Johnson does not impress me very much. His work rate is poor. Very limited power. Keeps his hands too low. Showboats. He does have good defense and a quick jab. Way to light of a puncher for a guy 6'3 1/2 and 240 lbs IMO.
You mean Johnson. He doesn't look very good against journeyman Smith, in fact I think Teddy is right and Smith won some early rounds, but Johnson should win this when it's said and done. But--He's not winning a title--ever.
Yes I meant Johnson, thanks. Definitely not the next great american heavyweight. He does have some decent skills. If he lost about 15 lbs and increased his work rate he would be more effective. Lack of power and work rate are big detriments. He is a good defensive fighter with quick hands
Bingo. I thought he actually narrowly lost the fight. The guy just simply doesn't throw enough punches, and backs up WAY too much. That may get him debatable decisions over guys like Smith, but in the big leagues he's gonna get creamed.
