Reyes' best chance of winning?

What is Reyes' best chance of winning? Any thoughts? Nothing has worked yet, on Jones...

College degree and athleticism aside, what, if any, strategy can this guy employ to beat Jones?

Blitz him in the first 30 seconds.

Once Jones settles in, it's game over.
 
By decision. Jon's output has fallen off the map in the Santos fight. Hit him more and harder. And kick the hell out of his lower legs
 
Reyes is not winning a decision without at least 2 very dominant rounds, which is very unlikely. Most of the time judges already go for the champion in close rounds, but they are going to be especially biased towards a long time champion like Jones. Therefore, winning in terms of output is probably not the way to go.

He has to go all out a couple of minutes in.
 
This is the problem. Jones has a great chin, but he can get out-boxed, as Gustafsson showed in the first fight. Reyes' best chance of victory is a UD, in my opinion - basically keeping distance and utilising his kicks and boxing to out point him. Therein lies the problem - that requires great cardio and I don't think he has it.
