No one else is doing that to Jiri

[TerraRayzing]

Alex made it look easy but who else at LHW does that to Jiri? Rakic is definitely a top contender and Jiri fought him without a single care for defense, kept marching him down and eating shots until Rakic broke.
Jiri's offense is pretty much his defense as well. I imagine most fighters get terrified of this guy just charging forward, eating their best shots and creating car crashes. Alex is the only one, due to his power, to neutralize Jiri. I don't see any other LHW doing this.
Do you think Jiri is a definite number 2 at LHW? Do you see anyone else doing what Alex did to him?
Sure hope his chin isn't cracked tho. That was two KOs in one fight.

Jiri vs Ulberg

 

[ThaiSexPills]

I agree. Give him a tune up fight after a long time off. He could probably still be champ if not for Alex.

 

[Tweak896]

I wonder how Rountree vs Jiri would go. Jiri hasn't fought Hill or Rountree yet. He has some good fights at LHW.

 

[ElLunico]

KOing him sure but everyone lights Jiri up like a Christmas tree. It's just Alex power is ridiculous.

The Anthony Smith we saw at UFC 303 vs Jiri... can you imagine?

I agree. Jiri doesn't give them an ounce of respect but he respects Alex and for good reason.

This generation of LHWs aren't that good. We are going through some transitional period where guys are aging out or have aged out. UFC doesn't have all the top ten at LHW either so the division is a bit thin. Maybe thin is too harsh but anyone outside of the top ten has a good chance of jumping back in the rankings with a KO win. Volkan just did it with a win over Walker.

 

[Clark Rogers]

My fear for Jiri is after now 3 Alex KOs (he was cooked at the end of round 1 but got saved by the bell), his chin may not hold up to that style as well as it once did.

 

[Black Blood]

Maybe. Jiri's as good as his chin/toughness. Some chins hold out longer than others, but there comes a point where getting shut off means you can shut off more easily each time.

 

[BEATDOWNS]

lol Jiri was getting pieced up by Rakic. He is very hittable.

Jiri went life and death with a hundred year old Glover.

The best guys beat Glover without any trouble, back when he was younger and more athletic.

The style choice of 'get my ass kicked while trying to kick your ass' is not a long term, high level strategy. He's going to get KO'd more frequently without changes.

Would be an easy tune up fight for Jiri to get his mojo back. Plus smith would be running his mouth and Garner a bit of interest in fans wanting to see him get smashed.

Yep, old man Glover nearly won and I think if I remember correctly he almost finished Jiri a few times.

Jiri's style is tailor made for a disciplined technical power puncher like Poatan, it doesn't make it any less impressive though.

 

[PEDRO IVO RUSSO MIRANDA]

I think Hill could be a really bad matchup for Jiri.

He's a switcher, his boxing is really clean and he has fast hands.
Dont know if he can knock Jiri out, but I think he can counter Prochazka all nigth and at least in a 3 rounder a favor Hill over Jiri.

If prochazka doesn't get knocked down, I think he can overcome Hill by pure will and catch him in later rounds, so maybe he have a better chance in a 5 rounder.

it is actually a highly successful strategy. he literally became the UFC LHW champion and beat some of the current top LHWs using this strategy. just because 1 guy has seemingly got your number doesn't mean he should revamp his entire style because of a single dude. not only is that ridiculous it's most likely impossible.

Jiri's record speaks for itself.

96% finish rate, 30-3-1 record (if you subtract his 2 KO losses to Alex).

He can definitely beat most LHWs out there ... but not the best LHW, Alex.
