His reach is best used for his eye pokes.

Reset like he did against Glover. Jones would not be able to land that elbow that was the turning point of the last fight.

Have Jones not be Jonny "Bones" Jones
If Jones is his old self or anywhere near it he wins.
If he is a shell of his old self and it really was steroids making him great (which I don't believe but many other posters seem to think) then Gus has a good chance.

Same as first, except with better cardio so he can push harder in rounds 4-5....i don't think the first was a fluke at all...styles make fights...i think this is jones hardest matchup just bc of the reach of gus.
Gus has to win 3 rounds on points that is his best bet......i see it going to a decision i don't see either guy putting the other away.
That said idk if he can do it though...i think jones cardio will outlast gus.....unless there is a plot twist because of the time off/usada stuff

Same thing he did last time but turn it up a notch. Everyone knows Gus couldve had Jones that day but he didnt finish the job so he lost a decision. He needs to come out the gate hard and dont let up until Jones folds.
I dont think Gus has it in him though. He just cant seem to cross that finish line. All the tools, missing on delivery.

This. Gus honestly didn't do a lot wrong last time.
Gus plan as per Gus himself is:
1) to keep constant pressure with offense and not give him any space, nullifying his most dangerous weapons
2) never relax for even a split second to avoid Jones pulling aces from his sleeve (Gus took headkick against DC as example)
3) keep pushing later in the rounds and in the 4th and 5 th. Says Jones is a very intelligent fighter in the way that he makes sure he leaves an impression on the judges by finishing strong.
I think is sounds like a decent strategy. Gus also said that becoming a father took off a lot of the pressure and this was the main reason he looked so good and fluid against Glover.
