    I have mixed feeling about Chris John.
    Dude is a machine throwing 2/3 punch combo's consistantly thu the entire fight.
    But come the last 2 rd's like clockwork he looks ready to go.

    I give John another 2 fight's before he breaks down.
    (If he fight's another power guy with true finishing power)

    As for Juarez, Retire bro... retire.

    I agree w/15rds aswell.
    But imagine a Katsidas going 15rds.... instant brain damage.
    (All the shot's he takes)

    He's a good fighter from the few fights i have seen of him but i don't know how he will handle the true elite.

    Like i said, i haven't seen much of him but one of the commentators (British commentary) said John may have left it a bit late to come to America. He said John's peak was a few years ago and that he may be slipping a bit. Does anyone here who has followed John's career closer than me agree or disagree with this?

    On another note, hats of to John. He was badly shaken at the end but was still throwing leather. Bloody stupid but incredibly brave.

    Agreed. Juarez is a known slow starter, if ever there was one. Zorrita, Margo, etc...

    Why would fans (other than Rocky Juarez' fans :lol:) feel hurt by this? 12 rounders are usually more eventful, boxers give their all in less rounds so it means more intense battles.

    Today we have 12 round fights, so you gotta win is 12 rounds. If it takes you 3 rounds to get warmed up, then spar 3 rounds in the locker room and come out firing in the 1st. Which Juarez did, without much success. John dominated him and decided to brawl in the last round which almost cost him the fight. No guarantee he would've brawled in the 12th in a 15 rounder, most likely not, he was in perfect control. Rocky just didn't live up to the expectations once again, accept it.

    I am totally agree with you BigBone! I gave john two thumbs up for taking risk in a brawled eventho his stamina was ran out n his left eye almost shut. And did you see his trunk? a tribute to his Idol..Arturo Gatti!

    If they were fighting 15 rounds instead of 12, John probably wouldn't have fought the same way, and he probably would have trained for 15 rounds instead of 12.

    rocky needs a title before he retires. this guy has consistently stepped up to the absolute best and always ends up falling short. he needs to take on a lightweight belt holder who isn't an absolute beast and retire a champion finally.
