    it was totally out of character.
    either he respected bute's power due to past sparring experience?
    or i dont know why else.
    this is the johnson im used to seeing...like a smaller george foreman keep marching forward.

    Hes finally accepted his jorneyman roll. Expect him to fight to 45 picking up pay cheques surviving to the final bell against up and comers.

    From my personal boxing experience.

    Not landing + getting punched in the face = hesitation

    He apparently went into the fight with two messed up elbows and needed surgery right after the fight happened. I think he said that he would be out until February, but would return. I read this on ESPN's website.
