Whoever said Asian Calzaghe - spot on, except that he beat JMM, and JMM is no Jeff Lacy(more comparable to Kessler i guess).
That Juarez fight was blatant robbery, I would of paid money to know which rounds those judges gave to Juarez.
Yeah. Somehow I knew that he was going to be robbed. John should have known better than fight Juarez on his home turf.
John should have finished strong and there would have been no robbery. Then again his team said before the fight that he was nowhere near 100% due to a flu or something, but that they knew he could still handle a guy like Juarez. They were right, but just barely.
You guys who are screaming robbbery need to watch that Juarez fight again and this time turn the sound off and make up your own minds as to who won that fight instead of letting the commentators sway your opinion. That fight was 6-6 as clear as day.. and I'm not the only one who think so. Neither guy seperated themselves in that fight so the draw was fair.
I'm thinking that's the most logical step for Vazquez since he's deciding to move up to 126. As long as he doesn't want a tuneup fight first, then the winner of John - Juarez would likely be Izzy's next opponent.
Chris John is very good and beat a bunch of good fighters in Enoki, Gainer and Juarez, which should've been scored at least 116-112. He's gonna beat Juarez in his 2nd HBO appearence, and since Gamboa, JuanMa, Luevano, Soto, Linares and Guerrero are all in the same weight neighbourhood and fight regularly on HBO, he could face real quality opposition in the future. You'll be VERY surprised to hear thousands of John fans rooting for their man in LA. Chris will be a regular in the US and on HBO.
