Terrific fight, last chance saloon for two uber talented under achievers. I'd back Linares, he is or was pretty clearly a bit more gifted imo, but he's got that off button on his chin and Mitchell looked very good in his last fight, although against a guy not in the same league.

Don't think Joshua will struggle with Johnson, who is basically a sparring partner with no output. I can see why they want it for him as he's never gone past mid rounds and all, but Johnson doesn't beat anybody and is painful to watch. Would love to see Joshua in a proper crossroads fight, someone like Manuel Charr or Wach, hell BRiggs or Tarver even, just someone kinda dangerous.
