	Twenty-four-year-old Andrzej Fonfara and forty-three-year-old Glen Johnson each looked his age and the Polish-born Chicagoan Fonfara scored the biggest win of his professional career to date in front of his hometown crowd by outpointing the former-world champion in the main event of the nationally-televised ESPN Friday Night Fights.

	*"I’m still a relatively young 24-year-old in this business but I don’t have time and patience to fight nobodys. This is why I had no problem with accepting Glen’s challenge. What’s the point of fighting if you don’t believe in your skills? We all know that the Johnson fight could be decided depending on how good my jab will be, how strong and powerful my right hand has to be. We will fight on July 13, nobody punched anybody yet, there are no scorecards filled up. Like the old saying in boxing – this is why we have the fights – to find out who is better." - Andrzej Fonfara		*"I’m still a relatively young 24-year-old in this business but I don’t have time and patience to fight nobodys.

	*"I believe I went out there and gave one hundred percent. One hundred percent wasn't good enough. It wasn't one of those nights where I feel like I'm off. Sometimes you go out there as an athlete and you perform and you're trying hard but there's somethings that aren't there. That's not the situation tonight. I felt good. I was doing what I wanted to do. I saw some tings I wanted to do and i just couldn't get there to do them. So I feel like the end of the road is here. Father time is undefeated. He'll always catch up with you no matter what your efforts are or what your mindsets might be. I really cant's see no reason to move forward, because if I can't win a fight like this, then I'm not going to achieve my ultimate goal which is being a world champion. So, if I can't be a world champion, then what's the use. You guys are great. I was watching last week when I got the ultimate compliment by Eddie (Teddy). Eddie, thank you so much you don't know how much you meant to me throughout my career. You make me feel good. There's a lot of things people can say about you in the ring, but when people talk about the man you are outside the ring, it means everything to me. I don't care about the fighting part of it, but being a man and a person in society means everything to me. You recognized that and you don't know how much you cut my heart. I appreciate that. Thank you so much. To the boxing fans, thank you so much for all you have given to me, all the support throughout the years and ups and downs. I gave you a hundred percent of what I got. I hope it was good enough for you to enjoy." - Glenn Johnson in the post-fight interview with Teddy Atlas and Joe Tessitore.		*"I believe I went out there and gave one hundred percent.

	Johnson had some success early landing with power shots and jabs when in range, but Fonfara had too much stamina and too much speed and worked over a fading Johnson for the final four rounds. Fonfara connected well from a distance with jabs, followed by right hands and only allowed Johnson a chance when he chose to fight in close.

Fonfara connected well from a distance with jabs, followed by right hands and only allowed Johnson a chance when he chose to fight in close.

	Johnson had his strongest round in the second when he caught Fonfara with a few heavy shots to the head. Fonfara swung the momentum in the third and wobbled Johnson with a looping right hand.
