This isnt as good of a matchup for Johnson as he thinks it is.

He and Melvin are standup doods, and we all know what kind of power Melvin has. This could end ugly for Michael's streak...

@Gebe Agreed. It's hard to pick against Johnson as he has been on a tear but, Guillard is a beast and they have very similar styles.

Johnson likes to test his stand up lately. If he does so with Guillard, his little 'hot streak' is coming to an end.

Guillard is unpredictable so he can win any fight but look for Michael Johnson to make a statement with this win I think the Blackzillians have a good thing going for them.

It boggles my mind how unbelievable unpredictable this fight is. Two guys that are either ice cold or ice hot, for all I know it'll be a double knockout.

You gotta hand it to MJ though, it's easy to call out the top dogs when you've got everything to gain from those fights, but he's just accepted one hell of a tough fight where a win won't do more for him than his win vs. Tibau (if not less).

Dude's walking the walk and acting like a professional fighter if you ask me.

I have no idea who I'm picking for this fight ... I can't pick either if these guys right to save my life.

Both have KO power in their hands, but thats where the similarities end. Melvin isn't known for having the toughest chin (understatement) Michael on the other hand can take a tremendous beating as seen when he fought jury. Anything can happen here, but the safe bet is to go with the guy with an exceptionally good chin, and all it may take is for him to directly land. In this case it shouldn't be that difficult. MJ by first round KO.
