Ordinarily, this wouldn’t be all that newsworthy. It was a run-of-the-mill tuneup fight, around the same level as Pulev’s joke of a bout with Sam Peter last year. I wrote an article anyway for a very simple reason:
This was a $19.99 pay-per-view.
Kevin Johnson is 2-7 since beating Albert Sosnowski in a Prizefighter semifinal in 2012 and this is due in large part to the fact that he’s a fighter who barely fights. He’s literally not even worth watching in a mismatch because he’s tough enough to survive non-Joshua punches and has zero interest in offering any of his own.
Then again, I am not an economist and am currently sober, so maybe I’m just not looking at this from the right perspective.
