Johnson v beterbiev is an underrated fight

He didn't have to?! Oh that's rights he holds the BBBofC British Light Heavyweight Title and Commonwealth Light Heavyweight Title ; who needs a 'world' title?!
Johnson hit the lottery if you ask me, that the other fraud coward Anthony Yarde passed on Artur Beterbiev and the same applies for Kovalev! Callum should be grateful because we all know he cant beat Yarde in a eliminator!
They were pushing to fight Buglioni for the British title, but when Johnson beat Buglioni and said he was willing to defend the title against Yarde, Gallagher vetoed it immediately. For some reason, he really doesn't want Yarde to fight Johnson.
Beterbiev vs Johnson is as an intriguing match, and if people knew a bit more about Johnson they would understand why. Trust me, he is a talented and powerful boxer.
He won Gold at the Commomwealth games and was being talked about as a possible future world champion when he first turned pro. But due to injuries and personal problems outside the ring, he has been very inactive, with only 17 fights in 8 years.
I don't think he's going to beat Beterbiev, because I don't think you can cross the gulf between UK domestic level and a beast like Beterbiev in one leap. It has to be done in stages.
But I think he's going to give it a real go. And with punchers, there's always a chance of an upset, so I'm very interested in this fight.Last edited by kafkod; 06-21-2018, 03:56 PM.Comment

Tell that to Anthony Yarde and Joe Gallagher.

Anthony Yarde initially felt he deserved a shot at Frank Buglioni without having to participate in a eliminator because it was the #1. vs. #.2 and even made him an offer -- Not that I believe any of these guys but thats what I got from world boxing news and the dailystar.Comment

'Sir' Marcus Browne decided to fight a more dangerous opponent in Sergay Kovalev, unfortunately Marcus had a minor legal matter to attend to, so Kovalev dodged a bullet and will now defend the WBO against Eleider Alvarez.
Drama Show always has a deck full of jokers, playing his game is like taking candy from a baby. I like to give the little fella the attention that he craves so much.
Its like playing with a fat little brat and pinching his cheeks really hard for misbehaving.Comment

Anthony Yarde is full of himself, he cant challenge Callum Johnson because he passed on facing Hosea Burton in a final elimination match for the British LHW title. Frank Warren did not go along with the eliminator because he was pissed that the BBBoC was doing Joe Gallager who trains and manages both Callum Johnson and Hosea Burton a favor by keeping his fighters away from one another so they tried to throw Burton in there with Anthony Yarde ;

And Frank Warren, who was all for Yarde vs Buglioni, suddenly changed his tune and said that Yarde isn't interested in the British title as soon as Johnson beat Buglioni and Eddie Hearn started calling for a fight between Yarde and Johnson.Last edited by kafkod; 06-21-2018, 05:27 PM.Comment
