Yeha, he might be better than JMM but still has to prove that fighting Márquez in México, let´s see how well he can deal with the handicap of the monster long trip/time difference and local arena support. Or go to Usa and fight Gamboa, or México and fight Salido or González... hell maybe Juanma in Puerto Rico should test him... or better yet, Hasegawa in Japan. Man, he is ducking everybody.

Did you even watch the fight?
Originally posted by edgarg View PostDon't get your hopes up. John is a very good fighter, beat Marquez by a very wide margin. I read a published report by a journalist who travelled there for the fight, but can't remember his name.
I just checked with Boxrec, and in the Maruqez fight the ref was Mexican, a Mexican judge scored it 116-110 and a Thai Judge 116-112 both for John. The other judge was Japanese and had a similiar score. He was well beaten. And for exactly $32,500, after turning down a MannyP return for $750,000, asking $1.5 mill. This was more Beristain I think than Marquez, according to the reports then, but he was foolish there.
That ref was also in on it, calling body shots low blows. He took points off for body shots. One of those so called low blows landed on the chest!
Chris John won really only one like 3 rounds. If I remember correctly he definitely won rounds 7 and 8 and I forget which other one.
Doesn't matter that a judge and the ref are Mexican. They were offered the goods away from home and they took it. Some nice cash to take back home, throw in a couple of hot Indonesian mamacitas and some funny money for a night on the town, and it's "orale carnal, where do I sign ese?"
