claims he had a lot more than five minutes left in him when he turned the switch for a third-round comeback win overin Denver on Saturday. The visuals weren’t looking good for Johnson early on in fight that was otherwise even on the judges’ scorecards. However, “InnerG” came out with guns blazing in the final round, knocking Van out just twenty seconds into the period to score a come-from-behind win.
While Johnson believes he was never quite out of the fight, he credits his coach for flipping a switch in his mind going into the third frame. When Justin Hardy asked him to go all in for five minutes, the formerflyweight champ knew he was capable of that and more. Johnson also hailed himself as the best five-round flyweight fighter in the world, though he hasn’t had the chance to show it yet.. “But it’s time to hit a switch, third round… Coach said, ‘It’s time. It’s five minutes of work.
Johnson’s knockout win over Van marked his third straight triumph within a span of six months, which saw him rebound from a three-fight slump. Johnson hopes to be ranked among top 15 flyweights after extending his promotional record to 5-4. “Hopefully, I should be ranked. That’s three wins in a row. 14- and 15 haven’t done nothing in this promotion for three fights in three years.hasn’t won since 2021 and Dvorak is on a three-fight losing streak. Let’s get some guys that’s been working and fighting everyone like myself, like Nascimento vs. – they’re fighting. I think one of them will earn a spot, too. I think guys are earning their way up. Mick Maynard, man you got a lot of talent in this weight class, baby.
