Kevin Kingpin Johnson TKO6 Devin Vargas
Kevin Johnson showed he’s more than just a great jabber in closing the show against fellow prospect Devin Vargas, whose corner threw in the towel as the 6th round was closing. Johnson came in at a career high but managed to stop a man who has never been down, pro or amateur. Johnson’s 16 fight win streak continues along with his 3 KO streak.
Check out Kevin’s recent appearance OnThEGRiND to find out why he’s just as entertaining out of the ring as he is in it.
