    I had marquez beating him 115-111.I watched john-juarez 1 today and it was no robbery but John just shaded it.

    He had a competitive fight with JMM, but he didn't win it. Still, he has very good all around skills. Good enough to upset the elite 126lbers. He's not as flashy, but he is very effective. I don't think he has earned his "Dragon"moniker. It should be more like Chris "The Lizard" John. Lopez and Gamboa fight more like dragons.

    He definitely lost against JMM but he has good skills. I wouldn't call him great.

    I thought he beat Marquez with the deductions (even in terms of rounds, but Marquez got two deductions, one of which was legitimate), and I thought he clearly beat Juarez both times. I guess it boils down to scoring preferences. At this point, he's pretty faded though.

    That indonesian bloke goes alright but lacks the right team around him to take him the next level. Calling Ariza and Roach!!

    John will lose to Caballero, Lopez and Gambao in my opinion.

    He's just on such an inactive streak, it makes you wonder if he'd be competitive with the young guns Gamboa and Lopez or the towering freak Caballero...

    Is JMM clearly John's best win, because personally i think Marquez got robbed. And he fought for peanuts too, double whammy!
