    Who wins this one?
    I favor John but I see he is at -325 on the betting boards and that doesn't seem like a good value. The last one was a draw in which John probably should have won.

    Who will do better in this rematch? What are your thoughts on the first fight?

    Great thread but like always, fights like this will fly under the radar.. This is actually oneof the fights im looking forward to the most..

    First fight i had John winning and he'll do it again.. But this time, he'll make adjustments come in with better prepared.. Rocky doesn't adjust very well nor is he a smart fighter..

    Chris John will win a clear decision this time.

    First of all rumors say John had a flu, but I really don't pay too much attention to these rumors as we'll never know for sure. He might or might not fought at 100%.

    Second, he had to face a very strong pro Juarez crowd on a Golden Boy event.

    Third, he still CLEARLY won the fight, 8 to 4 is about the most objective score.


    He'll fight 100% healthy in front of a pro-John crowd (you'll be shocked), and I don't see another robbery coming...

    John by UD, 118-110.

    I favor Chris John only because I don't think Rocky could put on another consistent aggressive performance like that for two fights in a row. I'll be rooting for Juarez though because I think a possible future Rocky Juarez vs. Israel Vazquez fight would be expolsive!

    Oh, and I had their 1st fight a draw so I thought the judges got it right in the end. Neither guy really seperated themselves in that 1st fight. Those who had John winning clearly I think let the biased HBO commentary influence their scoring too much.

    John wiull win(again).

    Juarez just doesn't let his hands go and in LA with all the indonesians I think the judges won't give him slack again.

    John is the boxer. He should work the angles on what he learned last time around.

    I thought John won the first time. I'd expect him to be able to make better adjustments than Rocky and beat him by a fairly comfortable margin.

    This is the way i see it all the way! the only difference is that if you were TRYING you could score the first one 7-5 for John but that's iffy.

    Yeah, I like Rocky, but that decision was bad. John deserved to win that fight, and I think Juarez knows it.

    Will be interesting to see if Juarez can make any adjustments this time around.

    At the end of the day, I think John is just a much better technician inside the squared circle, and I like him on points by a wide margin.

    Juarez won't have the amazing hometown support that he had in Texas and John will be at 100% this time around which he wasn't last time. And also the ref was kind of helping Juarez in the first fight, but I still had it 8-4 for John.

    Anyways, John by easy UD, maybe he wins 10 or 11 rounds.
