Erislandry Lara Vs Delvin Rodriquez on Spike

[Spicoli]

Johnson looks like he is fighting from under his sheets. Very patient 1st for Beterbiev, thought Johnson won it,...but it won't matter.

[Spicoli]

Round 3. Hmm. Big stalking round for Beterbiev in 2nd. Not much put together, certainly doesn't move his head much either. Got snuck a few flashy cheap punches but Beterbiev in control

[Spicoli]

Johnson raggedy end of 3rd, feeling a few shots to the gut there! Expecting Beterbiev to close this out very soon

[Spicoli]

Beterbiev turned into a rock grinder last part of 4th, serious two fisted hard pressure but Johnson shook and twisted his way out to last. That sneak southpaw left is the only thing that looked good from Johnson.

[Spicoli]

Johnson starting to think about cold drinks and a hot tub, seriously hurt there. Solid closer Beterbiev, Johnson no legs! They should call him in corner

Corner putting it ALL on fighter about poss stopping it. That's all for the cameras and fighter deserves a braver corner...he is done! Into the 6th

[Spicoli]

Beterbiev just took the 6th off Johnson with some confidence back off a few fast one-twos. Corner again threatens to stop fight..

[Spicoli]

Beterbiev scores two brutal KDs in 8th, last one a bashing right off the temple to an already hurt Johnson. Very calculating and controlled 8th round tko for Beterbiev! Still think he needs work before Kovalev.

Johnson was doing the right thing going to the body but maybe should have thrown more. He was overmatched but he took Beterbiev rounds so decent stamina test if nothing else
