    Stylistically, this is a bad matchup all around, but this is no slam dunk for John, especially in Houston. Personally, I hope John gets robbed in a close fight. It will be justice for the Marquez fight.

    Agreed on Juarez only losing in some tough bouts against the elite...The guy is no push over...UI remember when he srtarted out once he came in off the olympic team.....I thought he was going to be a dominate force in the sport.....
    It seems to me he has a style that really better suited for the amateurs. He's technically very good and only lets his hands go when he can land nice clean blows that everybody can see. I think that's why he does well with judges. When he lands, you know it. If he had better one shot power, he'd really be something. I don't think he gets enough credit for the Barrios win. He was landing the clean hard shots (albeit one at a time) all night, and I wasn't surprised that he stopped Barrios late.

    Great way to size Juarez up...I agree with the style comment...That has happened to a few fighters in the past who had great amateur careers...

    I think Henry Tillman fell into tht catagory
