Chris John vs Rocky Juarez

If those two fights on the same night aren't ppv worthy, i dunno what is.

 

Casa-JMM yes, John-Juarez NO

 

I'll believe it when he steps in the ring. Unlike Abraham, who delivered on his USA talk within 2 fights, John has been talking for 3 years now. With the money he's earned, he can't hide behind Craig Christian anymore. Unless he wants to be another Calzaghe, he needs to back up the talk now.

 

Well now, is Rocky going to fight at 126 or 130. This is going to hurt him going up and down. It might be his last chance to win a title. I have never seen John fight. I hear good things about him except that he won't fight in the USA.

 

the fight is off now according to the Scene

 

Enoki would be a quality win for John, but still annoying that this means we won't see a televised fight of his until 2009 at the earliest.

 

That's gonna be a very good fight. Cris John's real baptism of fire after the JMM fight.

By the way . . . Cris John is fighting on JUly 5 in Hidalgo Mexico.

 

With as good as Juarez is I'm surpprised he hasn't won a title yet. I mean much lesser fighters win titles in other divisions.

 

Well . . . he fought MAB twice and JMM once . . . other fighters fight paper champions to get their titles.

See the difference?

 

I know, and that's the difference, Juarez fights elites while others fight barely top 10 titleholders.

Which brings into question Rocky's management. They put him in there with top guys too early IMO. And after losing the Barrera fight I don't know what the **** they were thinking putting him in there with JMM who is just a quicker version of MAB... idiots! atsch

 

Good point . . . but Juarez will have his time. Having 4 loses is not that bad. He'll win his first title soon. :good

 

Hopefully,... Rocky gets ragged on a lot for his losses but truth be told he's a very good world class fighter. Talented, technically solid, with power in both fists. Unfortunately his main detriment is that he's too complacent for that short attacking style of his. with that kind of style you have to be much more aggressive to impose your style on your opponents. Who knows if they can ever break him out of that complacency???

 

John fight in N America off? What a surprise.
