they were sparring partners, but one didn't hire the other. they were both training for upcoming fights. Johnson was the best sparring Bute could find for Andrade II and Bute was the best sparring Johnson could find for his fight with Dawson. If i remember correctly, bute arrived in Florida and there were 3 other sparring partners there for Johnson, plus the one or two others the bute camp wanted to bring in for extra work for bute. haha once they started sparring together everyone else was fired.
we could watch those youtube sparring sessions and analyze and dissect them for weeks but at the end of the day Johnson is really hungry, he feels disrespected from the interbox team, and he is going there to win.
wasn't green johnson's friend too? ha, didn't stop glen from pounding him into obscurity

No doubt johnson has an iron jaw, thing is, does he have an iron body? Because bute is probably the best body puncher in the sport today.
You can have a vitali klitschko jaw, doesn't matter if a power puncher like bute lands that sick liver shot. You out sucka

LMAO cause Bute really put a hurting on Brian McGee (Who Froch Fcked Up) , Jean Paul Mendy (Who Bika Fcked Up), and Jesse Brinkley (Who ALFONSO GOMEZ BEAT).
Bute is a fan friendly action fighter, but he should have a loss on his record against Andrade and is always used to having homefield advantage. To say he is going to blast through Johnson that quickly when it took him 9 rds to KO Brinkley and 10 for McGee. Bute is going to have the advantage in age and speed, but Johnson has a bigger will and has only been TKOed 1 time and I dont think ive ever seen him get dropped. IF by some chance he grows old overnight then he could get KO with a body shot like Andrade but I doubt its from a head blow.
Johnson is a good guy he deserves to make as much cash as he can while he still is capable. He applies good pressure has a decent pop and has a good workrate along with a tricky defense. I like Bute to win a UD but hes going to have to be very smart and a win over johnson would be a good name on his resume.

But I agree, it will be hard for Bute to get a KO in that fight but with his power, we never know...

I am happy for Johnson because he is one of the few good guys in boxing that deserves every payday he gets, but I want Bute to face Ward/Froch/Kessler already.

Bute-Johnson fight, finally.
Originally posted by Megamasterking View PostI knew that Johnson had the balls to fight Bute, he's a warrior who doesn't fear anyone. Good for boxing. I was surprise when he refuse the first offer. It show's that Bute is making serious offers and that Kessler and Pavlik DID refuse to fight him for some reasons, but it was not about the money.
Bute should win that fight.
If the first offer was less than 350k,now Johnson accepted the second offer
which is more than 500k.So, it will be two big fights on November5 the both
being on Showtime-the fight Kessler-Stieglitz in Copenhagen before according
to Europe hours(7 hours difference) .I can't wait.

Very good fight. Andrade's pressure got to Bute in their first fight. Bute is a great body puncher and he is going to throw a lot of body shots. If you wanna KO a guy that never been stopped before and got a great chin then go to the body. Bute's uppercut is also very good. However Johnson has sparred with Bute so I think he's coming into this fight confident. You can never write off someone like Johnson. If he's able to have some early success then this fight could be very entertaining.
