Nathan Gorman vs Kevin Johnson - 23/03/19

[HomicideHenry]

Kingpin at one time was a solid gatekeeper, but these days he's more trialhorse than anything else having lost 5 of his last 10. The only men he's capable of beating now are men every bit as slow as he is and/or limited.

I don't know how much this will do or mean for Nathan Gorman considering Dubois blew away in my mind a more meaningful opponent in Razvan Cojanu who already lost to Gorman by decision.

It seems the two men are equal in ability and worth--- but it's Dubois who is impressing the public with fast kayos. Maybe if Gorman can actually TKO Johnson, something Dubois couldn't do, then he'll get more credit.

But I can't help but think Johnson is far and away from the guy Klitschko fought, let alone the guy Fury fought, and the guy Dubois fought in late 2018. The wear and tear is becoming blatantly obvious. The only reason why Johnson is getting this fight is because he fought 3 bums (one he lost to) in the span of December in Eastern Europe, giving the impression he can still fight when that's not the truth.

How in the world does Johnson get all these opportunities to be some rising fighter's personal punching bag for 10 rounds?

Has he ever had a brain scan? If Johnson doesn't want to take his future health seriously, commissions should.

Here speaks a man that hasn't watched many of his recent losses

Seriously, Johnson is the perfect foil for getting in-ring experience for these young guys. Making a good living doing it. A boxing necessity that doesn't get its just respect. Another guy is Kamil Sokolowski.

Bollocks. Kamil comes to fight and pulls out upsets. Johnson stands in the corner doing a sh1t James Toney impression throwing 1 punch a fight. As much experience as 12 rounds punchbag work. He only gets these fights because he once fought Vitali

I agree that Soko is more exciting and comes to win, but the point is that Johnson provides rounds which makes him valuable to up and comers, like it or not.
