What happened with this guy? He started off 23-0 and then went on a 5-10-1 run including 6 straight losses.
Pushed along pretty quick, back to back losses shakes confidence. Without confidence a fighter is nothing imo
Rocky is a underachiever, was a very hyped product from HBO witch a heck of a punch and chin, but lack of activity, cost him a few fight, the guy was a late round fighter began to put pressure in that last few rounds, that make him dangerous but if a fighter survives those rounds, the lack of activity in the first rounds cost Rocky the fights, He is now a past his best fighter fighting for peanuts. The same happened to Dominic Guin.
Was in a pretty good era, and it turns out he is just an average fighter. He got enough free ****ing title shots though, so I'd think his career turned out OK
Except Guinn's chin is still good... Rocky is getting hurt and dropped by fighters that years ago, he would of put out..... Something is indeed wrong with mr juarez...
Had a quick glance at his record. The guy hasn't won a fight since he split Jorge Barrios's lip in 2008. He was too one-paced. Never really showed a sense of urgency and always seemed to be looking for the perfect punch instead of trying to create an opening. Now he's shot to pieces after all of the punches and hard fights.
He got Soto'd all kidding aside he was like a feather version of Domminic Guinn, he never let his hands go, he had all these offensive tools and could take a punch but didnt take the risk vs Barrera he lost the first 7 rounds or so then won the last 4 or 5 and made it real close and did damage but again started way too late KO'd Barrios but was behind and was not busy probably won more on Barrios running out of steam from what i remember He had John hurt in the 2nd fight at the way end kind of makes you wonder if he had just let his fists fly
He was a higly limited fighter to begin with, then he started to meet the best in his division. You do the math genius:good
