    Idk, Jai had Glaton hurt numerous of times, especially in the 12th were it looked like Jai could have pushed Glaton over and at least scored a knock down.

    Weak division. Kovalev still at #12.

    Maybe a ref stoppage, I doubt he'd have dropped him.

    I think for two reasons:

    1. His stamina is bad. He usually starts off fast and puts everything into his shots, which leave him drained mid and late.
    2. He has a shaky chin. He is easily buzzed and clipped. If he were to gas against a seemingly decent puncher in Blanton, there was a chance he would get dropped.

    No, Glanton has an iron chin.

    I think all 3 fights were very close. Brieidis was just that good even when past his best.

    I've seen it, but not too often. I think fighters should always bring all their belts to a fight.

    Especially if they've never lost them in the ring.

    I like him saying he doesn't care if he's stripped, he'll just win it back again like before

    yes, hes good enough to beat some, cause theres some useless lumps at hw, but a more skilled hw than glanton, and there are some of those as well, would give him nightmares.

    Jai when he goes long is naturally cautious, remember his nightmarish final rounds against Briedis both times. They've clearly mentally scarred him.
