"I wanted to get back in the win column," said Johnson, "Gavronski is a good fighter with a lot of heart so I take my hat off to him for going the distance with me. I learned a lot it this fight and I feel I still have room to grow as a fighter. My goal is to become a champion one day and I'm not going to stop until I accomplish it. My promoter Gary Shaw says he'll get me a big fight so I'm just going to keep working hard in the gym. I'll be back in the ring before you know it." In the 10-round co-feature, lightweights, Art Hovhannisyan (17-2-2, 9 KOs) and Jonathan Maicelo (21-1, 12 KOs) went the distance in an exciting action packed bout.
