Semantics, and I think putting on some muscle will work for Gus. He relies too much on his elusiveness to get out of trouble. Trouble is with the faster more athletic LHW like AJ, it wont work. If he had enough strength to tie up AJ it would have saved him a nasty beat down. I dont want him to get huge, just put on more mass.
You are right but I don't think he needs to put on muscle to have a more effective clinch game. He needs to know how to dig his underhooks and know the correct head positioning to pin an opponent against the fence. Hitting the weights wouldn't hurt, but its not going to do much unless he makes a change in his technique first. He has enough strength for the division imo.
