Here is my updated scorecard. I changed rd. 2 for Chris which gives him a draw, I think Chris scored well in the 2nd and I think he won that round after seeing the fight again just now.

You guys gotta understand why this isn't a robbery. The swing of 1 round, just 1 round changes things to make it 7-5 in rounds which in turn makes it a 2 round difference making it wider then the actual fight was.

I think the fight was up for grabs at the time of the scoring, John clearly did good early in the fight and in the early rounds all Juarez needed by the 12th round was one of the early rounds to win.
Was it a robbery? No, it probably wasn't a robbery. But I, like the majority of people who I've seen comment on the decision, felt that John should've won. I thought it should've been 116-112/115-113 (at worst) for John. However, being that the fight was in Juarez' hometown, I'm not surprised the close rounds went his way. He was definitely landing the harder shots, but I think (in most cases) John's workrate and accuracy trumped that.

I wonder how much John being sick before the fight had to do with him fading down the stretch? I'm definitely interested in seeing him fight again, and if Juarez brings it like he did last night, I wouldn't mind seeing him fight again as well (preferably somewhere other than Huston though). I'd like to see a rematch, but I think John will be trying to move on to bigger fights.
