Gane proved that Aspinall could not have handled Jones.

Face it folks, Tom was getting out struck by Gane, but not by much, and that’s not what I’m talking about.

If he couldn’t deal with a Gane eye-poke, Jones would have used his eye-sockets to pull off the top of his skull like a zombie at a brain buffet.

 

[Poirierfan]

You mean Tom wouldn't have been able to handle Jon's eye pokes as well? It's literally the only thing the Gane fight proved. It didn't last long enough to "prove" anything.

 

[Othman]

Factual, Tom is jut not made for this

 

[nonoob]

Gane only proved he was slimy AF by doing his planned and intentional double eye-poke.

 

[Ares Black]

Lol no

[Angelassassin53]

Jones would've triple poked Eyespinall in half the time

 

[Bowel-forged Stool]

We all knew it. Jones did too.

Not even close

 

[stinkynecklace]

Would have been nice if they fought so we could see for ourselves. That used to be how the better fighter was determined.

 

[Ibm]

I can see Jones beating Tom after what I saw. But not the current version of Jones.

Even 40years old Jon beat this version of bum

Even 40years old Jon beat this version of bum

Then why did he vacate the belt and fake retire instead of doing that?

I was gonna pick Jones had he taken the Tom fight, but for some reason he just ducked Big Tom. It’s very obvious. Jonny fans can cope with Tom “quiting” and Gane looking good early on, but it does not change the fact that Jon straight up refused to fight Tom.

 

[AmonTobin]

Tom’s eyes proved they don’t handle full finger gouging well. No shit.

If jones thought he could beat him, he would’ve fought him when he had the chance, and he had many chances.

Because if good fighter step in the cage with Asp, this bum going to duck and fake injury anyway

Yep. Its not even primarily about who would have actually won, its that it tells you something about Jons personality. He is obviously an amazing fighter but he is also calculated and opportunistic and will do things to stack the deck even further in his favour in order to build up/protect his legacy. Poking eyes, stomping knees, taking PEDs, spending most of his career in a weight class where hes pretty much always the biggest strongest guy there, waiting for a guy he doesnt want to fight to leave before moving up to the weight class where that guy had the belt, stalling then fake retiring so he didnt have to fight the no1 contender who he didnt like the look of, then almost immediately coming out of retirement to fight a bigger star who he thinks will be an easier fight, etc etc.

 

[mangokush]

The Tom who showed up against Gane would have been fraud checked by Jones easily

He looked terrible out there, was too tense and winging shots while Gane was relaxed and was starting to get into a flowy state, could have been a UD loss for Tom

Tom has been wasting his time with too much social media & Eddie Hall

Not enough training, this NC should be a wake up call to take his training more seriously

 

[Thepaintbucket]

I guess we will never know since Jon would rather drop the HW belt and pretend to retire for a few months.

 

[FilipEmoFights]

Tom stated himself that he wanted to jab and hold Gane against the cage for a controversial split decision

Shoulda never said that cause he got the controversial part right and then made the split decision to quit

 

[Leinster Rugby]

Even 40years old Jon beat this version of bum

It's weird that when he had the opportunity to do so, that he chickened out repeatedly.

Isn't it.
