Terry Smith vs. Kevin Johnson on FNFs

[Steak]

It starts at 9 tonight.

Kevin Johnson is an American 'prospect', but hes already 28 or so, and I havent been too impressed with him.

Terry Smith is nothing remarkable, hes been in a number of entertaining fights and may be almost at the end of his career. hopefully he can make this fight entertaining.

Johnson is a prospect for such a shallow Heavyweight division, so we should care at least a little. and at least FNFs will probebly have some info on Calzaghe vs Hopkins, so you really wouldnt be missing out.

other matches are supposed to be on Telefutura, anyone know anything about that?

I dont know what the undercard is for FNFs, maybe itll be something good.

kevin johnson better kick this guys ass or you can write him off tonight

What is important is that we find out who Teddy is picking in the big fight tommorow so we can bet the other guy. Although to be fair, he did pick Cotto over Gomez last week in a rare correct pick.

^^He also picked Floyd over Hatton if I remember correctly

Never heard of either guy tonight, but I will be watching

Kevin Johnson is a very good fighter except he hasn't shown enough power. People like Chris Byrd and Eddie Chambers have more snap on their punches than Johnson. "The Kingpin" reminds me a lot of Larry Donald.

Here's the funniest interview I've ever read, where Kevin says one of the other heavyweights "looks like a big monkey" and the division is full of "bums and crack heads":

Quick question: How is the hw division "shallow?" I've read numerous boxing writers and fans in recent years chastise the hw division and label it 'shallow' when if fact, their are many good fighters...

Klitschko, Chagaev, Valuev, Peter, Virchis, Dimitrenko, Gomez, and the list goes on. Take a closer look and you'll find that the once 'shallow' hw division is getting deeper with talent and good fighters...

yea, funny guy, hes supposed to have quite a mouth.

heres an article on him and this fight tonight... http://sports.espn.go.com/sports/box...joe&id=3349808

Im not too impressed with Johnson really...but I havent seen much of him. Well, if he is anything worthwhile, he better get his ass moving, hes 28 already and has little to no good wins on his record, along with the fact that he has a tiny fanbase.

guess Ill be tuning in now.

Edit: Hey! Roy Jones! and Amir Khan and Byrd are supposed to be coming by they said. interesting.

[King Koopa]

Heavyweight division isn't shallow, but there's no greatness there either...at least not yet

also...

ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOY!!

[mrpain81]

His jab is as fast as anybody in the division including Wlad. It's not as hard as Wlad's though, and he doesn't have the powerful right and left hook to finish opponents the way Wlad does.

Johnson has excellent defensive skills, though, he's never been hurt in a fight - in fact he doesn't get hit much at all. Some people say he rolls his shoulders like James Toney.

If he had more power, even average power, he'd be a real force in the division.
