Beterbiev will prove Darwin right during this match :ggg:headbash

    ''I always go by... Whenever I wanna know about a guy I ask someone who's boxed them. That's all you do. And you can watch them.. but I wanna hear from a guy who's been in the ring with them. And I talk to all Beterbiev's sparring partners.. I give them rides back to the hotels.. and everyone of them.. everyone of them is like ''wow! I never been hit like that before. Never in my life!''

    She looks familiar, I get a weird sense of deja vu when looking at her, like I've seen her somewhere else with long hair? I think I'm just getting butch lesbo Joely Richardson off of her.:lol:

    Unlike everyone else in the top 15, Johnson was man enough to take the fight against Beterbiev. In fact, they had to go through the IBF rankings x 2 before they could find a challenger who was willing to step up to the plate. Johnson didn't even hesitate to take it and he agreed to do so on the spot.

    Johnson not only took the fight, but he actually, just as he said all along he was going to do (I could tell he meant every word he said in all those interviews during the lead up to the fight), was absolutely fearless and he took the fight to the fearsome punching Beterbiev, met him head on and stood in the pocket trading bombs with him.

    He wanted to win that belt so badly to dedicate it to his father's memory and it really showed in his performance. He withstood a lot of seriously heavy leather and at no point in the fight did anything that was coming back at him, even when hurt and dropped, extinguish his flame or deter him from believing in himself or from trying to win.

    As Eddie Hearn says here... Johnson's stock has only risen from this and he deserves a lot of respect for taking the fight when so many others refused and for the manner in which he fought.
