Veteran Jamaican light heavyweight Glen Johnson lost a controversial points decision to Erik Skoglund Saturday night in Albertslund, Denmark.Skoglund, meanwhile, pressed on towards a possible world title shot in 2015 with the ten-round decision win over the 45-year-old ‘Road Warrior’, a former light heavyweight world champion and veteran of 75 fights.
The 23-year-old Swede, reportedly, took charge of what was a closely-fought contest at times, but ultimately came out on top as his youth and movement proved decisive factors.
Judges at ringside carded scores of 98-92 and 97-93 (twice) in favour of the Swede who improved his record to 22-0 and in the process, inflicted the 20th loss of Johnson’s long and storied career.
