Kevin Johnson vs. Odlanier Solis on Aug 15

[aristotlemoses]

I got to see Kevin Johnson about 2 years ago in Connecticut on the undercard of the Tarver v. Muriqi card. I immediately posted on boxingscene.com about how he was the best American Heavyweight prospect I had seen. I was mocked, ridiculed, made fun of, etc.. If he wins then I will have been correct (for once in my sad life, lol)

Still won't be better than Chambers though. I saw Johnson whoop up on Bruce Seldon, wasn't like a great achievement but it was entertaining. I think Johnson wins by KO, even though is percentage isn't high...I believe he has it...he just doesn't use it. But then again I really don't know much about Solis and how good his chin is.

Unless Johnson's gotten a lot better since I saw him he couldn't KO anything. He has an Ali-like jab but I think I could through a better hook or uppercut. In today's Heavyweight division that's enough to be a champ.

This is a very interesting matchup on the HBO PPV August 15, with both stepping up and facing their first world-class opponent.

(source: ESPN, it's also on the BoxRec schedule)

It's a Top Rank PPV, not a HBO PPV. There's a BIG difference.

But according to other sources, it is indeed a Top Rank PPV, so I stand corrected.

I've seen about six or seven of his fights. Johnson has a great jab, good speed, excellent lateral movement, and good reflexes.

By the way Joe Strong, I've just posted Denis Boytsov's first 20 fights in our video's section if you want to download them evaluate an up-and-coming heavyweight.

Thanks but I'm on an iPhone & to be honest I don't even know how to post my own threads & checking my messages is an adventure.I need a laptop.I'm primative & still order DVDs from websites.I make my own career DVDs of each boxer.I put everything in order on 6 hour disks so I can watch on my DVD player.

I agree wit the fact Odlanier needs to come in lighter, like 30lbs lighter ya kno? But dude packs a big punch and how can you not respect for his first fight he fought a guy 32-7! Dog that's bold as hell. First professional fight, man not alot of the greats did that. Neither man has been tested in the ring and I see Johnson by decision but maybe one of them get's real exposed here.

Johnson doesn't have an Ali-like jab...no way.
