[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Madison Square Garden, New York City - In an IBF middleweight eliminator, Tureano Johnson (19-1, 13KOs) dominated and scored two knockdowns to win a twelve round unanimous decision over the very tough Eamonn O'Kane (14-2-1, 5KOs). The scores were 118-108, 117-109 and 119-107. Johnson landed 49% of his shots, and nearly all of them power shots.

I could see O'Kane and Johnson giving some other top MWs some good fights...OKane needs some real trainers....why isn't he throwing more straight punches? No head movement? He's in there hooking and slugging it out with a better all around fighter....New trainer alert. Call me.

Good win by johnson. He deserves a title shot he can give a good fight to the title holders at 160.

How the heck do you land 360+ power shots! but not KO the guy

Especially when dude is fighting O'Kane. Unless he is looking to cash out, I wouldn't step in the ring with GGG if I were Tureano Johnson.

Johnson landed 396 power punches, but couldn't put him away.

I don't think he troubles any of the top 4 MW, but maybe Cotto. Only because of size. Cotto still beats him.

Tureano = dime store version of James Kirkland, but with no power.

I do not want to see Golovkin/Johnson, even if it's an afternoon fight from Kazakhstan. Really hope the IBF makes #1 Johnson fight the #2 winner N'Dam/Soliman. Lemieux would wreck Johnson.
