I had it 6-4 Fonfara. Johnson needed to win that 10th round but he was just totally gassed. He's lost just enough of a step that he can no longer effectively apply his pressure style against top 15 and up competition.
I had hoped that Johnson's poor performances against Froch and Bute were mostly due to cutting down to 168 and fighting such elite guys, but he fought the same way tonight. Clearly Fonfara had a lot to do with that as well as this was his superbowl and he was up for it and took some hard clean shots despite his pencil neck.
It was great to see Castillo get a win against a younger guy with a good record, once I remembered who Apoca was I figured Castillo had a shot as Apoca is tough as hell, but slow and not overly talented. Castillo dominated, showed great defense, didn't quit once the going got tough with his hand and got a nice win.
