yes excellent point just go in 1/2 hearted and after 6 minutes take a dive. Was he working on his tan for 25 rounds first in that sun?
Johnson claims that he was waiting for the money to be handed over and when he got the nod which was after 25 rounds he took the dive. I believe he was fairly beaten and he wanted to make some money in his retirement.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
