Mack Ripped up and ready for war!!!

[No Contest]

Good 4th round this is turning into a nice lil scrap.

Johnson is a fucken badass, he would have wrecked Calzaghe

[No Contest]

Oh snap! He just won't go away, lol. He may be in trouble against Cloud though he looks mean.

Good for old bones Johnson...knew it ended in the 6th (big mouths ) but not exactly sure how...awesome win.Mack looked tired and totally spent in that 6th round.

[No Contest]

I don't think it was stamina more of his legs weren't all there from the shots he was taking. Mack tried to mix it up and bang on the inside and Johnson ate him up.

[amat]

Damn Jhonson is pretty impressive.

I hate to say this, but this is the outcome I expected. Mack has never shown that he is able to deal with pressure fighters. I didn't see the fight, but I thought it would take longer than it did. I expected stamina to be the main problem facing Mack, but it sounds like Johnson just overwhelmed him. He'll be back though, he's still a very solid fighter.

Mack started the fight off nicely, using his speed and finding lots of openings. He was landing his right/overhand right at will for a while. His left snapping in first to set it up. Johnson keep pressuring and was jabbing non stop. And it was a very stiff jab. It looked like that along with body shots that he started to throw were beginning to wear on Mack by the 4th. Mack's output went down and he seemed to glide and I expected he was savin energy to come out hard. Johnson kept the same game plan, pressuring and it was tellingly wearing. And when Mack tried to open up and fire it was wild hooks. It came unglued then and he got caught throwing them and the end was not far off. The 2nd KD he was hurt and Johnson was not going to back off that obv.

I think Mack tried to fight way too close. He really needed more mobility and in and out against a guy like this. The distance this fight was fought was in Johnson's favor, imo. He had a target to hit for too long. Mack had better speed I believe, but needed to use it more effectively. But who knows. Is an easy game from the bleachers.

Sux, I really wanted to see Yusaf win this.

I really wanted to see him win as well. He and his team all seem like genuinely good people.

I expected him to start out well, like you describe, but even in the Henry fight I thought he started to visibly tire later on and Henry couldn't carry Johnson's gym bag. I did hope that Johnson might be in significant decline and that Mack had caught him at the right time, but that clearly isn't the case. The blueprint to beat him has been laid by other pressure fighters and Johnson is one of the best in the game at breaking down fighters with his relentless assault.

Mack will be back, but I doubt if his ceiling is any higher than a title challenger. Not that there is anything wrong with that, he's accomplished a great deal in the sport, but he's just not an elite fighter at this stage.

I had a gig tonight, so just got to this on my DVR.

First I don't think I've ever seen someone down form a body punch for as long as Landeros was! Rigondeaux is gonna be fun to watch come along!

I thought Johnson looked totally gassed after that big surge in the beginning of the fourth round, but I guess he got a second wind! Johnson did his usual good work to the body, but his jab looked to be a huge weapon in this fight. It was really crisp and accurate, and seemed to have as much or more of a wilting effect on Mack as the pressure and body attack.

Too bad for Mack. I said elsewhere that I thought Johnson was a step up for Mack. That's three KO losses for Mack when he's stepped up to this level. Maybe the next time he steps up, he shouldn't fight a hard nosed pressure fighter?

Nice KO for Paredes, and then KO #4 on the night for Jhonson.

Congrats to Joe.

FNFs is really delivering the goods this season!!!

Me either. I was sitting there being disappointed in how quick the fight was, what, 3 punches and 26 secs? Then seemed like 5 mins later was wondering about the next fight and looked and he is still down. lol damn.

Yea he'll be fun to watch.

I like Mack but he just is unfortunately not the most durable guy, he fought back with some real heart at times though. But mainly he didn't really move or do anything to keep Johnson at a distance and once he was there he was just a buzzsaw.

Good round by round A-mat.

Too glorious? And no I'm not going to quote that deeply hurtful post.
