Chris John finally returns

Sunday, December 5

RCTI (Indonesia), 8:30 a.m. Eastern, Chris John vs. Fernando Saucedo, Daud Yordan vs. Damian David Marchiano. So here's another piece of the WBA's mess. Despite having fought earlier in the year and having postponed a fight with just a minor injury, former "super champion" Chris John was named "Champion in Recess", paving the way for Yuriorkis Gamboa to unify and become a "super champion" himself. Convenient, since you can't have two super champions, and that led to the fight between Barros and Garcia being sanctioned as a title contest. So John's title is still officially on the line for this one, and a showdown between John and Gamboa has been ordered for what I imagine will be the WBA's "super duper mega featherweight title of the universe". Saucedo hasn't lost since 2004, but only has one knockout in 38 wins, which I imagine will be helpful for John, whose chin has looked a bit shaky lately. Yordan is fighting for a regional title in his first major bout since losing to Celestino Caballero.

That paragraph made my head explode!

ONE knockout in 38 wins!!!!!!! Are you fucking kidding me???

1 for 38-the ANTI-PUNCHER!!!!!

John's no Marciano either!!!

hate to be technical, but the way his injuries have gone, he will not have returned until he actually makes it into the ring. Don't count him out on hurting himself between now and December 5th. If anyone can, it is John.
