On December 1st fans will be delighted to see an intriguing heavyweight showdown between Tyson Fury and Kevin Johnson. Fury is an exciting heavyweight, he has many flaws, but he can punch and he loves to fight. Johnson on the other hand seems to think he is a great fighter in his own mind but never really performs come fight night. He has a big mouth but little else. The two exchanged pleasantries during their last press conference, while Fury seemed to have been rubbed the wrong way by Johnson's banter, none of which seemed to make any sense, both promised fireworks. However, Johnson will most likely not deliver on that promise and Fury most definetly will.
What should happen:
This is a tough one to call. Fury has made no secret in what he plans to do, come at Johnson and knock him out. This aggression will inevitably lead to Johnson being on the defensive and if Fury punches hard enough, he will likely just lay back and do nothing like he did against Vitali Klitschko. If this is the case then Fury will probably just beat on Johnson the whole fight and win a decision.
What could happen:
Fury is not without his flaws as he has been knocked down by lesser fighters. However, he has gotten up each time and fought back like a champ. If Johnson has enough power, he could catch Fury and change the tone of the fight, which may be difficult given Johnson's tendency towards defense and Fury's ability to get off the deck and fight back.
Fury could also get frustrated at Johnson's lack of activity. Its clear Fury does not like him much and wants to stop him. The defensive minded Johnson could frustrate Fury to the point of him making a mistake or punching himself out giving Johnson the opportunity to capitalize and get a career best win. In my estimation it will be a one sided decision for Fury, but certainly has the potential to be a shootout.
