did Charr really beat Johnson or gift

When I watched it I thought Johnson relatively clearly won the first 4 rounds. After the 4th he visibly faded and Charr began to pull away on work rate. Gave the last 6 rounds to Charr but I could see a draw as the 5th was pretty close.

 

He didn't manage to beat that clown convincingly?

 

Last I checked it was still up on youtube so I would say check it out yourself. For a fight involving Kevin Johnson it is actually exciting(ish)

 

He looked good early on.. But he gave up and went into a defensive shell just like he always does. Johnson gave a good account of himself in the early rounds, but he faded before the middle rounds and Charr clearly won be 2 rounds or so.

 

Charr is one of the most overrated fighters on ESB in my entire time here...

 

I agree I just don't get why people think he's contender material. He got a lucky shot at Vitali and somehow that's earned him contender status when he's never beaten anyone of any note.

He's not even as good as Arreola. He isn't a big puncher, his defence is a very basic high guard with minimal head movement and when he throws in combination he looks off balance, with too much weight on the front foot.

Just watch his fight with Yakup Saglam. Saglam hits him cleanly and repeatedly in combination without any difficulty. Had Saglam not retired due to injury he may have exposed Charr.

 

This.

I loved how being down 5 points through 4 rounds against Vitali was enough to make him an ESB Superstar.

 

There is a reason why he got the Vitali shot. That fight was held for political reasons in Moscow.

 

I've said it before, and I'll say it again:

Wilder would make short work of Charr. Charr has almost no head movement, and is slow.

 

Can't believe the hate Charr is getting it's all coming from obama supporters

 

Charr overrated? how? He's not great but he certainly isn't terrible.... He's a lot more proven than Wilder that's for sure... Charr is like Chisora only a better body puncher... Chisora is a bit quicker with better head movement. Both would knock Wilder out.

No way he beats Wilder ! would,t last more than 3 rounds
