Former three-time world champion Mark "Too Sharp" Johnson was knocked out in the eighth round by WBO Bantamweight champion Jhonny Gonzalez last night in a non-title bout in Las Vegas.
Gonzalez, who is normally "Mr. Excitement," took a few rounds to figure out the crafty Johnson, but then things opened up in round four when Gonzalez dropped Johnson with a straight right. Gonzalez continued the pressure and dropped Johnson for the count at 1:08 of round eight.
Johnson's record now falls to 44-5, 28 KOs. Gonzalez is now 31-4, 27 KOs.

Man my boy "Too Sharp" got beat down. He was great in his day but time to hang them up and get a 9-5.
I think it is time, also. He has planned for life after boxing, though so he will be set.
He is definitely a first-ballot hall of famer.
