Glen Johnson vs Montell Griffin, anyone give Griffin a chance?
Johnson is gonna fight Griffin on Wenesday night fights soon. So anybody give Griffin a shot? I think "Ice" is pretty much melted these days and will melt under Johnson's pressure inside the distance. All Montell can do these days it seems is jab and clinch. So basically why is this fight even happenin, and do you give Griffin much of a chance?
Re: Glen Johnson vs Montell Griffin, anyone give Griffin a chance?
Not really no .
Glen evidently is on the slope . The rematches with Tarver and Woods proved that but I still think he has enough in the tank to see off a faded Griffin . Both these men have beaten Jones which nobody would believe if they had been told back in Jones' super middleweight days

Re: Glen Johnson vs Montell Griffin, anyone give Griffin a chance?
Montell burned his body out. When a guy that small fights at any weight, he has a small window of opportunity.
Re: Glen Johnson vs Montell Griffin, anyone give Griffin a chance?

Well, I got the fight, and he narrowly outpointed James Toney in a close, good fight, 12 years ago.

Rico Hoye ??? He looked like a prime Ice Griffin then.
I think he beats Johnson via decision
Re: Glen Johnson vs Montell Griffin, anyone give Griffin a chance?
Both these guys fought everyone in their era and theve finally crossed paths, but the outcome will be defferent now than it would be then. Either way, I like both guys, Johnson especially cause hes a true warrior and a aggressive style, but Griffin is a very crafty fighter and as good skills. I think he will still give Johnson all kinds of problems but Johnson will still press foward. I think Glen will throw more and be the aggressor but Griffing will land less at a better percentage. It could be a tough fight to score.

Don't say "via" that just sounds stupid. ;D And the way I remember it, Montell jabbed and clinched his way thru that fight and barely outpointed Hoye in a boring fight, then got robbed.
