I think Stevie J can win a decision. He knew how to get to the body, and Jimmy Paul could leave himself open to body punishment, as Greg Haugen showed us. It will be dangerous for Johnston to be in Paul's striking zone for a whole fight though, so I wouldn't discount Paul' chances, but I do think that barring a fight turning KO that Johnston should get a 9-6, or 8-4 type of decision.
Paul should get soundly outworked in a decent technical fight.he was just too methodical and low output for a busier fundamentally sound technician like Johnston. then again i didn't think Johnston was the best ring general around and he could make things tough against lesser talents like Bazan and castillo by fighting the wrong fight. Still if Johnston is at, or near his best i favour him to get the decision.
