Comments Thread For: Photos: Chad Johnson, Brian Maxwell - Face To Face at Final Presser

[Combat Talk Radio]

Chad has never been in a fight.

Maxwell also had 17 amateur MMA fights, going 10-6-0-1. So he's been in 26 organized fights in various sports at various levels with live punches flying at his face.

There's a big difference between being a bum pro fighter and not being a fighter at all.

Anyone can land a lucky shot on the chin.

That said, I don't think Chad has a chance here. He looks...drained.

Deontay Wilder already proved the point about football/basketball players.

so a bunch of these nfl/nba guys would b getting beat by slow fat white euro guys

MMA ain't boxing. He's done about as bad as you can do in non-MMA combat sports. KO'd 3 times, in the first twice & second round, in 4 fights. And he lost the other fight by decision to a guy with 1 bout of boxing experience.

Sometimes it's better to have no credit than bad credit. I'm going with Chad here. This Maxwell guy is so bottom of the barrel idk that it's gonna matter Chad is new to boxing.

If the Floyd exhibition isn't gonna have a decision I'm assuming this fight won't either. That being the case a 4 round no decision seems completely possible, but if someone gets stopped here it's gonna be Maxwell imo.

Tyson Fury is more than a slow fat white Euro guy. He's the man who beat the man. In other words he's the best heavyweight in the world.

Is it me or is something wrong with Leonard Ellerbe’s plaid jacket . I hope he is still making money because that jacket is dirty, not just stained , it looks worn and simply dirty . Look down the front of that jacket near the buttons In the pic where he is standing in back of picture where Chad is facing off with his opponent.

IDK anything about Maxwell other than what Famicommander posted above....and I don't knowif this is even a real fight.

Last time I seen a wide receiver make a pro debut in combat sports it was USC legend Johnnie Morton getting wrecked in MMA (at his former home field, the LA Coliseum...ouch). that wasn't an exhibition though.

Johnson is wearing the big coat , he wil be bigger than Maxwell for sure... he had a good build but relatively skinny as a WR, but he's gotten stronger since his retirement imo. He's a southpaw too; given his dimensions, if he really has been working his boxing stamina to adjust to his new heavier build....and brings a jab, I could see it....does he have a chin and gas tank for real rounds in a real fight is what I thkn this comes down to. I don't think Johnson will be rushing out like Nate Robinson, this will be a better showing even if he loses

For all those people who said USA would have a lot more heavy weight champs had they not gone into the NFL, it will be interesting if Chad gets ktfo

No correlation at all. Chad is 45yrs old and has already went through a brutal NFL career.
