In Jin Chi is a tough customer but I like Rocky. Could not care less about seing Vargas dance around with TBA. (TBA=borderline chump who will not derail the gravytrain.)

wonder what will break first in jin chis face or rocky's fist lol, that chi can take a punch, i dont think he will win though unless rocky wears himself out punching him in the face The korean has never being ko'd and if Morales didn't do it Juarez is not expected to ko him either. Juarez by UD.
