    Johnson still has good defense. He's very good at covering up and slipping or rolling with more meaningful shots. This wasn't an eye-catching performance from Hrgovic but at the same time there weren't any alarms that went off either. Johnson being taken the distance in cagey and boring fights is his m.o.

    He's very tricky to catch clean and when he does get caught he's proven tough enough to take it with the exception of one time in his career which was against AJ. He's very adept at twisting and turning his head to take the sting out of shots and he threw more of his own tonight in 2 rounds than he did against Dubois all night. Ironically, Hrgovic actually hurt him and dropped him while he was on the ropes being negative, though.

    There isnt much elusiveness in Johnson nowadays. He rolls a right hand very well especially when its as telegraphed as Hrgovic's, so Hrgovic should have used a bit more footwork and stung in more left hooks, I understand hes completely an outside fighter but then he will need to learn how to fight closer.

    It isnt like you are fighting a fast quick reflex fighter like Whitaker in there, Its Kevin ****ing Johnson. Hrgovic didnt look impressive looked telegraphed and quite slow, i thought he could fight and beat the winner of whyte and chisora next and beat them to a pulp and he probably would, Is he learning, does he look really powerful or particularly fast? A solid amatuer style right now, But he looked a beast vs mansour, Johnson sucks!!!

    Johnson's got a lot bulkier in his physique. Must be hitting the weights hard. Dubois couldn't put a dent in that cranium. Harder to stop now.

    Again, Johnson has only been stopped legitimately once and he's fought a who's who of the HW division and he doesn't have to be fast because what he does works perfectly well for him 99% of the time he steps into a ring, hence why AJ is the only fighter to get him out of there legitimately in 45 fights. If other fighters were getting him out of there the criticism for Hrgovic not being able to do so would be more understandable but that's not the case.

    Johnson KO'd Pianeta last year but The Gypsy King couldn't even drop him

    The Gypsy King was just robbed against Donkey Wilder

    Hrgovic>>>Johnson>>The Gypsy King>>Donkey

    He's always actually had a good body. It's his rotund chubby face that is deceiving and makes him look like a fat man. Remember Tyson Fury called him "Mr chubby checker" lmfao.

    Donkey probably wouldn't be able to stop Johnson either. Johnson would just lay on the ropes and shake his head in condescending way while Donkey throws his windmills to the other side of the ring.

    :lol: The Gypsy King that fought Pianeta was the best version of The Gypsy King to ever step foot in a ring.

    And that's a fact, BTW

    Well remember, Hrgovic only had 2 days to prepare against a heaver KJ, plus Fury had 15 more fights than him at this stage of his career.

    Hrgovic's trainer needs to teach him a counter hook. I do not think he is a natural Cuban style fighter, he's a a durable tank type with skills and power.

    Johnson is a durable cover and and counter type who's really not in there to win. So he'll counter the aggressive types. Few in the top ten counter as well as he does.
