Kevin Johnson’s only exciting win I can think of is would be stopping Alex Leapai in Australia in 2012. Johnson used to get praise for his ‘Larry Holmes-like jab,’ but after Klitschko exposed him oddly the jab never really gets mentioned as anything special. It was all just boxing hype.

And his lnly exciting loss was a loss to Anthony Joshua...

I was surprised when AJ beat him up. I put money on Johnson taking him the distance.

Johnson has 15 losses now.. Getting quite boring, but you ca understand why he's matched against young guys..

He's not easy to drop. AJ got him to a knee, and stopped him because he basically being a punch bag.

He stopped DDD's KO streak.. Says much about him..

True, but this is such short notice, I don't think it'll mean a thing. Bakole stops him or it derails his hype train.

DDD, AJ and other powerhouses couldn't KO Slowpin..

The man just stands there and absorbs punches...

Milas beat him on cuts.

Looks like this will kick off the coverage on SKY so can watch the end of the football knowing that I won't be missing anything

I'd love to see Kevin Johnson's brain scans ranging from the Vitali bout to today, the fella takes punches for fun

Most of his fights could have been stopped tbh. Due to them being soo one-sided.

All you need to do with Slowpin is keep throwing combo that are sharp and accurate and stay on top of him. That’s the only way the ref will stop the fight.

The guy just doesn’t fall down.
