    Default Clinton Woods v Glen Johnson - The BBC says it's true!

    Has anyone else spotted the article on the BBC website saying that the IBF have confirmed Johnson as the mandatory fight for Clinton Woods, and will fight within 90 days of 15 June.

    Personally, I think it'll be a great fight wherever it takes place, though I hope a British promoter wins the purse bid so I can go see it as opposed to watching it on Sky.
    It seems to be a win win situation really, Woods gets to clear his record and overturn the defeat he suffered to Johnson, and make a bundle of money off of it too, as it will be a big money fight.
    Johnson gets one last (maybe, maybe not?) shot at the title, a do-or-die final swansong, because if he loses, I don't see him getting another shot at a major belt.

    All in all, I can't wait.

    A bundle of money?? I doubt it will be anything close to a bundle of money, but it will be a great fight between to men who come to fight, i see another close fight could go either way.

    Three is little doubt that Woods has improved considerably since the 1st 2 encounters, the question is has Johnson declined at all??

    Makes for an intresting fight!

    Is it gonna be the same date that the Calzaghe fight was scheduled?

    At any rate I agree this should be a friggin awesome match, I think Johnson
    still has enough left to take this one, however i wouldn't be surprised if
    Woods takes it away!!

    Nothing decided yet Killer i think they have 120 days from June 15th, i think there looking at late August early September, i heard Johnsons people are confident of bringing the fight to Florida.

    Can you do me a favor and let me know as soon as you have a date, I will definately watch this as long as it's not
    on the same night as ODLH and PBF

    I honestly havn't seen Woods since getting destroyed by Roy Jones.. Some people say he's gotten much better, but I've always been curious as to whether he's filled out yet or not. Thats what stuck out the most to me about Clinton Woods, just entirely too lanky. And not in a Tommy Hearns type of way, more like

    LMAO!!

    Nah i know us Brits get behind our fighters, but in all honesty in his last 3/4 fights has looked really good, and i honestly believe this is a genuine 50/50 fight.

    It was 50/50 the first time... I reckon Clinton just nudged it... but I guess I'm biased... The second time round he looked lethargic... head was in the clouds.

    If he can come in at his best and improve like he has been doing GJ is in trouble

    Yup, when it comes to Brit fighters with titles, I always get the red,white and blue haze come down, and I always favour them, but I really think Clinton has it in him this time to put Johnson's arse on the floor. Whatever, I, as always (except when Calzaghe fights) will be happy with an entertaining fight, and some proper hard punches going in.

    that's the way to do it though...wait till a guy gets too old and then pounce on him....couldn't beat him in his prime so wait 3 more years....most trilogys are done inside of 2 years for all 3 fights....this guy waited.....to make it worse he got wupped in his hometown....
    It feels good to be back home.
