Thread: Carl Johannesson v Ricky Burns RBR - British Super Featherweight belt

Round 10:

Burns plants his feet and tees off at Johannesons gloves with some big hooks. Good straight splits Johan's guard, and Burns with more hooks, he's showing a but more promise now. Nice uppercut from Burns. Johan looks tired now, his body shots don't have the snap they used to. Two nice hooks from Burns. Johan misses with a huge right, but pushes Burns back on the ropes and Burns is feeling the shots. Johan is encouraged and Burns goes down under another barrage of body shots. Johanneson charges forward, and Burns catches him, and survives his third knockdown.

100-88 for Johanneson, Burns' corner are praying for miracles.

Fwock me!!!

Wish I had some type of satellite right now to be watching this....

Come on Johan......

Round 11:

Burns with a couple of hooks,Johan comes in close and replies with a few to the body. Burns is game, throwing more hooks, and a straight which catches Johan. Nice uppercut from Johan, who is showing that doubters over his stamina were way out of order. Johan comes in with some mroe body hooks, and an uppercut. Johan lunges and is caught with a Burns hook, who comes in with another couple. Burns looking to run and suvive now. Nice uppercut and Burns looking desperate. Some nice hooks from Burns out of a clinch and Johan hangs on. Burns tees off as the bell goes, and grabs a share of that one for me.

110-98

FWOCKEN LOVING IT!!!
Superheavy..... THANKS!!!

Round 12:

Burns' corner telling him to go in head down and KO Johanneson. Don't think he can do it. Johanneson comes forward and pincs him on the ropes with body hooks. Two nice uppercuts from Burns, followed by two straight shots as he backs off. Johanneson with more body shots, and he is still throwng. Good flurry from Burns, but Johan protects his head well, and the big body shots don't do anything for Burns. Burns with a nice hook, and Johan is finally tiring, looking to hang on, but Burns wont throw on the inside, and that's what he needs. Some big Burns hooks, and Johanneson with left and right hook hurts Burns. Cracking final round, and Burns is looking much the stronger with some huge shots. Johanneson lunges in with a punch come rugby tackle which takes them both down.

Burns takes the last round, some top action here.
119-108

And Burns will come back even stronger from this one. Johanneson throws 1300+ punches in 12 rounds, and deserves to hang on to the strap.

What a fight! Were getting so many great domestic matchups recently, good work superheavy

Sounds like hes been really busy.... Hope his stamina can hold up....

Johanneson looked tired on the final round, but maybe that was just cause he knew he had the win, and could afford to cruise a little. Official scores:

116-110. 118-109. 117-110. Johanneson looks pleased, and they share a good embrace, and they both seem very happy withtheir night's work!

Excellent, superheavy!

Thanks, man. You're a rbr professional.

Too darn right, there was a thing on the BBC tonight about MMA going to take over from boxing, but with this kind of action it ain't got a dogs chance in cage full of lions.
