Seen Chris John vs. Rocky Juarez Fight?

[Howlin Mad Missy]

I was pretty drunk and fell asleep for the last 4 rds but from what I remember the ref was shocking, really looked like he was on Johns case by pulling his gloves down when he tried to hold on(which he was entitled to because Rocky was charging in) got to watch it again to check though...

I thought ref was pretty good. Rather than calling break every time they came together and stopping the action he just pulled an arm loose.

John seemed to be winning easy earlydoors. It was a bit surprising he went to bits so much at the end. Juarez finished so well i thought the fight could have gone either way - certainly not a bad draw.

He's probably been allowed to do it in indonesia, it appears to be a habit for him. Ref did a good job in that regards or he probably would have had to DQ him for repeating a misdeamenour. However at times he grabbed his arm as they were breaking which I found quite dangerous, can't block with that arm OR turn to slip when you're grabbed, he got clocked a few times flush from that.

i had it 115-113 for john but cant say either actually deserved to take the decision.

John fans have no right to moan about not getting a decision when he blatant stole a win off of marquez a few years back!!

I did think Juarez won the champiuonship rounds were it seemed John took it easy. Dumb thing to do if he did. But yes I did have John at a comfortable margin.

If I remember correctly, John was winning the early rounds against JMM too and he faded in that fight also. Seems o be Johns biggest issue.

I thought it was a bullshit decision and had it 9-3 in rounds to John. No question who inflicted more damage and pain come the end but as we know thats not how it works in scoring.

Actually it works how ever the judges want it too. I don't give much credit for pitterpat punches. The judge can score based on harder punches, activity, who is going forward or backward, etc.

Personally I don't like guys fighting in reverse and if they don't dominate they don't win the round for me. I like the guy making the fight. In that respect John didn't do so well. I can see it being close on the scorecards but John didn't walk away with this. He got beat up and nearly put down. He was hurt a couple times in the last 2 rounds and if you scored based upon who landed harder punches John wasn't even close to being dominating.
