The object of the game here is to beat the crap out of the other guy. So I got no problem with guys avoiding damage as long as they try to hurt the other guy. Basically I will always lean toward the aggressor. If they are completely ineffective, of course they lose. But if the block most of the other guys pitter pat punches and land their own hard shots, they get the round for me.
Didn't you ever play Ring King?![]()
Straight up here....I thought John won that fight 115-112. Juarez came on late and John got away from boxing & moving instead he was laying in and Juarez capitalized big with power shots,John was swawing tall in the wind.I do believe the crowd and familiarity of Juarez was a big factor.

I think John came on in the middle but lost early and late. Didn't give him the first 3 like Lederman did. He definitely took the middle rounds. But not early for me. I thought he was getting hurt with lots of body shots early and returning with jabs. To me he didn't do anything till middle of the fight. He landed a few good uppercuts and some rights.
I recall a similar fight between Gerry "FEARLESS" Peñalosa vs. Ponce De Leon... They said DeLeon was outlanding Gerry 2 to 1 but if you look how the fight goes, DeLeon's punches were block by Gerry's gloves and elbows while Gerry landed clean blows to DeLeon's face. In the last round, DeLeon really looked as the beaten boxer running away from Peñalosa and with a swollen eye while Gerry was completely unmarked... The judges? They give all the rounds to DeLeon...Blind judges...
In this fight, John was clearly outlanding Juarez and also done considerable damage on Juarez' face/eyes... John didn't engaged Juarez all the time but you can't call what he's doing as running away... Unlike DeLeon who ran away from Peñalosa...
