    For the people saying no suprise, regardless of how bad Green may be on the world class stage, he has never before been stopped, and he fought Ward and Miranda.

    For a 41 year old GJ to come in, at a weight he hasnt made in a decade, and not just beat Green but stop him? Thats impressive.

    It is impressive...but at the same time not totally surprising.

    A light heavyweight with heavy hands knocking out a super middleweight who's always had a question mark on his chin isn't too far fetched.

    I was hoping for a Johnson KO win, and unlike some other optimistic predictions this one never felt like a "wish upon a star" type. It was more a matter of whether the cut would make Johnson look his age, like he did in the Dawson rematch. After a couple of rounds it was clear that it didn't...which makes the end result fairly unsurprising.

    I noticed that Johnson moved better tonight. Good weight for him.

    Johnson made Dirrell irrelevant & forgotten.

    He replaced Kessler, not Dirrell.

    doesn't matter. Dirrell is being blackballed & frozen out for pulling this phantom injury. He just seriously ruined himself financially

    Green seems like an intelligent man. Perhaps he is not 'fighter' intelligent or maybe the occasion just gets to him.

    I expected Johnson to win it on points, and probably split in an "attempted robbery". Then I saw how old Johnson looked (much older than the last time I've seen him fight) and I thought maybe I made a mistake. Then after round 3 I knew I picked the right guy with Green wobbling towards his chair.

    How can you say that. He has no game plan. He keeps trying to hit the the head on Johnson who always keeps his hands up. He did not even try to at least work on the body. He keeps on clinching even though it's pretty obvious the Johnson is a better inside fighter. I'm impress with Johnson but also very dissatisfied with Green for fighting dumb.

    Johnson is very fan friendly, always trying to push the fight, trying to be the aggressor
    Ward never take chances, safety first, adopting the don't get hit style.
    Green = he sucks balls

    Johnson beat 2 people tonight: father time and Allan Green! He put in an excellent performance... I was expecting him to win, but not in such dominant fashion and not with such a sweet knockout. Congrats to him, he really impressed me tonight. That being said, I also think he's ****ed in hist next fight against whoever he faces. Not ****ed that bad but I don't think he can win against any of the other semi-finalists.

    You can honestly say that no one saw that KO coming. I knew johnson would win even with the weight drain but like that? I gotta start giving johnson a lot more credit
