Glen Johnson vs Montell Griffin, anyone give Griffin a chance?

This is a good card, top prospect Joe Greene is facing his toughest test yet and he's doing well against a seasoned guy. He needs to go to the body a bit more but this is a good showing for him, very calm. Joel Julio boxes next.

Joe Greene won on the cards. It was a good test the person in front of him was VERY game, and he even backed up Greene a lot and was even able to pick off Greene coming forward a few times. Greene did good work with the straight left though and his opponent wasn't able to land anything, Greene slips punches very well.

Joel Julio is up now.

;)

Joel Julio has a jab :o

Julio put him down twice within the last 30 seconds and his opponent didn't get up the second time. I know you can't tell much but his opponent had very fast hands and he slipped punches very well. It was the uppercut on the inside that knocked him down the first time. The second time Julio had Lucero on the ropes, and Julio's jab makes that powerful right hand SO much better. He didn't lead with it one single time and he used to lead with it 10 times a round before.

He's been working with Whitaker and Breland and it shows, the jab looks very good on him. That was a huge improvement after what I think was a lackluster outing his last time out. He showed no improvement, he showed lots tonight.

I don't like Joe Greene.  Sloppy puncher; Wild hooker.

I really did not think so. I thought his best weapon was his straight left. His right hook I would want him to stop leading with because it's just not effective, but I didn't think he was wild at all.

Johnson - Griffin starts in a minute. Let's go Johnson but I like both guys but Johnson is my joker.

Griffin is having real problem with the pressure of Johnson, he is pushing off each chance he gets and his jab is fairly useless, Johnson is literally walking straight forward. Still, Griffin had a fairly good round by standing his ground a bit and trying to get in and out. Still, Johnson is hitting him at will.

Johnson is landing the jab at will, I don't know why he isn't using it all that much but I think he's just trying to wear Griffin down. This is a good fight though that should come as no surprise to anybody.

You have to love both of these fighters, always game. But Johnson really needs to jab on the way in a little more, it's landing at will and it stops Griffin in his tracks also I wish he would put that left hook to the body at the end of the right hand. He's done it twice so far and it's worked both times.

Man I never realized Griffin was such a backfoot boxer. Johnson though, why isn't he throwing the jab? Griffin is not really landing that much but still, the jab moving forward works so well. The workrate always picks up in the last minute.

WTF I HATE AMBER ALERT TESTS >:mad
