Calzaghe closes on Johnson bout

[JuicyJuice]

i thought johnson couldnt make 168, but on boxrec it says there fighting for the wbo/ibf SMW titles

Boxrec? LMFAO.

Boxrec is a joke.

Calzaghe will win by KO1. I am sure of it.

For someone like you, who is new to the sport of boxing. Try to do research on both fighters before posting something this dumb.
Joe will most likely win, but KO 1, is just dumb. Johnson has only been KO'd once by Hopkins back in 1997, and it was in the 11th.

"WOW" luvin this bout, Glenn deserves a fight like this,
Happy Calzaghes taking on a good fighter like Glenn this could be a great fight alot better than the Manfrado tlk and Green,
And ppl who ever said "Calzaghe KO1 round" haha urr a amatuer Glenn johnsons a class act been around the game for years beat some top guys out their nice record 44-10-2 number 2 man at light-heavy prob the hardest bout out their for him 2 take at short notice

Anybody wanna bet against Joe??? I'll give you 2-1.

glen johnson will win. I was surprised calzaghe not only beat lacy but dominated him. However, Johnson's a different beast. Since working with trainer Orlando Cuellar, Johnson's only lost once in those 8 fights. All against opposition better than any of calzaghe's. And that one loss was in a rematch against Tarver where Johnson had him hurt by the end of the fight.

Johnson, bigger than lacy & calzaghe, will be able to land punches and his defense will be able to protect him much better than lacy was able to. Johnson will throw punches even while being hit as he has while fighting much bigger punchers than calzaghe. He'll land his 1-2 and hurt calzaghe at some point in the fight. But calzaghe won't be able to "dress down in defense" like tarver and Johnson will win by knockout in the later rounds.

Something interesting to note. All of Johnson's last 8 fights have been against southpaws just like calzaghe except for roy jones (not sure about clinton woods actually).

Calzaghe will school Johnson...and I think Johnson is a good fighter...Calzaghe UD12

decent fight for joe, and a fight that will keep him busy, esp if hes looking towards kessler or tarver.
He will win if he prepares properly, but he better not underestimate glen, both tarver and roy have made that mistake and we saw what happened.

Johnson handled Roy and Tarver just fine, I'm sure he'll more than handle Joe.

what will everyone's excuse be when he doesn't find a way to win....'jjohnson is a bit older and out of his prime....blah, blah,blah..." I can hear it already


For some reason just about everyone that posts here doubts Calzaghe?!?!?!? Why!?!?!?! because everbody that posts that garbage never heard of the people he faught...open you eyes, boxing is worldwide
