Think it may have taken a bit of a hit last night. He didn't look that impressive while things lasted against Skelton. Disappointed in both fights tbh, both underwhelming for one reason or another.
It's crazy because Price V Fury is a tough fight to call yet if you were to listen to some people on here Price is the second coming of George Foreman and jesus christ himself and Fury is a total bum.
Just did them mate, blink and you missed it really. They thanked Johnson for all of the entertainment he has provided To Paraphrase: Fury/ We had a detailed gameplan and stuck to it, he's always dangerous. Johnson/ I was waiting for him to press me against the ropes, to show his anger, but he always went back to boxing. He's long, longer than you think.
Seriously? 2 hours of boxing on a terrestrial channel on a Saturday night and you're still pissing and moaning?!?!
It's poor really, I sense some have loss there objectiveness. You can't slate Johnson's mentality when we saw Sam Sexton run around like a rabbit in the headlights. Got to be consistent. For me Johnson struggles with tall fighters who control range well and Fury did that really well tonight.
Price needs to fight someone decent soon, i know they have mentioned Thompson but i still wouldn`t be suprised if mismatch puts him with Towers next
To be honest Kevin Johnson struggles with anybody that throws punches and is quite decent at boxing. I pretty much ignore Kevin Johnson tonight, Fury impressed me with his technical development. His balance, co-ordination, punching mechanics, adjustments are all much improved. As well as his conditioning, which is obvious.
Johnson refused to fight back, he just goes into a shell like he did with Vitali. Vitali won every round easily, all Johnson did was cover up.
to be honest mate I reckon Price would have knocked KJ out before the 5th going on that performance. Fury's stamina is far better nowadays though. I think they should just throw caution to the wing and get those twi in a ring together soon and let the fans have a good night. I cant see it generating anymore cash by waiting any longer anymore. Anyone who follows boxing is gonna watch it as it stands (well anyone in the UK anyhow but thats who counts in this one imo)
Well done to Fury, used his attributes well, good speed, conditioning and discipline, won every round and never looked in danger, slightly over cautious at times but his combinations looked good. I think you could hit Kingpin with a shovel and he would just blink, tough man.
