John Michael Johnson

John Michael Johnson

John Michael Johnson (born June 3, 1968, in San Antonio, Texas, USA) was an American bantamweight boxer. He briefly held a championship in that division.

Professional career

Known as "Bam Bam," Johnson turned professional in 1986. In 1994 he won the WBA bantamweight title by knocking out Junior Jones in the 11th round. Later that year, Johnson lost the belt in his first defense to Daorung Chuvatana via a first round technical knockout. In 1999 challenged Lehlohonolo Ledwaba for the vacant IBF super bantamweight title but lost a decision. In 2001 Johnson made a comeback and scored four victories, including a technical knockout over Antonio Diaz and a knockout in the first round over Augie Sanchez. Due to his success, he was named "Ring Magazine" comeback of the year. Johnson lost both of his bouts in 2002 and retired later in the year.
