Lets talk about Chris John

He also has 2 first names

 

ive always thought the same thing.

 

the only named fighter i know he's fought is Marquez

you gotta give it to him though hes got a big undefeated record

cant say hes not on the p4p list for fighting bums coz thats what calzaghes been doing

 

I talk about him often. I've also seen many of his fights. He is good. He is probably on the decline by now from what i saw in his last fight. Although he dominated his opponent and was never even hurt.

Great fighter imo.

One of the best in the game today but doesn't have the exposure to back it up.

I have to say after seeing many of his fights i consider him one of my top5 faves and also the most underrated fighter in boxing

 

How does this guy beat JMM so widely on the scorecards? JMM is considered one of the best boxers in the business. (quote)

he didnt beat jmm the judges did. it was a typical home town decision

 

did you even see the fight? Not a hometown decision. One of the judges was mexican i think. Or Mexican-aMerican. Jurge Garcia or something. And he had John winning clearly

 

Even without the two points deducted, John wins 8 rounds to 4, 7 rounds to 3 (2 even) and 6 rounds to 4 with 2 even.

I had it 7 rounds to 5 for John.

 

I had it 115-111. and yes i saw the fight.

Most people (if not all) who were watching this fight are JMM fans, and expected JMM to beat the **** out of John.

I don't think your board has many Chris John fans, and I don't think that manny boxing fans who are not JMM fans or John fans watched this fight. imo that explains the bias of the posters on your boards.

 

Were those guys mostly Marquez fans or Chris John fans?

 

I want to see this too, never seen Chris John !

 

Only seen him against JMM, to be honest. He beat him allright, but it was a close fight...good fighter, but very much stay-at-home and on-his-own-terms. Wish I could see more of him, esp. against better opposition.

 

i thought john won the fight close v marquez.

point deduction in about 11 was poor.
but it happens.


if you have marquez winning , then it can be by the same margin, close.

i have often said with john , out of sight , out of mind.

he just travelled to japan to fight in his opponents backyard, and is clearly a good boxer, not the most dynamic and a little saftey first, but it does not stop other fighters of a similar ilk being ranked.

he does not get the credit he deserves and people seem to dismiss the marquez fight completely.

you would think the facts speak for themselves, 10 defenses, hard to beat, been in with marquez and made marquez struggle.

this alone should make people think maybe the man is very good.

 

I saw the fight (might still be on youtube) and it was a terrible decision. JMM was countering the **** out of John, and even stalking him at times. It's just as much Marquez' fault for taking the fight in Indonesia though. He should've tried harder for the ko as he appeared more than capable of pulling it off.
