i scored it the way the 3 judges did...close rounds goes to the hometown guy...john had the 12th in the bag but he had to gas to run in the 2nd half of round 12
Juarez thanks god. Says it was a great showing and he thinks he won the fight. Chris John is a good fighter and feels like he gave up some of the middle rounds. Says that the cut didn't effect him that much. Said he gave up the middle rounds and finally realized that he needed to pick it up in the latter rounds. Chris John said he thinks he won the fight. "What can I say? I win by point but what can I say?" John says Juarez is a tough fighter and showed his strength in the last round. Says he's ready for anybody.
I had it 8-4 but then again I gave a lot of the close early rounds to John. I still think 7-5 to 8-4 is the proper scorecard but I'll rewatch it tomorrow and see if I might've missed something in my less than enthused state. Great fight anyways.
