    John vs. Juarez Rematch - Chris Signs Contract For 6/27 Duel

    BoxingScene.com reported last week that Chris John had agreed to the terms of a June 27 rematch with challenger Rocky Juarez. The two fought to a controversial draw a few weeks back on an HBO televised card from Houston, Texas. John wanted the rematch to take place in Indonesia, which Golden Boy Promotions [who handle both fighters] rejected. John was willing to fight him anywhere but Houston. This time the fight will take place at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California. John has officially signed the contract, according to Toni Priatna, the fighter's assistant manager.

      Fight will probably be a lot like the first one, only this time John will get a wide decision. Still would rather see John test himself against one of the big boys rather than rematch with a guy like Juarez who will never win a title

        Hells yeah! That was a pretty good fight (other than the outcome) and now John can prove that he is better or Juarez can have a better fight.

        Glad they made this fight happen. It really needed to.

            That was a better fight than I thought it'd be. John deserved it, but I got no prob wit a rematch.

              juarez needs to learn to let his hands go and not go for the big punch. he is too easily outworked by the upper level fighters, all the B level fighters he fights make him look like a beast, which he is in his own right, but he's never been able to step it up. in all of his losses it all comes down to the same thing, he always gets out worked............ it's something that is easy and obvious and can be corrected, i just don't understand why he and his crew haven't figured that out and focus on it during training. more than ficus on it, they should be getting in his ass to up his output, have him take a page out of calzaghes book, or any fighter who throws a lot of punches a round.......... juarez has the punching power, and chin, he just needs the output and angles......
