This weekend, he steps up to a nationally televised (NBC Sports Network) middleweight showdown aganst Curtis Stevens, who is 26-4 but has been more active than Johnson. Here is what Johnson had to say to Boxingtalk: Benny Henderson Jr.: Tureano, you have a big fight coming up against Curtis Stevens [this Friday night on NBC Sports Network]. Can you talk about this matchup? Tureano Johnson: Curtis Stevens is an explosive puncher but he's not on my level. I have the better skills and everyone will see what I'm all about when we step in the ring on April 4th. I believe this is going to be a very entertaining fight while it lasts. We are both going to be gunning for the knockout. BH: The fight will be televised on NBC Sports. How do you feel about fighting on national television? TJ: This is a great opportunity for me and my team. Fighting on NBC will give me a change to showcase my talent to the world. I like to mix it up and take chances and that's what the fans want to see. I have to thank my promoter Gary Shaw for giving me this opportunity. I know together we can go far. BH: For those who don't know much about you, can you tell us about your fighting style? TJ: Like I said I like to mix it up and be aggressive at times. I like to throw a lot of power punches and I'm always looking for the knockout. If I have to go the distance then so be it, but I would rather have the knockout.  Read More...
