    Its amazing how quickly Alexander Gustafsson has fallen off since beating Jan and Glover back-to-back. One of the greatest fighters to never win a title.

      Gus fell off after the Glover win (also the last win of his career to date), after that he start to lose in worse and worse fashion. The Anthony Smith loss was where everyone watching could tell Alex was completely washed, he should have stayed retired.

Hell Is real and only the salvation of Jesus Christ can save you from the lake of fire and eternal torment. Jesus loves you and he can forgive you of any sin that you have ever committed. Romans 5:8 - But God demonstrates his own love for us in this While we were still sinners Christ died for us.

      I had Jones 4/5, only had Gus winning round 3. Jones may not have landed the most strikes in round 1 and 2, but he landed the heaviest/most impactful strikes in those rounds. And Gus' takedown was a nothing-burger, no damage little control time not worth a score imo.

      Round 1: Gus
      I just rewatched and gave round 1 to Gus 100%. He caused cut damage, got a takedown, and got poked in the eye. It was still close. Jones landed great kicks. The takedown was huge, but Gus didn't accumulate any ground time at all.
      Round 2 John but can go either way. GUS was Building confidence. His hands were quicker and defending take downs was amazing. But Jones head kicks and leg kicks landed alot.
      Round 3 Gus again. Still close but Gus gets it.
      Leg kicks are starting to slow Gus mobility, but he still out striking Jones.
      Round 4 Jones
      Damn Gus had it the entire Round til that big spinning elbow landed flush and Jones won the round with the last minute. Without the Jones fury, Gus would have taken this round as well as the fight. Jones elbows are landing flush.
      Round 5 Jones
      Great heart and courage by Gus, but Jones completed the task while exhausted. This was the closest Jones ever came to a loss.
      Decision Jones, but my heart wanted Gus.
      I am happy either way. I think Gus had a better overall fight, but Jones had the bigger highlights. Plus, there is a human factor of when something big happens at the end it favors the recent momentum. Kinda a recency bias psychological thinking sort of thing.
      But what about that jaw of Gus. He can take a punch. I feel if Gus limited damage to his legs and had better mobility late in the fight then he would have won. He damn near had round 4 til Jones landed an fury from reaching deep down inside. Jones is the best fighter I ever seen. I'm happy he is back.

    i always thought gus's main problem was he would "spar" in fights. he resets position so much when its in his favor. instead of letting hi hands go when he has someone against the fence he would slide back to the center or not follow up on shots that at the very least stunned his opponent. I dont want to say he lacked the killer instinct but he let alot of guys including jon off the hook.

      @@tyson1972 I don't think either of the takedowns (by either fighter) should count for that much. They didn't do anything either them and the other guy got up almost straight away so they basically contributed nothing. I'd also say that whilst Gustafson had a higher volume of strikes to start with, he did almost no damage with any of them. Jones was only really in danger of getting a doctor's stoppage from that cut, whereas Gustafson was running for his life a multiple points throughout the fight. That should count for something.

    I think the only rounds you can clearly say someone won was 4 and 5 to Jones. Whilst Gustafson had some good moments in the first three rounds, Jones was also productive, so it would really be up to how you interpreted the impact of certain strikes (what's a leg kick worth, what's a block punch worth etc.).
