I agree. Let's see how legit Lepai's power is :deal Good fight. Glad Johnson is willing to travel for a tough match, which if he wins, will benefit his ranking nicely.
Glad this one's confirmed and the legal issues were a mixup. Crazy as it sounds, this will be both fighters biggest win and will rocket them up the rankings. I could see either getting a title shot or an eliminator from this fight before the end of the year.
neither deserve a title shot after this .....its a decent match up....kevin johnson isnt even ranked..his last 2 years has looked like this since he lost every minute of every round to vitali Harold Sconiers 17-22-2 Julius Long 15-14-0 Charles Davis 19-20-2 and Lepai is active but hasnt beaten anyone ranked either... its a good solid heavyweight match up and nothing else...to think anyone of these guys deserve a title shot because they fought each other is laughable
Yeah, there is that titlist Potvetkin out there who is mandated to fight Rahman next. And as often is the case, these fringe contender do skyrocket the rankings by beating other solid Blevel guys. At least this is a B vs B matchup whereas both Rahman and Arreola have fed on a steady diet of Cclass to their positions. If either one gets and eliminator vs a Welliver or a Mitchell after this win I'd be happy to see the winner get a shot early next year or late this year.
oh well i was more referring to real titles and not paper titles....both of them could fight povetkin next and that would be ok with me. i agree its unusual to see B vs B and hopefully its a good fight..thts all i want to see is decent fight with heavyweights
don't remember too many other contenders with any super wins on their resume. these 2 guys may not be up to the klit level, but nobody else is either.
Leapai comes to bring it but i dont know if he can win if Johnson is unwilling to trade and doesnt open up Leapai could probably have some success but i dont see him winning
The boring approach of just jabbing and keeping Leapai at arms length is probably the best game-plan here for Johnson. If he takes risks he may not even get to hear the 10 count.
