Re: Glen Johnson lost yesterday to a 5-0 opponent
It is sad, but there will come a point in life where a guy in the street will be able to beat an elderly former champ. Just the way it is. James Toney recently lost to a journeyman too and it just means it is over. Time waits for no man.

Have you watched him before? I was about to ask if maybe this turk is actually pretty good. Johnson must be well past it now but I would think he is still a tough test for any prospect in the division.
There was an obscure stream available for the fight, so likely a video will come out sooner or later for those who missed it. I hadn't seen him before the Johnson fight but during that fight he had a high output, brought pressure and had Johnson on the ropes for almost the entire fight.
He's not ready for a top test but I suspect he'll run through the likes of Skoglund tomorrow if you allowed him.
Yildirim is decent. You could argue to lose to Skoglund was controversial for Johnson, so I think he is a still more than capable gatekeeper for some of these upcoming prospects.
