I truly think he would have. Jon looked so human tonight. DC has to be kicking himself in the ass, ring rust was definitely a factor tonight.
Yep
Not sure; it looked like OSP's size/frame/reach was what was given Jones a lot of problems. DC is still about 5-6 inches shorter than Jon.
Na
It would have been his best shot
I think Jon would've been more fired up for that fight. Too many variables but if literally the same Jones tonight fought the DC that last fought then yea DC wins.
Ya I think he would of as well
Don't think so. OSP could hang because of his reach for the most part. Jones' length would've been too much for DC again.
No his reach is too short to ever beat Jones.
Yep.
illumination - It would have been his best shot.

"Beefcake" jones didn't really impress me. He never really bullied osp or showed he's the freak power lifter. This is a guy coming from a 3 week camp and cutting God knows how much weight. I think OSP's whole plan was just to survive and not get highlight reeled.
No.
Jones can hang back and kick people all night and win a decision if he wants. Against anyone
It's worked out well for Jones
He hasn't fought in well over a year and he got a tune up fight instead of DC immediately

Yea OSP looked bloated as hell, I think Jones could've finished him if he wanted to expose himself to more risks early on.
I think OSPs awkwardness, and athetism is was threw him off, but yah DCs best shot would've been tonight
FETT_buchu8oolong -This is what I was thinking throughout the fight. He definitely had some ring rust.illumination - It would have been his best shot.
But You know what I realized, Jon didn't finish OSP but he completely shut down his offense. If you had never watched OSP fight before you wouldn't be very impressed with his performance. Jon just makes good fighters look bad. He methodically breaks you down and sometimes it doesn't make for exciting fights because it slows down his opponents offense.

I don't know why Jones and everyone else is acting like he was off. It was a super dominating clinical performance.
Osp was just happy to be there and it's hard to finish a guy who is just out there trying to survive and claim a moral victory.
Jon struggles with guys the same or similar frame/size to him and DC kills himself to make weight at LHW with a small frame, if it was fought at HW DC wins imo at LHW it's closer.
