That is good to hear. Los Angeles would be a good location for this fight.
I scored the fight a draw, and you need to remember something scoring a fight live and scoring a fight on TV are vastly different.Last edited by The Gambler1981; 03-03-2009, 03:24 PM.Comment

It was a good fight entertaining. Rocky had him hurt in the 11th round if there was more time he might have put him down. john moved well and countered landed more shots but I think Rocky landed the harder shots. 114 across the board doesnt happen often fellas but robbery did NOT happen here robbery would have been a 116-112 for Rocky or 117-111 for John. It was defintely a close fight and this goes back to the old depends on what you score on as a judge. me I am for the ower shots and agression. I like clean punches too. the ones that you can see the head snap back. T0 me Rocky was landing thos etyeps of shots in the second half of the fight. The first half and a good part of the second half he was still thorwing shots to the body. Some judges don;t give alot of credit for shots tot he body. Anyone who has been hit with a good body shot will tell you they rather get smacked in the face then take a shot to the ribs any day. Rocky was landing hard body shots all night long with that left hook to the body. I wouldn't mind seeing a rematch....LeftyComment

Good, I used to bash Chris John for being a protected champion but this really changed my mind, now I'm gonna bash Zsolt Erdei alone.Comment
