Jon Jones vs Reyes — biggest misconception

You missed the context. It was an example of me pointing out the culture of hatred that is stronger than any bias you perceived from me, which would be clear if you had read the message.

You understand aspects of coaching and fighting better. However, when it comes to the topics that I am a part of constantly, no. I think I have a far bigger understanding overall than you. When it comes to predicting hypothetical fights as well that I am interested in and then I study them, yes, I also think I know more than you.

Luffy I actually bet and make $ on fights. It's fine that you think you understand better, not a crime or anything. You're just wrong.
 
But I'd be interested in your thoughts if you watch the fight I posted above. Watch it with no narration (because it can influence how we see it) and give me your opinion justifying what you think.I'd appreciate that and appreciate whatever score you have if you explain why you got to that. I just want to debate with people that give me their inputs rather than feeding members throwing fits (not you tho ofc) and making comments that are useless and only meant for likes.I appreciate the way you approached it from the start though, I am all in for a nice exchange of ideas.
I re-watched the first three rounds and heres what I took away from it. While Jones rolled with many of Reyes strikes and took little damage his forward pressure accomplished only tiring Reyes leading to winning the final two rounds. Jones threw mostly oblique kicks which unless they hyper extend your knee (which they did not) they do literally no damage. Finally he attempted two takedowns in the third round and got neither. Reyes while not significantly damaging Jones landed both more shots and the harder ones in the first three rounds. He was obviously getting tired from the lateral movement he's known for and apparently kicked Jones, shin on shin many times (why he was on crutches after the fight).

Final thoughts are that even though the rounds were actually closer than I remember, Jones didn't really attempt many damaging strikes and though Reyes himself didn't land much of consequence it still outshone what Jones did.
