    Never knew that about Schwarz, shocking if true.

        Naughty boy, that Schwarz. If guilty, he should be sentenced to getting beat up and outclassed publicly by Tyson Fury once per week.

          We'll have to see, €89k ain't loads but it's also not as terrible as you'd imagine for a euro strap, and through COVID time they might find it's worth it... well Callum might, pretty sure Mikhalkin will be jumping at the chance already. Hoping so anyway, that's quite a nice fight to my mind. Mikhalkin's better than anyone Johnson's fought except Kovalev way I see it.

            Johnson knocks Mikhalkin out cold. He should take it.

              That'd be my guess too, Mikhalkin's not unskilled but he's not that sturdy and he can't really ****... plus he's getting on. Callum could pretty much just bulldoze him.

                Johnson imo always seemed like the UK version of Joe Smith. He's not super skilled but if you can't hold up to his power you simply can't win. If he had the right backing he could have picked up wins over a lot of fighters who were technically better than him.

                Actually, I'm kinda pissed we never got Smith vs Johnson.

                  Ha ha that's actually a pretty good comparison, man, hadn't thought of that but there's a lotta truth in it. Neither could be accused of any great subtlety but they're both capable and just strong enough to physically impose 'emselves.

                    If Johnson were to fight & beat Mikhalkin then that adds some serious coinage to a Yarde or Arthur fight.
