Exciting fight on paper, I think Hardy is the more technical striker, and I think Johnson will oblige him and keep it mostly a striking battle. Either has the ability to end it though.
I really don't think Hardy has the ability to 'end it', so to speak. His KO power is overrated and I don't think Johnson has a weak chin, not that I've seen much of it on display
on mma live some british gut said anthony johnson will cut from 220, thats 50 pounds, i think hardy will win, due to an exhausted johnson
Unfortunately, Hardy isn't as powerful as he thinks or as durable. Paul Daley he is not. He needs to fight smarter. Get behind a jab, break down the legs, pick his shots etc Johnson seems to have a bit more talent in terms of explosiveness and at this stage seems a better striker but technically he didnt' impress me at all.
