Curtis "Showtime" Stevens was able to stop former unbeaten Tureno Johnson by a 10th round TKO last Friday. It was a very difficult fight for Stevenson as Johnson came with a perfect game plan and was able to outwork lazy Stevens on almost every round in the fight.
Tureno Johnson showed a perfect chin as he was eating those big Stevens bombs all over the fight and was still there.
As I expected it was not an easy fight
for Stevens. Johnson came close and started to work on Stevens body and
head from the first minutes in the fight. Smaller Stevens found himself
near the ropes with high guard on every round and had to take a lot of
punches to his hands, body and head.
I mean Tureno was throwing a lot with
low success rate, but he looked much better on every round. Stevens was
throwing much less but in my opinion his punches were harder and he
connected in much higher rate.
On the 10th. round Stevens understood
that the only way for him to win that fight is a knockout, and he
caught Johnson in the middle of the ring with a big left hook, and that
hook hurt Johnson a lot. Johnson was in survive mode and Stevens came
with a fury of shots and when Johnson was pressed to the ropes and was
doing nothing to protect himself, referee stopped the fight......
The fight is much looked forward to with Amir Khan stepping in the ring after a long time. With or without cable, watch Amir Khan Vs Terence Crawford live online from anywhere!
