It was an absolute belter of a fight for sure. Johnansson won nearly every round but it was always in the back of the mind that he would tire late on so the fight remained intriguing right up to the final bell.
I really Johannson, he outHattoned Hatton last night with a non stop relentless attack only resorting to clinch's in the final round.
Much credit to Ricky Burns as well, he's a game kid who hung in there despite chasing a lost cause. I gave him rounds 8, 11 and 12 which considering how far behind he was and the battering he took was really to his credit.
Got to respect Burns, only 23 and already he's fought 3 of the best British fighters around that weight.
I'd like to see either in with Michael Hunter if he moves up. Still not entirely sold on Johansson, I think he will get found out at the highest level, but you can't help but like the guy, nonstop effort.
