    He threw some very nice jabs on occasion, but doesn't know how to use it to set up anything
    -Has no clue how to work his way inside
    - Fights too tall
    - Has very poor punching technique and power. He was arm punching ffs
    -Has no counter-punching skills
    -No head movement
    -poor defense
    -gets hit with the same punches all night

    He can take a punch though.

    And this guy gave Crawford a better fight than Spence?

    He was way better then. Ever since moving up from 147 /getting KO’d by Crawford, he has looked absolutely shot.

    Kept doing this weird Muay Thai stance and eating jabs to the body. Looked like Tong Po.

    That fight was 5 years ago, and at a different weight, lol.

    Fighters change.

    He got shot in the leg. Power comes from the legs and body torque but Jose cant do that anymore cause of getting shot. His last great performance was against Crawford..where he won 3 rounds!

    Jose Jr could have been something better than a tune up. Everyone was saying he was a wiz kid back in the day, gym rat. 4 eyes. Seemed to have way more potential than David Benavidez.

    I remember when him and Frankie Gomez were supposed to be the super fight of the future
