What does Jones and Wilder have in common?

[ZOD66]

Chicken legs!

So if people are so confident that Wilder does not have the genetics to withstand low kicks, why didn't any of Jones opponents exploit that? Reyes tried a little bit but that's about it.

Out of prime years

not sure a guy known for gassing in MMA making it 10 full rounds against arguably the absolute GOAT with flawless cardio proves the point you tried to make..


or the other guy can be the better grappler and get on top of you. you ever been gassed out and had to defend someone in full mount? disrupting your breathing, raining down punches, etc?

Yet the gassing guy HAS made it to the end of the 5th in MMA. He looked much less gassed vs Nate than he did vs Mayweather.
Mayweathers previous 7 opponents all made it to the end of the 12th too.

Jones will break his leg Cory Hill and Anderson Silva style by the time his career is over.

4 rounds of mma >>>>>> 12 rounds of boxing

Actually...no.
It would seem so, but it's something that has been measured over and over. Boxing consistently ranks as the most energy-spending sport in the olympics. Ask fighters who have done both, and the type of exhaustion is different.

You also gotta be conditioned for the specific demand of each game.

It's impossible to make these comparisons. You can be very fit (cardio), it doesn't mean you can survive a ball game like basketball or soccer played at a decent level. It all depends.

Boxing has been in the top of these measurements for a long time.

Rowing is number 39 - try rowing with experience rowers. You'll collapse quickly......

 

[Kono dio da!]

Jones will catch your leg if you kick him, or at least that's what most people are scared of.

 

[Mga223]

Its must easier to go 12 rounds boxing than 5 in MMA

Lmao conman showed this to be true.



Not

Leg kicks are risky business against jones, if he catches one you're probably getting taken down

 

[Stagliano]

They are both narcissists that believe they are gods and will never credit anyone else.

Lol do you really know Jones ? He always talk about Jésus and love to play the good Christian guy.

 

[swarrrm]

Both tall and christian.

Many of the greatest narcissists are christian/religious. Imagine thinking your important enough for your god to help you on your quest to physically harm others and make millions of dollars, but he ignores a million kids with cancer.

4 rounds of mma >>>>>> 12 rounds of boxing

Theres a 10 count in boxing, which means 1 boxing round >>> 1 MMA round.

I trained with some crique de soleil athletes and thats still the hardest thing ive ever done in my life.

He was breathing through his mouth after 3 or 4 rounds against Cormier. I would love to see him go 12 rounds of boxing.

Wrestling Cormier = Fury leaning on you for 4 seconds

1.) MMA is generally more tiring than boxing. This is especially true for Jon, given his grappling and kicking heavy style. Ruiz would gas after one round in the octagon.
2.) Jon's cardio is still better than 90% of his division. The Reyes fight could've gone either way. Jon would've soundly lost without his gas tank.
3.) No shit he's mouth breathing after 3 or 4 rounds. There isn't a fighter who isn't. That doesn't indicate that he's completely spent.

But DC wasnt the much bigger guy.

 

[TheJohnnyWalkerEra]

The main difference is that Jones is a smart guy

Wilder isn't the sharpest tool in the shed

Its not.

jon has not been grappling oriented in his style since 2012.... And grappling is not that tiring if you know how to conserve your energy and are used to grappling. And no, breathing through your mouth after 3 or 4 rounds in bad cardio. I saw the fight.

He's a runaway thug. They aren't known for their IQ.
