    Some reports that I've heard is that he should only have a couple losses, while I've heard others that say a lot of the decisions were fair. So, how many are bad decisions?

    guys who fight like him are going to have some disputed decisions---very active with no one-punch kayo power and leaky defense.

    i do as well, but since he doesnt have one-punch kayo power (but power nonetheless), it leads to a lot of decisions. A fighter with good defense and decent chin will always give him a good fight, which leads to close decisions, and some wont go his way.

    the Daniel Judan fight was a flat out robbery.

    Definitely some were robberies others were close fights where the local fighter got the close rounds. We all have witneseed both scenarios.

    Glen worked as a construction worker first and boxer second , so he took fights on short notice to supplement his regular pay check. He has a family to feed.

    To me he exemplifies all those thousands of boxers who take up boxing and pursue it with 99.9% remaining unknown . I don't know if Glen had any amateur boxing background but either way he is a true road warrior with considerable skill and a good punch . All boxers deserve our respect but Glen's work ethic despite the losses and finally good high profile wins truly is unique in the age of hyped-up prima-donnas who haven't the fortitude of " The Road Warrior " Glen Johnson. :hat

    I would concur with him losing 4 or 5 of those decisions.

    He has a bunch of fights that realistically could've gone either way and ended up on the short end of the stick the majority of the time. The only flat out robbery--that I say--were the draw against Daniel Judah, which I thought he blatantly won. Although I thought he deserved to win against Ottke and Branco and probably could've won another 2-3 close assed fights with more favorable judging
