On ProBoxing.com I read about Rocky Juarez's next fight will be verses Vincente Escobedo (23-3-0) with wins over a past prime Kevin Kelley and Walter Estrada. Also losses to Robert Guerrero, Michael Katsidis and Daniel Ximeniez. I am a fan of Juarez because he shows heart and always pushes forward in the hardest cases such as the Chris John fight where he lost a close UD and a Draw. Same with the Barrera fights. Good fighter. I wanna see him get some more wins now. Who wins this fight? ( fight aired on TELEFUTURA september 23rd
Rocky is a likable guy and he was a good fighter a few years back... But he's pretty much done at the world level and should seriously think about retirement.

It's crazy how mediocre his pro career turned out. I remember before the Soto fight on a Vargas undercard they were hyping him to be the next big thing!
He's got power, punch resistance, talent, amateur pedigree, pro experience with greats...:conf Sometimes they just don't have the spark that makes a natural champion. :-(
I like Rocky personally, but he's one of my least favorite fighters to watch. The fact that he got dates for so long on HBO says a lot about how lazy their matchmaking has been. He should retire.
