Rocky Juarez thoughts...

[Bushidō]

His losses are to great fighters...

Humberto "Zorrita" Soto
Marco Antonio Barrera
Juan Manuel Marquez

I don't see how losing to these guys would shame anyone. Plus He's never been knocked out, that alone says alot.

I think he's a great fighter with so much potential who just didn't have a trainer to bring it out.

hes a very solid fighter but not a fighter that is great. He relied too much on power before.

Regardless there was no way it was a W for Rocky. Generous scoring would have it a round up for John or a Draw.

Juarez hurt him late to the body but by that point he was trailing on points.

Like I have said before I thought a draw was fair enough, I thought it was a close fight so saying that John won is fine.

To me in rounds 1-4 Rocky did pretty well but in rounds 5-8 John probably sweept them but in 9-12 John really started to fade while Juarez was comming on. It was an interesting fight to watch, in the rematch I tend to think John will do better and make it a somewhat less exciting fight.

I think the Draw given was justified. Juarez was coming on late and hurt John late.

I always liked Juarez, he's a tough dude with good boxing skills and good chin.

Ive been willing Juarez to win that illusive world title but i doubt it will happen against John, however i will be pulling for Juarez.

Juarez problem is ....................he does not let his hands go enough and the reason he does not let his hands go enough is because.............he refuses to throw a punch unless it has a 100% chance of hitting the target, if he does not see the PERFECT opportunity he wont throw, although he has been letting his hands go more..........recently.

Another thing is..........he stays in the confines of his technique he wont let it hang out.

Is that you in your avatar? If it is good to see youngsters on the site.

John deserved the decision in there last fight. The board was almost unanimous in this, John got screwed.

I agree with you.

I thought John beat Juarez by 3 points.

Barrios was getting the hometown cooking himself with Juarez.

and some say, Raheem did as well


Rocky's a good B-Level fighter with great FW power...problem is, as he's stepped up in competition, he's gotten very stingy with his punch output...he sometimes gets outworked...like the Chris John and Soto fights

Bernard Hopkinsitis, it's a shame when good fighters catch it.

Bernard Hopkinsitis, it's a shame when good fighters catch it.

difference is, Nard is ALOT more crafty than Rocky...even when Nard's only throwing 10 punches a round, he's still dictating the pace...Rocky throws his 10 punches and just gets outworked


if he let his hands go, he's got enough pop to ignite brawls
