    Great scrap this. Reminds me of the Kessler/Froch fight in its intensity.
    Thoughts on the decision/oppinions on the reffing job?

    Oh great fight. Just watched it all, THANKS. Ref was poor and caused it to get out-of -hand a little as Collins sought his own justice. Jeez, I thought Collins won it by one or two but I'm probably biased. Well worth the watch.

    Thought Collins just sneaked it myself although he seemed to accept the verdict. Johnson seemed the more talented of the two but was outworked imo.

    Nah. I'm no fan of Collins crude style but this fight was a tossup. Johnson was a sucker for the right all night and was outworked at times.

    No it was close for sure, I felt Johnson could have won for sure it if he waited on the gas but I guess he couldn't.
