Wait a minute. This the Kevin Johnson who normally gets slumped by prospects ?

Argh! Not sure which promoter dreamt this one up

Wonder how Gassiev will look and what weight he'll try to come in at. Dude got pretty damn big since his last fight. I know he's been in the gym and trimming down but hopefully he won't become too sluggish with the weight. If he still has his speed and snap on his punches, that added weight could make him an even more devastating puncher.

Was looking forward to gassievs debut at heavy but this fight is a letdown. Waste of a training camp

A lot of people saying this is a trash fight but it’s still a good test for any HW’s first fight.

He’s probably better than any of Ortiz or Joe Parker’s recent non title fights .

If Gassiev gets the KO, it’s a statement. If not, it will be a terrible fight unless it’s an upset
