Media hype convinced a lot of people. He got taken to school tonight and knocked down along the way. He's seemingly learned nothing judging by the post fight presser saying he was repeatedly head butted by a much bigger man and that he thought he did enough to win.
I was surprised at how well Sr. took this loss. He's accepted it as did Shields. CEJ however is still totally in denial.
CFT, you can't honestly believe Jr is world class after that, he had a good engine, good chin (dropped twice tonight though), is game and very brave but technically he is seriously poor, there is nothing world class about him technically. Can you imagine what Golovkin, Canelo or BJS would do to him? I now know why Sr didn't fancy Golovkin much, Golovkin would have ended his career, Canelo would beat him up and BJS would make him look ridiculous. Quite a long way back after that in my opinion, Jr has no belt, he isn't a SMW, he is not in the tournament any longer, he will be coming off a defeat and every fighter in the division knows what to do to give him serious problems, BJS and Groves wasn't just a coincidence.
