    I watched the Juan vs Juan PPV and john won his fight no doubt. He dominted the early rounds with his fast jab and angles, but ran out of gas in the 10th. Rocky did well to jump on him and managed to put a few good shots on the dragon. I had John ahead by 3 rounds no problem. Im slightly bitter wth the draw but would have been shattered if the home town boy got the desicion. :nono

    Great fight for any one who didnt see it, but no ware near as good as the main event.

    Mate it was a great fight....I had it 115-113 John...but if I was wrong in one round its a draw.

    Anyhow Johns looking for the big fights...maybe even JMM...hope not after today JMM stock goes up again...he is one tough guy....Diaz did so well but JMM came back just like the PAC fight.

    didnt see the fights but at least John keeps his belt.
    JMM is a gun, thats huge to KO diaz. i was reading the round by round and was worried after the first few rounds but sounds like JMM came on strong. hope he stays at 135 now.

    I had it 115 - 113 for John but he definitely ran out of gas towards the end of the fight.

    he should give up moving anymore weight atm. a fight vs nate campbell would be good.
    hope john gets another big fight straight away.

    John was running very low on gas towards the end of the fight. I was waiting for him to be put on the canvas in the last 2 rds. Good fight

    I just read fightnews report on Johns fight, hahahaha they are so bias. All the writers they all had rocky ahead by 2-3 rounds. And i also just read they are talking about a rematch already, but rocky has come out stating he will only fight him again in American. I think it should be on Johns terms this time, Indo with 3 indo judges hahahahah

    8-4 John, no way could it have been a draw.

    I had it 9-3 John. even when rocky was putting pressure on in the middle stages of the fight John was much more accurate with his punches.

    Chris showed he was the better fighter..He clearly won most of the first 10 rounds and I think most of the public see him as the winner of this fight.

    He did fade pretty bad and the way boxing is scored, it doesnt matter how dominant you were in the other rounds if you let to many rounds go the final decision can be close. I didnt have him the wide winner on points but he was clearly the man in that fight. A draw doesnt sit well with me but Rocky won a few rounds off him and in the end Chris didnt finish the fight with a wide margin seperating them IMO.

    I think he got excited in this fight and used to much energy earlier on..Hopefully he can get some big fights in the future.

    Yeah Chris won, and i got my bet back, but did not win...
    Imo chris will take the next fight aswell.

    But it would be good to see rocky win a title

    John 8-4 IMO but I must say, he looked like it was a struggle towards the end. It's a shame, I wanted to see him assert himself as the premier boxer in the division.

    I had 7-5 John & really couldnt see it being any closer.
    Could have been 8-4 too...
