    the battle of the outstanding flyweights of the ninetees..........the one that got away.

    i like too sharp in this one. he hit just as hard, but was alot slicker/smarter in the ring. and he was a southpaw.

    he would win a ud.

    Yeah another vote for too sharp here. Yuri will do well once the pace of the fight dies down a little and his more technical style comes to the fore, but he'll lose all too many rounds waiting for that to happen. 8-4,7-5 type of decision for Johnson, using his speed and angles to good effect.

    There was a thread started by me in the General Forum on this matchup. My choice would be Yuri by close Decision.
