Johnson very tentive. seems to be gun shy. must already know about Bute's power from the sparrings they've had.
Thats a close round. Really as even a round as you will see. I'll go with Johnson based on the jab and workrate. NEither guy really doing a lot that round. 20-18 Johnson.
Round 2 Neither fighter did much this round, Bute had some moments of pushing Johnson back, but Johnson had success with the jab, keeping Bute honest and the right catching Bute in the stomach. tight round, giving it to Bute 1: 10 - 9 Johnson 2: 10 - 9 Bute
Bit of a stinker so far, Johnson really struggling and losing the positional battle so he is punching air constantly. Bute 2-0.
