This is just a money maker for the organisers. If they just skipped straight to the semis they would lose out on money that the next 2 fights would generate. It is just boxing politics winning over common sense again. And to think how excited by this tournament most of us were in the beginning
As for Johnson, I think he probably could make weight if he does it gradually enough, he's not a huge LHW really, then again he's very old by boxing terms but I'd still bet on him battering Green even if he is weight drained!
