Johnson is pretty savvy. He knows when to try and when to coast. Hes fought a lot of rounds though at hw. Not good for long term health

Johnson having a bit of a renaissance in Europe.

This was my first long look at former cruiser Hernandez and he looked pretty awful, slow, sloppy, poor conditioning.

a messy fight but a decent effort from Johnson who looked well pleased with himself at the end.

also peter kadiru on the bill looked average against a useless opp

Yoan Pablo Hernandez To Continue Career, Back on November 7

Former IBF cruiserweight king Yoan Pablo Hernandez (29-2) plans to continue his career despite the upset loss to Kevin Johnson in his comeback fight in August after six years out.

Hernandez will for his next fight again be trained by Ulli Wegner, who worked with Yoan Pablo during his days as champion.

However, it must be said that Hernandez also had a stamina and / or conditioning problem for the better part of his career and it was evident against "Kingpin" Johnson that moving up to heavyweight didn't help this problem.

Hernandez' next fight is set for November 21 in Magdeburg on an SES promotion.

Former WBA super welterweight champion Miguel Angel Castellini has passed away after a losing battle against the coronavirus at the age of 73. Castellini fought professionally from 1965 through 1980 compiling a record of 74-8-12. He won the WBA title in 1976 by beating Jose Duran in Spain but lost the belt in Nicaragua against Eddie Gazo - a man he beat in his final fight in 1980.

Hernandez was unlucky that Slowpin woke up and KO'd him..

When you get KO'd by Slowpin, you should just call it a day really..
