Glen Johnson we love you

Decent performance from Froch.

Not sure where Johnson goes from here.

So Froch beat Johnson because he was weight drained? Ok then.

So you think a 42 year old man can fight for 12 rounds after going down to the lowest weight hes been in 10 years.....

Still haven't explained the so called 'party-line', ******.

This wasn't an issue in the Green fight so why is it suddenly an issue now?

Did I not already explain? How long have you followed boxing? The effects of being weight-drained are much more significant in the later rounds, the Green fight only went 7, I highlighted this issue on more than one occasion before the Froch fight.

But Froch started imposing his will much earlier in the fight than that. And Glen began to wilt much earlier than that. It seems you're underestimating, or even totally ignoring, how big an effect Froch's pressure had on Glen. Watch the fight again. Froch landed a lot of small but significant punches on the inside and was pushing Glen back at times with his forward assaults.

Bottom line: Glen didn't say making the weight was an issue for him. Neither should you.

And that can be chalked up to a million things. Thats not the bottom line, Solis said Gamboa was a harder hitter than Pacquiao and Briggs said Vitali was a harder puncher than both Lewis and Foreman, point void.

So you want to just disregard what fighters say about their opponents or their own conditions? Fair enough, though I hope you employ that same standard across the board.

Glen Johnson is an inspiration. He's one of those rare throwback fighters who always brings it and never fails to impress, even in defeat. Damn amazing fighter and at 42 it makes it all the more impressive. Great boxer = Glen Johnson.
