Arguably the best pure boxing performance of Gus and JDS career but they had a very favorable opponent to get off and set up their work on to style on. Maybe the slowest/lumbering guy of both divisions, that couldn't take advantage of their weaknesses. Bem coukdnt cut the cage or get Juniors back to the cage and Glover was too slow to get anything going and couldn't get past the same jab and straight right Gus was playing off and to setup uppercuts. let's not forget Gus got outboxed by Jan a fight ago. JDS still had his weakness exposed badly his next fight and Gus weaknesses are still there, luckily for him 98% of the division is shit
Gus punching technique and transition looked better than ever. His overall MMA game having some of the best wrestling in division makes him tough to beat
But his exaggerated footwork that has got him tired late and porous defense are still there. He looked better in the 5th mostly due to improvement in punching technique he was getting his elbow back and making it straighter as opposed to the goofy loopy punches he had for uppercuts before
But he still covers high and ducks low which got him uppercutted to hell against Humble and DC. Gus weakness in defense there and with his clinch/inside game which Bones and DC took full advantage of are still there. Glover got to his hips easily early and seismic tossed him Gus is still very vulnerable on the inside and has bad defense. He can still beat anyone in the division outside of DC/Humble if Bones struggles to get inside Gus can beat him tho he's a clear underdog
