Chris John

[TheBigLug]

The Chris John v JMM fight isn't the robbery that people make it out to be. Probably just people that have never even watched the fight, just repeating what they read on forums.

It was a very close fight, John was the fresher of the two towards the end and probably took the "Championship rounds". JMM did get some points deducted for low blows, twice in fact. one of the times was justified though if i remember correctly.

It was a close fight for sure, it was one of them that could've gone either way, plenty of rounds that weren't easy to score. Anybody that says it was a robbery probably never even saw it.

At people calling robbery. I'm sure they just hear someone say it and just repeat it without even watching the fight.

I saw this fight a while after it happened, def not in the same year, but it is obtainable, it's not like some rare, black and white 1930s fight. The ref in that fight was in on it, it seemed. I could only find the fight in Indonesian language (i'm guessing that's the lang). JMM won around 9 rounds imo. John was an okay fighter, he was competitive even though his resume is full of no names.

I don't think people actually watch the Chris John v JMM fight. People just read that it was a robbery and they jump on the bandwagon and run with it. I saw that fight and had zero problem with John getting the decision.

As indonesian who follow his entire career, i think his most memorable moment is when he K.O muhammad alfaridzi for the indonesian FW belt. Both are rising stars in indonesia, both debut in the same night and all indonesian boxing pundits predict this two will be rival in the years to come. That fight was the first real test for both of them. Very orthodox john Vs the talented, Flashy and hard hitting Alfaridzi. It was incredible fight John was K.D two times in the first round but manage to survive and cameback and eventually K.O gassed alfaridzi in round 12th. After that fight their career took different turns, chris john eventually became World champion but Alfaridzi career get worse riddle with off-ring substance abuse which eventually lead to his tragic death inside the ring.

You can watch their fight in youtube, it was really good fight. i'm on my phone, if someaone embed it, it will be appreciated.

What do you remember about Chris John?

Good girth but needed to trim his fingernails...

I thought he beat Marquez fair and square. The first fight with Rocky Juarez fight was much closer but I gave it to Juarez.

Because you don't know **** about boxing.

You are from England so you are familiar with local decisions.

Exactly.

I have 8 rounds to Márquez clearly.

what is justified? its all subjective. if you compare marquez to ward, ward would have had ten points deducted if he was fighting john.
