Johnny was a very dangerous rival because all his previous wins were via knockout and he has many indeed. i guess it was a very bad choice to give Johnny this opportunity. Anyhow, Abner is a very good boxer and will recovery. Regarding Johnny i believe he is going to defend this tittle successfully many times since he really is a very strong puncher and a Mexican boxer, never goes back.
yes but i think that Mikey Garcia, Salido and Chris John are better…
Agree with Mickey Garcia, he technically is really good and also a very strong puncher. However, I don’t think that Salido can beat Johnny in the near future
yeah but chris john doesnt even fight in the us so only mikey garcia and salido will be able to take the title from gonzalez and i think johnny might beat salido now but that would be a great fight to see.
in reality Chris John fought in USA in 2009…so probably he could fight again there…the problem probably is to organize a unification of the different titles…
