Juan Manuel Marquez vs Chris John - Round by Round analysis
March 30th, 2006 by Kevin Perry in Boxing News
By Kevin Perry
I finally got to see the fight and it was a pretty decent little scrap. Many people have written off Marquez for losing this fight, but in fact I don’t feel it tarnishes his image at all. Well that’s if you’ve seen the fight. Marquez still has the ability to beat any of the top featherweights out there, and showed in this fight that he can be quite entertaining to watch. Chris John is also a fighter that really should be looked at as a fighter with some decent skills, and natural ability. Losing to John is no disappointment. Most American fans have not seen this fight and only heard reports, some of those were reports from media who had not even seen the fight and thus were reporting on a press release. Here I’ll give the real scoop. Punch by punch. Here’s my analysis of what happened in Indonesia on March 4th 2006 between Juan Manuel Marquez and WBA Featherweight champion Chris John.
