    Has gunn been fighting since he fought johnson in 2013?

    it's as risky as ricky hatton telling his fans to bet their houses on him beating mayweather lol. I wonder how many thick mancs did so

    Thats mental, your talking about putting all your money on a guy who hasn't fought in 4 years, not to mention he was never talented to begin with. There's a chance who could win but the risk is too large for a big big bet.

    Your better off on taking Garcia against Thurman even though I favour Thurman, Garcia is live.

    might be worth sticking 20-50 quid on it but nothing big lol. I'm still wounded that I didn't put £100 plus on Big Pricey getting starched. That was as close to a sure thing as you'll ever get.

    Jones looks like ****. Like he had to cut hard to make weight.

    Gunn looks impressive at first glance, but he's soft around the middle.

    Goes past three rounds Gunn wins. Jones is done.

    Jones has no chin, reflexes are gone and probably his stamina as well. Gunn will throw power punches, I think there is a big chance he will knock Jones' head off.

    I think that is risky despite how far Roy is from his prime. Gunn is not a world class boxer. A 30% Jones might be enough to beat him.

    I'm not saying Gunn has no chance. A puncher always has a chance especially against someone who should have retired a LONG time ago.

    You really only have to be aggressive, have high punch output and good stamina to beat RJJ these days. He really is a shell of a former great legend.

    The way that a shot to shinola Enzo knocked him out cold was proof.

    Gunn will likely lose. I hope it's a final fight and win prior to RJJ retires.

    There is a big chance, but it's no certainty as Gunn never was particularly good and is pretty much a granddad himself, to use your term. Do you want to be homeless? ;)
