John-Juarez II is coming!!!!

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]WBA World Featherweight Champion Chris John’s Agent/Advisor Sampson Lewkowicz, Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer, President of Golden Boy Promotions Oscar de la Hoya and Los Angeles Indonesian Consul General Subijaksono Sujono meet on Monday in Los Angeles, California to discuss the promotion of Indonesian WBA World Featherweight Champion Chris John and his upcoming rematch against Rocky Juarez. The bout is slated to take place June 27 at the STAPLES Centre in Los Angeles.



Long regarded as one of boxing’s most underrated champions, WBA featherweight champion Chris John showed the world just what he can do on the sport’s biggest stage when he battled Rocky Juarez over 12 exciting rounds in his United States debut on HBO this past February.
John, unbeaten at 42-0-2 with 22 KOs, thrilled fight fans with his exciting style, as well as his grace when the 12 round draw verdict was announced. Now preparing for his second stateside appearance against Juarez, John is about to receive a promotional push from Golden Boy Promotions.
Among the topics touched on during Monday’s meeting were the plan to promote John not just within the boxing world, but also within the large and vibrant Indonesian community of Los Angeles, as well as the overall goal of having John follow in the footsteps of fellow Asian star Manny Pacquiao in terms of crossover international cross-over appeal.


To help with these plans, John is anticipating a six week training camp in Los Angeles to prepare for his next bout. This will give the local media an opportunity to get to know the native of Indonesia better, allow John to get out into the Indonesian community in Los Angeles and to allow him to give new fans a chance to learn his story and about his home country.
“Chris John has always been one of boxing’s hidden gems, but now is the time to let him shine,” said De La Hoya. “His fight against Rocky Juarez was one of the best of the year so far, and his humble nature reminds me not only of Manny Pacquiao, but of fighters like Alexis Arguello, who are fierce combatants in the ring, but gentlemen outside of it. We’re excited to join up with the Indonesian Consul General here in Los Angeles to let the world know about this undefeated superstar.”

Only thing I didn't like about John in the first fight was his lack of body punching and his aim with the right hand but he did throw it every chance he had.

Well that's why this is being made, so he can get more of a reach to the audience here.

Marquez already has that but not enough to make it a big fight between the two, he needs John to also step in.

 

I never liked Rocky honestly, The only time I did like him is when he almost beat Barrera.
