Jon Jones can't fight off the back foot

[Captain Herb]

Gus exploited this and Reyes beat him by making him move backwards. Stipe's corner was SCREAMING at him to close the distance when Jones turned and ran away. If Aspinall can get him moving backwards from the opening bell, he should have a lot of success. If he stands there and lets Jones kick out his knees, he's going to end up like Stipe. If I were Jones (who always works on a 'signature' move for each fight) I would definitely work on some kind of counter or take down off the back foot, because that's where he's going to be a lot and that's where he is most vulnerable. If I were Tom, I'd work on takedowns of my own. We haven't see Jones on the bottom, It's my guess he's not all that great from there.

'ok Dom we are going to sprint at Jon for the opening 3 rounds with pot shots and hope the judges see it our way... then just try not to die in rounds 4 and 5'

 

[Arm Barbarian]

Probably true, but it's easier said than done.

Charging at Jon is not without its risks.

Guy is a buzzsaw of kicks, knees and elbows and eye pokes.

Tom might be able to overwhelm him with his blitz, but he does need to be careful charging in.

 

[CasualBot]

It's fascinating both jon and tom have a DairyQueen loss on their record...

From using 12-6 elbows.

Weird.

 

[Kowboy On Sherdog]

True. You don't want Jon chasing you

How did YOU score the fight? Break it down for us.

Or just admit you didn't watch it.

 

[Fact Checker]

And which one of these slow plodding unathletic HW’s is going to exploit this supposed flaw? Gane is one of the best moving heavyweights and he got taken down for his efforts of overcommitting.


Jones has a higher chance of losing to a more agile LHW than anyone in the current HW roster.

 

[Harlekin]

You also move away from his left hand. If he still throws it, duck under it and move forward to your right/ his left.
Dead angle for him.

That's what Reyes did. Just focus on the left hand and kicks. Neglect his right hand. It's so much worse, you will see it coming anyway.
Even if it lands, it won't do as much damage.
Also when Jones switches stances to use his left either as jab or powerhand, exploit that with lowkicks or bodykicks. Depending on your stance.

Any of them could have done a much better job

Slow plodding and unathletic is not exactly the way I would describe Aspinall

 

[MEAN357]

Yeah press him and end up in the clinch taking knees and hellbows or getting taken down.

Great strategy tbh

Jones 1245, Reyes 3. Jones 145 is absolutely clear if you even try to assess damage as you're supposed to, and rounds two and three aren't actually difficult to score. And, of course, in retrospect it's pretty easy to tell who did the most damage in the first three rounds by noticing who was more broken in the last two, which is a problem with round-by-round scoring; later rounds really do provide information on what happened in earlier rounds.

Basically, Reyes didn't do anything that counted as progress towards finishing the fight while Jones was doing damage all fight except for in Round 3.

 

[BangBang]

Tom would need to figure out how to close the distance without getting his legs oblique kicked into Bolivia and back. Not and easy task with Jones' leg reach. Especially after Tom's broken leg, Jones' will be looking to injure and win by any means necessary.

OP is former Cat Zingano coach. Fired on fight night.

"She doesn't have any defensive technique. Just rush her."

Like I'm walking down the street, and I see Lyoto, and I scream at him that I am going to kick his ass, and then I just bum rush that fucker.



Thread title is fun: "jon jones can't fight..."

wtf?

That is the worst score I have ever seen.
