It was a hometown cooking.
CJ has a pretty solid chin and great boxing skills. We should see him more in American TV. But I hope he gets a good paycheck next time.

John is decent, good chin, good defense, good movement....didn't do anything really great but he did lapse at times and allowed Rocky to stay in the fight rather than totally dominating him.
I called the screw job, it's typical of Rocky Juarez and Houston...the Zahir Raheem fight really opened my eyes to what was going on there and then the scoring for the Barrios fight also disappointed me which is why I was able to say "Chris John is going to get robbed" and have such confidence in my prediction.

I didn't think John got robbed at all. I was thoroughly unimpressed with his pitterpat punches.
And I think if you weren't listening to the commentators and seen that half his punches didn't land you wouldn't think John got robbed either.
Rocky whipped his ass. Sure John threw 199 flyswats a round, but it was weak and did very little damage. Rocky was killing his body and hurt him often.
I thought Lederman's score was insane. No way John won 9-3 rounds. It was close on the cards but John got beat up.
I feel the same way. Juarez is a tough tough guy with tons of heart and pretty good talent. But he gets some fucking gifts in Houston.
Still it was not a total robbery. Cus they did not give the fight to Juarez. They called it a draw. Which means the champ retains his title. So its just like a win basically, they just called it a draw.
"You knocked him down...now how bout you try knockin me down ?"
Well i saw the fight and i dont have a problem with the draw tell you the truth niether of them impressed me very much and way i saw it Rocky took few of the early rounds and then Chris took over then most of the mid and then died out at the end which is why i had no problem with the draw would not mind a rematch in somewhere that is not home Chris had it but him losing the 10 11 12 to me is what kinda gave it room for Rocky to get the draw because there were a few close rounds in that fight.
