It might seem pointless now but not at that time.
When JCC sparked him out in 2 it was a shocker. Especially cause he had just stepped into world class as opposed to Roger who was a former Champ. and had been on the world stage for a couple of yrs.
Leading up to the fight Roger was just like his nephew. Talking loud and saying he was gonna destroy JCC. He was gonna do this and that....
Well, JCC gets him out fast. Then came the whole weight talk from Roger saying he had issues and blah! blah! blah!
Roger went flew up to 140 where years later it happened that JCC was highly ranked by his good from Sulaiman in the WBC ranks and Roger was the champ. A rematch because of the shocking win by JCC and the weight excuse.
While Roger lasted longer the outcome was the same, JCC won.
I don't think it was pointless especially because it wasn't an imidiate rematch and because it just happened years later. JCC was highly ranked and Roger happened to be the champ. The outcome of fight #1 was just the topping on the cake.
You know which JCC rematch was pointless?
vs. ODLH.
Now that was a pointless rematch.
