For Fred Moore to survive this fight and pull off a huge upset he must keep moving at a safe distance behind the Jab. Moore has been stopped in 3 of his last 4 fights and has been inactive for over 20 months. Glen loves to shoot straight right hands, a southpaw killer. Although both of these fighters fight out of Miami, FL Johnson is the hometown hero and has big fights on the horizon so he should enjoy a homefield advantage here. I think that the veteran Moore will be able to hold Glen off for a few rounds but will not be able to last the distance. While fighting southpaws is never easy Johnson has been looking pretty diesel these day and should be able to record a stoppage. Online sportsbook Bodog.com has the under on this fight at +100 for 8.5 rounds.

#1 World rated Light-Heavyweight, Jamaican Glen Johnson stays busy in his quest for a World Title against fringe contender Fred Moore in a 10 round bout. Moore is a tall rangy southpaw who can box a little and packs a solid punch. Johnson likes to use a spear like Jab to create openings for his smashing punches downstairs.
