THE MACK ATTACK IS BACK ON ESPN THIS FRIDAY IBF ELIMINATOR VS. GLEN JOHNSON!

West Philly's Yusaf Mack will be on ESPN Friday Night Fights this week in a very important IBF Light Heavyweight title eliminator against war hungry veteran Glen Johnson. In a nut shell, it is do-or-die for the career of both fighters! This always makes for some great TV action. Mack has been considered amongst the best in Philly for years now. He has been on the cusp of a title shot a few times to no avail. Now, he has a new team,  new division and seemingly new dedication, evident by his current 4 fight winning streak.

Johnson, the Ring Magazine fighter of the Year in 2004 has been around the block and then some. He left a prime Roy Jones flat on his back and also holds a clean win over a prime Antonio Tarver. But that was then. At 41 years old he must prove he can still compete with the young lions of the sport. He also knows he must win or retire. The steaks are high as the man who gets his arm raised in victory on February 5th will be the mandatory challenger for IBF champ Tavoris Cloud. Cheers to ESPN for picking this one up!
