Ronnie Shields, the trainer of Rocky Juarez, has confirmed to BoxingScene.com that WBA featherweight champion Chris John is unable to fight on�June 27 at Staples Center in California. BoxingScene reported earlier that John�felt ill during some recent training sessions and a physical examination revealed�irregularities in his blood. The fight was scheduled as the HBO�televised co-feature to Victor Ortiz-Marcos Maidana.

According to Shields,�Juarez would like to�move forward with a�replacement opponent. With less than a week to go, the hunt will be hard to secure a replacement suitable enough for HBO to approve. HBO is said to be interested in keeping Juarez in the co-feature position - if a suitable opponent is found.

why is Rocky Juarez still getting television time? there are far better fights/fighters that could be using this HBO spot.

What about Mario Santiago? he fought a close fight against Luevano and he hasn't fight lately, has he?

Risky, remember some unknown late sub named Humberto Soto? Luevano fight would be 50/50, he probably outboxes juarez most rounds but gets knocked down once or twice. I used to think he was special, but I saw him wilt against Martin Honorio, the same guy guerrero TKO'd in 1 round, & I dont think...

I think Luevano would outbox Rocky he is just a superior well rounded boxer with superior skill< I doubt this fight would happen though
