I'm just going to make one distinction in this fight while bringing up how close the Gus fight was. There was a shit ton of money to potentially be made, if people knew how competitive Gus was going to make it, and if he won. Controversial or not, that decision could have gone to Gus, and no one would have batted more of an eyelash than already was. But here's the kicker.
Gus is more likely to take it to decision in making it competitive, than Glover is.
Glover is the type of guy to absorb punishment, but also finish a fucking fight.
Let Jones/Teixeira be competitve for even a moment, even if it means Glover touching Jones' chin a single time in the pocket or through a perfectly-timed counter (ala Bader), and the chance that the fight ends right there on the spot through T/KO is way higher.
Dropping money on Glover, at the those odds, thusly makes that much more sense if you're hoping for an upset. No one gave Gustafsson a chance, and he got that close. Same thing going on here, but with an animal that can actual KTFO you given that chance..
