Great news for John and im sure he's going to make all the adjustments necessary to NOT get jobbed this time. He's not going to let the judges decide this time around. Rocky gets TKOd..
HBO was so overhyping and biased towards John at the night of the Juarez fight, now we see why - GBP.
They're both GBP dumbass, and GBP doesn't have nearly as much of a financial stake in John as Juarez (since they're Juarez's full promoter but only John's co-promoter).
Really? Obviously, Brickass, Juarez at this point is a gatekeeper for GBP, that is nothing new. The fight was made to showcase and introduce John into the US boxing scene. He wasn't brought over to loose. Its obvious who was favored and expected to win
glad for John that he's getting the rematch since he deserved the W last time. It's just unfortunate that it has to happen to fix something that some less than honest judging caused. John will win, again.
I thought it was a pretty good fight to e honest. Especially as an undercard bout to Dzinziruk-Kirkland. If they squeeze Victor Ortiz on the card somehow it'd be gravy.
Even so, John never got the much deserved dubya on his resume. If it takes a rematch to right the wrongs then I guess I don't have a problem with it. It'll be interesting to see if Chris John tries anything different this time around. I thought from rounds 8-12, he got way too cautious and limited his own offensive opportunities. Let's see if he ups the aggression in the latter rounds to potentially put Rocky away.
[quote="TKO";3810253]This fight should be in Indonesia this time. John can't get a fair shake in the States even as champion, as shown last time out.[/quote] you've got to be kidding me. fair shakes and indonesia shouldn't be in the same sentence.
No, it was a good fight...just that I think it's fairly clear that John won the fight, and he'll win the rematch as well..I don't see how Rocky wins
The last thing John should do is underestimate Rocky.....it would behoove him to stick to an outside game while investing in the body every chance he gets. I lean towards a John UD but the minute he lacks focus Rocky will show us Rd. 13 of their first bout.
