Johnson vs Fonfara tonight.... can Johnson actually lose?

[Hougigo]

I think Johnson is going to win, I think he's in a class above Fonfara despite his age and all the competition Fonfara has ever faced.
I think that despite Johnson looking sluggish against Bute, Fonfara is no Bute and he won't give the same performance. What I'm worried about though is they're fighting 10 rounds in Fonfara's stomping grounds. He's also at an all time confidence high and could take a decision over Johnson.
I think Johnson can win, decision or KO.... but sort of doubtful on this.
What're NSB's thoughts on this?

[Hougigo]

I don't think so. Johnsons performance against Bute is underrated, he didn't do as bad as scorecards are showing. Also, Glen never lost to fighter as bad as Fonfara, maybe other than that Joseph Kiwanuka who I never saw and Pole is not difuclt style for Johnson to deal with either. It's all about age, lay-off and injury now, but I think he should be fine.

Yea... I think that's what's in everybodies mind right now... the Bute fight. He didn't do as well as when he fought Froch and that's what's putting me and people off.
I'm kind of worried about a decision though... i'm never comfortable about these kinds of things.... I think Johnson should win by UD or KO late.
I saw the Findley fight and Fonfara seems kind of chinny. If Johnson can land what he did against Froch, this'll be a KO.
I hate having erie feelings.

I'd favor Johnson to win by decision, but instead of b1tching about a robbery again if he loses, this time he should go for the KO.

I think he's capable of KOing him..... just that he's in his homecourt... so he's gotta go for it.

johnson always goes for the KO, but you cant always get the stoppage especially when you are consistently fighting the level of opposition johnson is. i dont think its fair to call it b1tching based on the amount of times hes been legitimately robbed, and even when he is incorrect in claiming a robbery you still cant call it b1tching for the simple reason that its glen fcking johnson. the man deserves more respect than that even when hes wrong.

Johnson will get the best of Fonfara but it's gonna be an action-packed fight because of the clash of styles. Unless Johnson gets shot overnight he should score a 8th or 9th round KO.

Double post.

im worried,chicago has a really unknown athletic commision so they might pull some strange **** with the judges to assure the hometown kid wins

99-91? Really though?

I just saw it, Glen kinda looked old, he had stamina problems, but he schooled Fonfara anyway. It was awful robbery, awful...

agreed. johnson landed all the clean punches. fonfara threw alot, especially when johnson gassed but he was highly ineffective. johnson even outjabbed him from start to finish.

im glad glen is retiring though. hes clearly not the fighter he once was.
