Photos: Chris John is for real...

[DaxxKahn]

Absolute nonsense. I'll believe it when I see it. This title defense does nothing for me. Chris John is criminally overrated until he fights a decent opponent on TV. It's not even a case of insisting that everything be geared towards western fans' terms. But I'll consider him protected and irrelevant unless he fights someone in a reputable judging.

Chris John is nobody.

The man has been world champion for 4 years has a 42-0-1 record with a 50% + KO ratio....He may not fight outside Indonesia or Japan or may not fight the comp you think he should but the man is far from being a Nobody, Any fighter who goes out there and apply's his craft champion or contender, love him or hate him can not be considered a nobody....

Think before you post it makes you sound like an idiot....

Pretty easy to sit back on a computer in a boxing forum and make such assumptions

John receives 70 stitches!
WBA featherweight champion Chris John had to undergo minor surgery at the MMC Hospital in Jakarta, as soon as he arrived in Indonesia on Saturday night after his hard fought twelve-round title defense against the tough boxer Hiroyuki Enoki in Tokyo, Japan.

According to Chris John Management's press release, the doctors needed more than 2 hours to operate Chris John wound under his right eye and over his left eye. In total, John needed 70 stitches, and it will take at least one month for recovery. About the very tough fight in Tokyo, John commented that Enoki as tough as Juan Manuel Marquez.

He admitted his wounds were suffered due to Enoki's punches and headbutts. During the fight, John was injured under his right eye and over his left eye, while Enoki's left eye was completely closed. John finally won by unanimous decision (118-110 by two judges and 117-111).
