    I think Johansson wins this by knockout. Thoughts?

    I don't know I lean towards Jimmy Ellis in this one although Johannson could lower the boom on him.

    Johanson wins the first 1 by ko with a sudden explosive right in 6. Ellis dominates the next 2 making adjustments but probably has to get off the floor.

    Yeah Jimmy sometimes over stepped his bounds by trading in close with the big boys and this would be a mistake against Ingo. I’m leaning towards Johannson by knockout. Might be a good fight though
