    Always appreciated the road warrior, hope he's smart with these paydays, so when he's retired he can live comfortably for the rest of his years.

        Thanks for all the support last night. I hope you enjoyed the coverage on Sky Sports. Credit to Johnson he's a really tough S.O.B!

          G.Johnson is a unique fighter. Dude always bring everything to the table, gives everything in the ring. I think Johnson is beginning to a look a show of himself, he looked to be slowing after the 8'th, had this been years ago Johnson may have won the fight.

            Glen has been a tremendous asset for the sport. Boxing gets its share of criticism, but a guy like Johnson epitomises the pure beauty of the sport for me. The guy is such an honest fighter and always gives his best and If this is his last fight then its fitting that he lost to a guy like Froch, a great fighter, another road warrior who also has the heart of a lion.

              Man, he ran out of steam, he was in position to win this fight. Ton of respect for Glen.

                  I hope he made good bank tonight,so him and his pretty wife can be happy into old age.
                  Glen can fight on

                  he was ahead in the beginning and stayed in the fight for the 12 full rounds

                  he looked very good for man his age, I don't think it's time to retire

                    Hats off to the Road Warrior.

                      Possibly, though Forch's pressure was also getting to him, don't forget that. Also, Johsnon is one of those fighters who gets better with age, long after his physical prime has ended. Years ago he was getting beaten by the likes of Clinton Woods (a pretty good fighter, but not A class).

                      Johnson is still a top SMW and will hopefully be able to prove it in his next fight. He obviously doesn't want to stop.
