Him and Thompson are up there. I trained with Wonderboy a couple years back and he was the best/nicest coach I’ve ever had. Trained super hard, made sure no one lost focus, and really drove in key details. I’ve never met or trained with Ciryl, but I’ve heard from friends of friends who have, that he is an absolute teddy bear.

[@C6LD]

Never thought I’d hear someone say Cyril is a bad defensive striker

[@dr.evil2some847]

He followed that by saying he has good footwork to help, but speaking to the limits in his defensive striking, I've always seen wat Jones is talking about here, but to ur point, I agree, and it almost doesn't make sense to say until someone like Jones says it...

[@Ivanmohler]

Tai caught him flush a few times but as far as hand placement and parrying it’s not that great but his head movement and footwork is great

At the live event, Dana knelt down and whispered in John’s ear for about 30 seconds right after the camera panned to Shavkat ( 26:52 ).

[@ForrestOutman]

Jon's commentary was really specific and clearly he has done his homework, this is the scariest Jon I think we've ever seen. He is super focused, clean, strong AF, and after the years of constant training his skill set must be both improved and hella sharp. Gane has a strikers chance still, as he's very fast, clean Mechanics, and has ko power. Very excited for this matchup to see where Jon's current skill set is. Three years is an insane amount of dedication to put into moving up to hw

Only hard for the first round lol. Look what a 20lb lighter stipe did to him as far as control.
