Anthony "Eyepoke" Johnson

He’s sounding more like Anthony “Grumble” Johnson:

“I didn’t hit him in the head, I hit him in the arm. I don’t know why he would act like [that], I guess he was gassing. That’s the only thing I can think of, [him] trying to find some kind of excuse to complain. I know I didn’t hit him in the head. I thought I timed it perfect but I didn’t and that’s my fault. After him poking me in the eye it made a big difference. Then he did it twice and got both eyes the second time because when he swings, he jabs with his open hand and the right didn’t even hit me, it was just the open palm strike and my eyes, my eyes are burning like hell right now. After I hurt him, he needed that, he needed some kind of excuse to recover, but it’s all good.”

Bloody hell.

cos if that doesn't get a Rec nothing will!!! ;)

it’ll be interesting to see in future fights if he is just a can-crusher?! or can he rise to the challenge and skillset of the top talent.

I’m going to take Anthony "Crumble" Johnson each and every time (",)
