I just got back from Las Vegas, obviously I went to the fight, I have to say that after talking to everyone involved with Johnson, including Lou DiBella, his promoter, the situation is grim to say the least. Last night I made the comment to Russ Young of Prizefight Boxing - that Johnsons' legs didn't look right after round 8, then after the fight, I watched Johnson stagger as he walked past us on the way to the dressing room. I again stated that he didn't look right, even though he waved to the applauding fans on the way by, he was walking like he was drunk.
I spoke with Max Kellerman for a while after the fight, and finally got to give him my condolense about his brother face to face, I also got to spend a few minutes with Emanuel Steward, and Larry Merchant, and Bruce and Michael Buffer. I only got to say hi to DeLaHoya, and likewise to Hopkins and Mosley.
All in all, it was a rather boring card, and there were more than a few boo's going out during the show.
I really hope Johnson pulls through, and my prayers go out to his entire family as well as Johnson himself. It was a sad night for the sport of boxing...
