La causa de que Fred Johnson interrumpiera sus estudios y se dedicara al boxeo como profesional había sido la escasez de dinero. Hacía durar casi todos sus combates hasta el último asalto y, en fin, particularidad que todos deploraban al hablar de él, carecía de pegada y casi no tenía ninguna victoria por knock-out. A veces le sucedía que enviaba a la lona a su adversario y la gente daba muestras de asombro, pero como era algo poco frecuente en él, lo olvidaban enseguida.
Johnson had been unable to complete his university studies, because he lacked the necessary funds, and it was precisely this that caused him to choose boxing as a profession. That in itself was odd enough. A second peculiarity of his—without doubt purely professional—was that he carried almost all his matches right through to the final round. A third, which nearly everyone who wrote about him found cause to lament, was that he lacked the necessary power behind his punch, leaving the number of knockouts in his career negligible. Still, they would occur every now and then, causing general amazement each time, but since it happened so rarely it was always soon forgotten.
