omnium Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 I think Jones skinny legs will be chopped down. This plus Jones has only been out of round 1 once. Shogun will take it into round 3-4 and cut him down with leg kicks. This is the hole in Jone's game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeeeeah your opinion is ignored because you just proved that you criticize with no support....Jones went the distance with Gusmao and Bonnar, and went to the second with Bader, that's three times he's been out of round 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattN Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 It's amazing that his punch lbs force is only half of what Cain V's is. And yet Cain is only about 10-15 lbs heavier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S6XStringz Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 Shogun has to get close enough to land those kicks. He does not have the lenght Jones has, and as soon he throws a kick, Jones will strike back with the hands and land a few shots and if he's smart he'll use that to take the fight to the ground. Jones is extremely fast. One kick would have to cripple jones completely to slow him down, because repetitive kicks would just put shogun in far too much danger from Jones hands with all that reach.

KingZerxst Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 >implying Jones won't be able to catch a leg / drag Shogun to the ground Not really partial to either fighter, although I like both.

IMO Jones is saying he can strike with Rua so that Rua may come into the fight tentative and Jones can get the fight to the ground quickly. Rua is by far the most eilte "aggressive" style striker in the division and arguably the most elite striker overall in the weight class. If you look at his fights, Jones does not use his reach in the striking department. He uses it to stay low and defend the TD with that awkward stance. Rua has faced fighters of similar body type, but none with the caliber of TD Jones has. If Rua comes out and finds his timing and range as quickly as he did with Machida, it will be a short night for Jones. It will be a crazy fight no matter who wins.

Enigma_Machine Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 imagine taking a leg kick like that... jeez one would hurt, i can't wait to see how many it will take to put jon jones down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GSP_riddum Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 since jones usually has that akward stance where he bends his legs alot, i think the best way for shogun is to get into his face with a low stance as well, keeping a low center of gravity to avoid the shoot and nullifying jones reach advantage. because jones has such a low stance shogun should be able to reach his head anyway and if jones tries to weave his head away that leaves his legs open for a brutal leg kick or maybe even a takedown for shogun. we havent seen anyone get in jones face yet and i think he wont know what to do when that happens. so my prediction is Shogun winning by brutal KO in the late second round/early third round.

Only 10-15 lbs, really?! Anyway, whats spectacular with both him and Cain is the timing of the strikes, any ****** bag can hit hard in a lab, I could probably kick harder than shogun due to pure overwhelming bulk and length of the leg(lol), doesn't mean I could hit anyone in a octagon does it? =P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been thinking all along, if Shogun can figure out Lyoto, he'll come in prepared to take out Jones. Leg kicks for two or three rounds and Jones will be limping around like Faber against Aldo. It'll also take away from his takedown ability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would also like to see the force of his straight right as opposed to the hookish style punch they measured. I have a feeling it would be closer to Velasquez in power.

juice64011 Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 Kicking a pad that doesn't move or counterpunch is a lot easier than kicking an opponent in a cage. Yes SHogun can kick hard but with Jon's reach it will be tough to pick him apart with leg kicks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magog Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 Anyone thought this was shown to prejudice the judges who already ruled leg kicks don't win fights?

bobilator Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 Rua is a great kicker , but kicking a awesome westler like Jones feel like suicide in a strategy point . Rua should keep it standing and try a over hand in the pocket , If i was Shogun i will try to exchange from the inside because Jones a huge reach and he a great westler so doing clinch + leg kick will not be smart .

Obviously Jones is going to try to take it to the ground but if they are standing do you not think that they are prepared for the leg kicks and have a plan?
