      I bet you haven't seen the fight, so you need to shut the f.uck up. It was a damn close and I had Chris John winning it

        It doesn't. personally I had Juarez winning the fight. I gave him the first 2 rounds and the last 5.

        When you get past all of Johns flashy movement and pity pat combinations the story off the fight was how effective Juarez was with his jab. He was snapping John's head back all night, he was putting in body work every time John held him behind the head, he was putting money in the bank for the later rounds, and it payed off big.

        This fight was just like the Funeka Campbell fight. One guy doing all the fancy boxing, the other guy doing all the actual work.

          I see your point. I do agree that Juarez landed the harder shots but he seemed to just be plodding forward eating 4 shots to land 1 and that's why I couldn't give it to Juarez. I thought it was a good, exciting fight but I was disappointed in the outcome. But thank you for pointing that out. I'll have to watch it again because I didn't score it round by round but I felt that John won it comfortably. What a great comeback Juarez started to make.

            Very rarely do I ever say the word "robbery".. But in this case a Draw.. was plain theft.. Juarez.. won 3 - 4 rounds tops.. This fight wasn't even close

I guess it really wasn't a robbery when the judges could have been scoring it like you did.

              Thats what I don't like about scoring, because I came out feeling that John did better and won too, but my scorecard didn't reflect that. Its because most of the rounds that Juarez won were close rounds, while most of the rounds that John won were complete blowouts.

                the only rounds Juarez won were the last two the 2nd and the 9th and the 2nd and 9th were close

John was robbed, not only that he was robbed in his first fight in the USA, with the lowest purse in his championship career and was booed throughout.

                      Atleast everyone got to see that John is the real deal, I hope more of you pay attention to him in future.

                      Were you impressed by John or somewhat disappointed? What do you think?
                      I agree they robbed john of a deserved victory... if they rematch it cant be in houston.
