Gustafsson is way better than people gave him credit for. Myself included. I always liked him, but he made me a fan Saturday!
Both.
But I didn't realize that Jones has no power at all on his hands. He didn't land punches. Even when he got that chance on 4th round. He had a minute to knock Gus out and tried everything, but a punch. Weird!
Did you see the thread for the Papy Abedi weigh in? How about the hype for Lombard, Overeem, Uriah hall, etc... And the insults grown at anyone saying Anderson could lose to Weidman. How about the brigade of people saying "Jones hellbows rd 1" leading up to the Gus fight.
This is a repeating trend that is only affecting a certain demographic of fighters. I'm not being racist by acknowledging that this site is pretty ridiculous in how get hype certain guys.
Jones' skill was overrated and his heart underrated.

both. gus looked way better than I expected and fought a perfect fight, but even so I still feel alotta people thought jones would handle him a lot easier than he did. I think we finally saw what happens when jones fights someone equal in size/age who is game and not afraid to bring the fight to him, instead of guys that are 5-10 years older, 6 feet with 74 inch reach and just stand right in front of him. jon is obviously an amazing talent but I think its now clear that he is not as impressive when his physical advantages are negated.
