DC was talking mad trash, disrespecting the champ and even took a cheap shot at the end.

Jones had the right to shyt on him at the end.......He didn't have to apologize tho, but he ain't no real villian.

Its just like seeing LeBron trying to be the bad guy during his first year in Miami.....Jones might be cocky but he ain't that kinda dude

Wth ??!!)? I'm far from a jones fan usually but wtf give the man his due. He's the man in that division till he wants to leave
I agree with both of you. He's the best LHW ever BUT he does do everything he possibly can to win as long as he can get away with it. I don't think he eyepokes on purpose though.

DC was never going to win this match :snoop:
People believed the hype man. It's like Floyd at this point , people don't like jones so
Look for ways to rationalize why the underdog going to beat him like its a fairytale sports movie . Jones earned my respect his last few fights , especially embracing the heel role this fight

I doubt it this time. Jones boxing has improved since then. Gus can't KO Jones and he has cardio issues. I honestly want to see a super fight between Jones and Cain. Its a story already made since Jones just beat DC

Gus is a great boxer with excellent movement for his size. Jones' fight today with DC shows he can't strike with great boxers. He'd rather throw kicks, clinch and wrestle. Jones won't be able to clinch Gus like he did DC. He'll eat combos all day if he doesn't improve his boxing.

I forgot that cac Gus has to fight Rumble. :ohhh:

I've only watched one of Rumble's fights and he knocked out a Brazilian.How good is he?


Rumble strike game is crazy and know that he's up to his natural weight he looks strong as hell.

Jones will have tougher time with Rumble strike game, the way Jones ducks his head and makes himself smaller (I believe he did that to shield himself from DC overhand strikes) would get him in trouble against Rumble.

Jones would have the advantage inside and in the clinch tho.
