cool i enjoyed last fight from the cherry guy knocking out that mayweather wannabe

[Gareth Ivanovic]

Stevie isn't the fighter he used to be, but it's good to see a native Coloradoan on Tv, even if it is just ESPN. Should be a good fight with Cherry.

[STEELHEAD]

i like cherry. him and john brown are cut from the same cloth.
he's come'd back from a dissappointing malignaggi showing.
has had issues with taking boxing seriously along with running
businesses.
if cherry has a good night watch out stevie!

[Mr. Ryan]

Johnston is in for a beating.

[edgarg]

I thought that Stevie had retired. He is too brave for is own good. I have both of his fights with Castillo on tape. I really liked his skill. Cherry is too strong for him.

Aye true that (though I'm technically not from Colorado. I lived in Littleton for about 8 years), still Stevie shouldn't be fighting. He's way way way past his prime and he'll most likely take a beating against Cherry.

[MANGLER]

Johnston needs to give it up. He's got no chance of bein a champ again, and it's sad if he's just fightin for money, even tho I ain't heard anything about him bein broke.
