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

[Light_Speed]

Had Fonfara winning by a point. Can't call it a robbery but that judge who scored it 99-91 was on crack.

[ADP02]

Yup 99-91 was a joke.

At one point Johnson was really taking over but he gassed in the last few rounds.

The old guy faded badely in the end and the kid swept the latter rounds. Glen needs to stop, I understand his nature but he needs to retire now. I think 6-4 in favor of the kid would be fare. No way did Glen win, he was out hustled and looked bad in the late rounds struggling with balance and his first steps got very heavy, never a good sign. Another round or two and he'd get stopped or the corner stops him either way he's had a great career and he's an example that won/lose records mean nothing with certain fighters. It just means you fought hurt/short notices/robbed on the road/fought solid competition/etc. heres a guy who was stopped (KO'ed) I think once in 70 fights and fought top caliber guys. He comes to fight even when his comp is 24yrs and he's 43??? Time to stop Glen, father time always stops us eventually! Ray.

dont think i ll watch this fight , looks somewhat interesting but a nonevent for me

[The Hammer]

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

You must be joking!

You must be joking!

Johnson himself thought he lost and he used to alwayscomplain about getting robbed.

Last night he admitted he lost.

Everyone at ringside thought he lost too.

[Guest]

Yeah, well... Maybe he did not schooled him as much as Krzysztof Szot schooled Nate Campbell, but he still took him to school.
People should seriously look at punches that are landing. You can not give fighter credit for landing on a gloves, forearms or schoulders...

People should seriously listen to fighters when they say they lost.

Not necessary. I'm pretty sure he will change his mind after watching it on TV. He was very tired at the end, it affected his feeling of a fight.
The same situation was with Proksa. After first fight with he had no problem with a result, but later after watching a fight in his home he changed his mind and said that he definitely won that fight.

Johnson lost. Scores were too wide, I had it 96-94 but he lost.

Basing on what? Just watch some rounds again and pay attention to amount of punches that Glen was blocking and you can't give figher credit for punches landed on gloves, forearms and elbows. It's not any different to throwing punch in the air.
Even last 2 when Glen was dead tired Fonfara was just missing so badly pretty much everything he was throwing.
Also there's no reason for me to trust those 3 judges. 2 of them I never saw before and other one I remember scoring Cory Spinks - Deandre Latimore fight for Latimor what was ridiculous.

I was in the fourth row with a pretty clear view. I agree Johnson blocked a lot of shots but he also caught a lot on the chin.
He wasn't offensively active enough to win the later rounds.

the feeling you got in the ring isnt always correct, things are happening fast, you are getting hit etc. when a fighter feels he isnt doing everything he expected or everything he prepared for he often feels the fight isnt going his way but it doesnt mean it is. just like fighters sometimes legitimately feel they won, watch the tape and realize they didnt.

i dont think johnson prepared to outbox and outjab the 6'2 opponent but thats what happened. i think bcuz he was fatigued most of the fight and unable to let his hands go or stop his opponent he felt he didnt do what he was supposed to and came up short. he still won the fight though.

i dont see what fonfara did better . he threw more punches but he missed the vast majority of them, missed punches dont score points for you they score points for your opponent in the defense category. he was aggressive but not effectively aggressive, he did show some ring generalship but the diffrence in defense and clean effective punches was staggering in johnsons favor.

johnson was landing flush shots all night, fonfara wasnt. simple as that. johnson was hurting him several times, fonfara wasnt hurting johnson at all. glen was just getting knocked of balance bcuz hes a tired old man with no legs, but not one time was he hurt or even stunned. the diffrence in quality of work was just gigantic.
