gus fans are becoming to be the new bj penn fans
Tough fight for Gus. It's not improbable that he could utilize his footwork to stay away from JDS power, although I believe that JDS would land his overhand right at some point in the fight.
I think it's a pretty even matchup, but JDS would definitely be the favourite.
JDS has a heavier base, more power and a great chin, but he fades in later rounds, sometimes big.
Gustafsson has better footwork and angles, but less power and and is lighter. It's hard to say that JDS has a better chin, because Gustafsson has taken bombs and not gotten dropped.
Gustafsson is better with trips and in the clinch, but again, he is not as heavy and probably not as strong as JDS.
I see a hard fought decision win for JDS if he fights from the outside. If he takes it to Gustafsson and can walk him down, he might get the stoppage. That is hard if Gustafsson uses his footwork and fights like he did in the Jones fight though.
And he got better after that fight, tremendously. Each and each fight he gets better.
Its a toss up to be honest. Theres not as much difference between HW and LHW as you think, especially one of the biggest LHW's and a decent sized HW. Its not a huge difference, like say a LW fighting a MW
So now Shogun who people say needs to go to 185 hits as hard as dos santos. Dude physically speaking dos santos and shogun are completely different. You proved nothing
What are you talking about? The guy said he believed JDS would land his right hand at some point, so I posted a gif of Shogun (who obviously can't hit with nearly the speed or power of JDS) landing a right hand meaning JDS would as well.

Good post.
It's not often you actually see posters breaking stuff down reasonably and objectively.
Makes a nice change from the constant idiotic hyperbole
Fades in later rounds. He was still stuffing takedowns from Cain in the 5th and yes he faded but your telling me GUS wouldn't fade if Cain was on his ass for 25 minutes. Gus wouldn't make it that far with Cain but point is he would be gassed too. And Roy Nelson do you know how many punches JDS threw in that fight and carwin
so many dumbasses on this board these days. If they fought at a catch weight (weighed the same) jds would only have a slight power advantage and gus's boxing is cleaner with better defende. It would be an awesome war that any striking fan should be stoked to see. I'd pick jds but it would not be surprising for gus to take it.
