Down by the River Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 I'll never root for Jon Jones, but I really don't think there is anyone that can beat him... at least not while he is in his prime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jones had a 5.5inch reach advantage on Gus and made use of it this time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyborg hasn't had tough enough competition to know what she needs to do to win (and not lose). Jones has fought some of the best. He's not going to get emotional and make stupid decisions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dominick Reyes. Just needs 2-3 more fights against top 5 guys to further develop. Absolutely demolished OSP who was his toughest competition to date. 10-0 6'4 and only 29 year.

In fighting anyone can get caught by a good punch Cyborg lost her mind after getting caught and let her ego get the best of her. Rather than backing off a regrouping from that sequence she decided to drop her head and just start swinging. Could've just as easily caught Nunes with the same punches she was dropped with. Control of emotions lost her that fight. She hasn't faced this kind of adversity since her very first fight (and loss). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HI5 Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Floyd Mayweather vs Tenshin card starts in an hour if any of you plan on being up late and want to check it out.

Now the book is out on how to beat Cyborg. Exactly the same way to beat Rousey. You just need to have more punching power to put Cyborg down than you do Rousey. I'll bet Holly Holm wants a rematch with Cyborg now. It was close the first time, but if she puts on more muscle, she has the striking skills to take her out if she can get off her punches as fast as Nunes did.
