    John was holding and pitty pat.... Rocky were way harder and stronger...
    That was what I saw in the fight. I thought it was a close competitive fight, that really could go either way depending on what you prefer.

    I have no problem with people saying John won at all, but I thought a draw was fair.

    I can not see it as a robbery at all, as John in no way won 9 or 10 rounds clearly. He possibly won 8 and some of them were atleast fairly close and competitive.

      Yeah, but being there you could really hear and feel the punches that Rocky waslanding... I could see why the judges would be inclined to give a round to Juarez....


      He had a puffed up bruised left eye I think... But there were some headbutts along the way that they showed replays of during the rounds....

        More of a hometown decision then a robbery. Kind of like JMM-John, but JMM clearly won the John fight. John was game in it.

        I had it 115-113 for John, but I could MAYBE see a draw. I applaud Juarez though for giving it his all for once and John for being A LOT more active then he normally is.

          Naw not 8... at the worst Rocky deserved a draw..... There was effective aggressiveness..... There was power.... There was him cutting off the ring... He did alot of good things....

          The judges had to be swayed by the amount of power and body shots that Rocky would hit John with.....

          I havent seen it on TV, but I honest cant say that I thought John won.... You could feel and see the expressions on John's face and hear the thud.... Being ringside, I think thats what the judges went by, and not the holding, running, pitty pat punches of John....

            chris john is good... he made juarez eat his jab with painful regularity... but this robbery is no bigger than what the judges gave casamayor in his fight against sta cruz... i hope chris john wins his next fight by KO...

                John was doing very nice work on the inside that would maybe be hard to see outside. He provided very nice angles.

                The ref in that fight was terrible though. Not really in bias, but he would always slap the hand down and pull them apart and the fighter getting pulled (normally John) would have the other person (normally juarez) throw a punch on the break. It was terrible reffering.

                  I thought Rocky did great he really impressed me. I have been fighting all night about this though.

                  I liked the work Jaurez was doing. Go dig up the fight thread lol I was giving him credit the whole time and no one would listen to me.

                  This was the best Rocky ever looked to me with the possible exception of the first Barrera fight.

                  I loved the fight, I was very entertained by it. I thought it was a close competitve fight that really could have gone either way depending on what you like.

                  When you watch it on TV you may want to listen with the sound off HBO was cheerleading heavily for John up until the last few rounds.

                    What fight were you watchin dude? Rocky's face was busted up... John is a really good boxer that threw very fluid, skilled variety of punches . Compubox had it like we saw it... Clear robbery....

                      Punchstat numbers are not how you score a fight. They should be disregarded.

                      Also scoring on tv and live at the arena are vastly different. HTOWN was there live~.
