Trying to take away Reyes victory over Jones more than the NSAC did,you can go back to the shadow realms for all I care!
Reyes 123!
Reyes did good.
But in reality, it was more down to Jones than anything.
Reyes barely landed anything. Anyone who suggests otherwise has mediocre understanding of defense.
Show the fight to an astute, long time fan of boxing and you'll see exactly what I mean. MMA fans know nothing about defense.
If you go deep into scoring, you can argue that he won 123, but 2 was close
And the 4th and 5th were the most significant of the entire fight.
You can't claim robbery and conviction in victory when the dude got handled in the champ rounds.
Reyes did good. He challengedJones in the kicking realm, which he said he needed to do in order to attain victory.
But it wasn't enough
He could still barely hit him.
And took his feet off the gas when it mattered most.
I think we just have different definitions of what quantities victory.
And it's a testament to how good Jones is. Even miniscule victories stoke the flames.
Like I said earlier in the thread, this is a matter of levels in terms of analysis.
MMA analysts don't understand defense. It's that simple.
