U guys will see how the living legend in the featherweight division dominating Juarez and making Juarez ended his career in the featherweight division.

Everyone dominates Juarez.. Chris John will prove nothing in this fight. he'll just finally be seen by the american public. Im rooting for John though, im tired of seeing Juarez get all these title shots... And then when he losses he always has an excuse for them. "I wasnt motivated for the interim belt" (Humberto Soto)>>> "I was robbed!" (Barrera I)>>> "I will never respect Barrera cuase he boxed me and didnt bawl" (Barrera II)>>> "I would have won if i didnt get cut, Marquez isnt that good" (Marquez).

WBA featherweight champion Chris John may have trouble making the weight for his title defense against Rocky Juarez in Texas on Saturday. [details]

He's just allergic to fighting on american soil and television.

Juarez either loses every round or knocks you out lol...

So if he can't catch John, I hope that sets up John vs Soto. That should be the FIRST fight to be made if John wins.

john has proven to have a decent chin and a solid set of skills, although, i think he's been some what brought up soft and protected, he has a good work ethic, form what i've seen, and i've only seen 3 fights of his completely through, but, i think that he can easily win over juarez if juarez doesn't let his hands go. too many times juarez has become inactive in the ring and lets his opponent lead the action, which has led to his losses. in order for rocky to beat a guy/champ, juarez is going to have to make it clear that he's pressing the action and that he's actually taking the belt away.

i don't know about this situation about john feeling ill, not sure it it's a pre fight excuse or if it's true, or if it is even going to be a factor, with all that mess aside, the fight straight up is up for grabs basically considering both guys faults, it just boils down to who wants it more. and to state since i haven't mentioned any criticism of john, i know that he pulls straight back and squares up more than i would like my or any fighter to do. this ought to be a hell of a fight. the thing that would make this fight not good would be lack of activity and that i'm really sorry to say is rocky juarez, who i'm pulling for by the way, but, we've seen him do it before, we've seen juarez not pull the trigger, so.............. hopefully not in this fight.

Exactly.

Just like that fake Pongsaklek Wonjongcum.
