      Gus fell off after the Glover win (also the last win of his career to date), after that he start to lose in worse and worse fashion. The Anthony Smith loss was where everyone watching could tell Alex was completely washed, he should have stayed retired.

      Where will your soul go when you die? Heaven or Hell??? God will not put up with our sinful behavior. Repent and accept Jesus into your heart and you will be saved. BEWARE!!!! Hell Is real and only the salvation of Jesus Christ can save you from the lake of fire and eternal torment. Jesus loves you and he can forgive you of any sin that you have ever committed. Romans 5:8 - But God demonstrates his own love for us in this While we were still sinners Christ died for us.

      Round 1: Gus
      I just rewatched and gave round 1 to Gus 100%. He caused cut damage, got a takedown, and got poked in the eye. It was still close. Jones landed great kicks. The takedown was huge, but Gus didn't accumulate any ground time at all.
      Round 2 John but can go either way. GUS was Building confidence. His hands were quicker and defending take downs was amazing. But Jones head kicks and leg kicks landed alot.
      Round 3 Gus again. Still close but Gus gets it.
      Leg kicks are starting to slow Gus mobility, but he still out striking Jones.
      Round 4 Jones
      Damn Gus had it the entire Round til that big spinning elbow landed flush and Jones won the round with the last minute. Without the Jones fury, Gus would have taken this round as well as the fight. Jones elbows are landing flush.
      Round 5 Jones
      Great heart and courage by Gus, but Jones completed the task while exhausted. This was the closest Jones ever came to a loss.
      Decision Jones, but my heart wanted Gus.
      I am happy either way. I think Gus had a better overall fight, but Jones had the bigger highlights. Plus, there is a human factor of when something big happens at the end it favors the recent momentum. Kinda a recency bias psychological thinking sort of thing.
      But what about that jaw of Gus. He can take a punch. I feel if Gus limited damage to his legs and had better mobility late in the fight then he would have won. He damn near had round 4 til Jones landed an fury from reaching deep down inside. Jones is the best fighter I ever seen. I'm happy he is back.

      @@Andrew-cs1td It's a funny interpretation but opening a cut above the eye could result in a stoppage. So, in that way, it does contribute more towards ending the fight than a heavy shot. I wouldn't necessarily judge it that way, but I can see how that argument might be made.

    i always thought gus's main problem was he would "spar" in fights. he resets position so much when its in his favor. instead of letting hi hands go when he has someone against the fence he would slide back to the center or not follow up on shots that at the very least stunned his opponent. I dont want to say he lacked the killer instinct but he let alot of guys including jon off the hook.

      @@tyson1972 I don't think either of the takedowns (by either fighter) should count for that much. They didn't do anything either them and the other guy got up almost straight away so they basically contributed nothing. I'd also say that whilst Gustafson had a higher volume of strikes to start with, he did almost no damage with any of them. Jones was only really in danger of getting a doctor's stoppage from that cut, whereas Gustafson was running for his life a multiple points throughout the fight. That should count for something.

    Gustafsson was probably winning 2-1 going to the championships rounds but Jones dig deep and was so good those final two rounds. Razor thin but those final two rounds were a total gutcheck for Jones. Incredible stuff.

      Eh, how do you give Jones round 4? He did not sit Gustafsson down and most of his strikes was blocked during those 52 second where Jones were better in that round. And he clearly lost significant strikes and total strikes in that round.

      Where will your soul go when you die? Heaven or Hell??? God will not put up with our sinful behavior. Repent and accept Jesus into your heart and you will be saved. BEWARE!!!! Hell Is real and only the salvation of Jesus Christ can save you from the lake of fire and eternal torment. Jesus loves you and he can forgive you of any sin that you have ever committed. Romans 5:8 - But God demonstrates his own love for us in this While we were still sinners Christ died for us.

      Makes me wonder how young John would have fared with the low calf kick early in his career.
