Dereck Chisora now faces Kevin"Punchbag" Johnson

[J_C]

Yes but is Johnson any worse then that Ukrainian he was lined up against in the first place? It should have just been Fury v Chisora straight away

Yes he's worse. He doesn't provide anything in terms of offence and he has nothing to trouble anyone. At least with Rudenko he was undefeated so he was an unknown entity. Pala was giving Chisora a little difficulty and he wasn't exactly known. At least he tried. Johnson does not try. Plus he's coming of a crap performance vs. Christian Hammer.

I didnt see the Hammer fight but wasnt if close?

I had Johnson winning 96-94 but the fight was fucking awful.

Kevin johnson got jobbed against hammer but it's his fault for not fighting with more authority in hostile territory..

He will probably get outworked by chisora too. What a shit fight.

Johnson is just a durable journeyman .

Just watched an interview with Chisora and he's really not keen on Johnson as an opponent. Saying he's tricky and the crowd will boo.

I doubt this next bit very much BUT IF Johnson has kept in shape, been training since his last fight, this has the potential to be a banana skin for the the whole Fury v Chisora rematch. Chisora had had some shaky moments in his last couple of fights against much lesser skilled men.

Its 3 weeks away. If Johnson hasn't been in training, its going to be terrible because he will spoil and back peddle more than usual to last the distance. Don Charles has said that Chisora will force the issue to try and make it exciting.

Frank Warren is a god of a promoter if you are one of his fighters.

I agree. Look what he did for Ricky Hatton.. he marketed a tough journeyman level fighter into a superstar!

Hatton promptly left as did Khan and Naz and look what happened to them.
