	Johnson is facing fight to save face \| The San Diego Union-Tribune
		But the Johnson who is to engage Gilbert Martinez (18-7-2, 7 KOs) of Sacramento at Pechanga is a different fighter in profile and approach than he was for Klitschko, Cokes contends.
		Cokes, a welterweight champion in the 1960s, said Johnson is, in Cokes' word, "scared" – not of any opponent but of the possibility that at the age of 32 he could cease being considered a heavyweight of consequence.
		Cokes has been associated with Johnson since 1973, when Johnson's father was taking his son, a one-time Canadian Olympian from North Preston, Nova Scotia, on a tour on which the Johnsons would select a trainer to handle Kirk as a professional.

		The appetizer to what would go on to be a night of early exits was a scheduled 4 round affair between Brooklyn, New York’s own Curtis Stevens (half of the self-proclaimed Chin Checkers) and Ezzard Wayne Cooper of Evansville, Indiana.
		The bald headed Cooper, who could easily be confused with former welterweight champion Curtis Cokes, did not come in with simply to be target practice for the two-fisted Brownsville (Brooklyn) slugger.
		In hindsight, and maybe even a taste of clairvoyance, it would be a bad move for anyone who stands in front of Curtis Stevens and decides to go blow for blow.

		Cokes, an excellant technician, likes a little bit of distance to operate from, and i think Carmen would certainly seek to deny him that, and i do not envisage any Hearns type thunderbolts from Curtis either (Not sure what they would actually avail him against Carmen in any case ?
		) initially Carmen may actaully be lagging on the scorecards, but come the halfway stage Carmen may well have caught up, ultimately Curtis might have to slip into survival mode and see going the distence as a moral victory of sorts.
