Juan Manuel Marquez vs Chris John was no robbery.......

[spade]

if you happen to fight in a foreign contry, you must win convincingly, you have to KO your opponent to leave no doubt.


This could be one of JMM's off-night, he let John get close to every round and in judges eyes, it always favors the home boxer.

I had JMM winning by 2 rounds at least, if that how close the fight it, it can be given the otherway around.

When was this?

[spade]

After he turned down a Pac rematch.

He was asking for a lot of money claiming he is the bigger draw and not Pac. He turned down a million offer and fought John instead. He lost in indonesia together with his ego

[Chris Nagel]

A little counter intuitive you think? He turns down the biggest money in his career to putting everything on the line to fight for a fraction of that. Maybe he had second thoughts at the time.

I have the fight and seen it numerous times. I have no idea how Marquez lost that fight. I think it was a clear win for him. The point deductions were bullshiit

[Julius Rain]

havne't seen it for a while but i know jmm won that fight. john kept moving and moving not really doing much but jmm landed the harder shots and had john hurt on his bike back paddeling. I didn't think this fight was close at all. I seen it a few times and never had john winning more then 4 rounds.

Mosley did the same thing when he decided to fight Winky instead of Oscar a third time, made a third the money I believe, and you know how that fight went.
