Well, probably it means, that he is still better than crippled and rusty cruiserweights.

By KO aswell, what is that all about?

Did Hernandez get injured or something?

He def wasn't meant to win!

I dunno what happened but it's still a decent scalp despite Hernandez having a long break

He retired because of the injuries. Haye's story taught him nothing.

Actually looking at Johnson he's not in bad nik for his age. I think in this one he thought "I can't hold this guy up" as Hernandez seemed knackered

Yeah, Johnson has got himself in reasonable shape. It would be nice if he bowed out with a good win, but he's probably just earnt himself a few more paydays.

Even with 6 years out, and former cruiser weigh, i didnt see this result coming. mainly because when i watch kingpin fight he generaly dosent throw a punch, so its hard to see his path to victory. But, thats a nice little win on paper for him, keeps him as that lowww levle gatekeeper rather than full tomato can status.

True, I was also expecting Hernandez to be bashed out after Johnson, by someone fresher and hungrier.

Hernandez must have gassed out quickly for Johnson to win by stoppage.

From the clip I saw Johnson was forcing a pace leaving the Cuban to gas out.

He doesn't usually put on that type of pressure.

Has to be the upset of the year - given there hasn't been much boxing. I was looking forward to seeing what Hernandez could bring to the table - talented fighter he was.

Wow.

I think he was properly held together by sticky tape when he retired. Great win for Kingpin though - he looked in superb nick

Shows what a bit of ambition can do, he has always been a tough MOFO

Aye he’s much better than his numbers would suggest, he’s just taken the option of taking a regular good payday in the away corner which is fair enough.

Solid chin and certainly knows how to look after himself
