people tend to disregard that this is john's first fight in the us. First of all, the style you've all seen is not his usual original style, way too flashy. I mean, come on, you'd want to impress people on your first worldwide fight rather than just a boring decision win , wouldn't you? I think that's the main reason why he traded punches with rocky a little too much, and his footwork seems a little too fancy. His style is actually a lot more efficient than the one he showed on that match, but, like i noted before, won't impress a lot of people outside of hardcore boxing fans (and won't sell much).

And please note the sickness he had from virus days before the match. I believe it took some speed and stamina out of him. I have seen some of his older fights (his japan and australian matches), and i know that he had better speed than that night in houston. He didn't even mention the sickness at all after the fight, which made me think that this guy is all class....

On a side note, from recent interview, there's a big probability that he'd go for whoever win the aoh-larios fight for a wba-wbc unification match.
