Jones has superior stamina for sure and has more proven power than Nwodo against higher level opposition. Jones throws a ton of punches for a Cruiser, he seriously outworked Johnny Nelson and overwhelmed Braithwaite, who was still a top 5 guy at the time. He also buzzed and stopped Davis at at time when he was still a top contender.
Dino Duva is pushing extremely hard for the Cunningham fight right now. It partially depends on whether or not the Oleg/Peter fight comes off on the said date.
Cool! Cunningham may be the fastest most dangerous cruiser out there but you have the power and chin to win and all you need is the ability to put on constant overwelming pressure. I know you've heard this a hundred times but just in case I would go to any means to improve add the weapon of stamina including reading all available literature, consulting all available sports doctors and trainers, and eating right. There are tons of sites like this one http://www.elitefitness.com/forum/professional-collegiate-sports/75380-any-endurance-athletes-out-there-print.html that I have not read yet but seems interesting. I just got some tea called yerba Mate thats has all the endurance qualities of tea and coffee yet is not supposed to give any tension (last thing you want with an experienced fighter). There are all kinds of tropical fruits and berries that are good to but I forget their names off hand. I have been hearing alot about pourridge. Just experiment and see what foods work . Varied and strenuos jumping excersises work both the lungs and legs.
Guillermo Jones is a very good boxer but I don't think he would have beaten the pre-Mormeck version of Braithwaite. Big Truck had proven his heart in his fights but he had lost much confidence : the first defeat is something in a boxing career (I imagine it's worse in a unification fight !). Jones is experienced and he had been Mormeck's sparring for Braithwaite : he knew exactly what he had to do. He was the worst possible opponent for a come back fight and the end of the fight was a bit strange...
Ding is on a good streak, needs a title fight, Jones is good, but inactive, Ding has a exciting style and would bring it to the crusiers,Haye is not known in the U.S. nor Enzo but bring on Mormeck or make Jones fight for a title
Sorry I watched his fight against Braithwaite and I wasn't surprised at all. Plus, the poor man seemed to have some stamina issues. His win over Wayne was a prematured stoppage and since he got a terrible cramp right after the end of the 4th round, I have no doubt Braithwaite would have beaten him if the ref let the fight continue.
Cramps have nothing to do with stamina issues. Jones at 200 pounds has ability to throw a large volume of punches over the distance. He did it against Tim Williamson in searing heat, badly outworked Sione Asipelli, Johnny Nelson, and even Braithwaite despite the cramping issues. Jones may be too old now and he's been inactive, but he's a very underrated fighter--awkward, hard to get inside on, throws punches at odd angles, and has power in the right hand. Noone has ever convincingly beaten the guy.
I was speaking with a strength and conditioning trainer and he mentioned some of the same things. Thanks alot for your help. For my next fights, I will finally have real training camps which include some much needed top level sparring as well.:thumbsup
Ding - I rate Guillermo Jones quite well, he's awkward and can fight in and out and has shown a sturdy jaw so far. What round do you think you'd get him in? Also, who do you have for Wayne vs. Enzo this weekend? I'm taking Wayne.
I think this is an extremely exciting fight based on their styles and flaws, and pretty suprised it hasn't been hyped up more.
Clear? Did you even see the fight? It was a shocking mess.One of the worst fights iv ever seen.Jones work was hardly much better and yes Nelson did get a home town draw but the there was no way he beat him clearly.The fight stunk.
I hear you have a computer firm of some sort? Whats it Ding enterprises or something like that? Maybe we could hook up.Im around your size and could do with some good sparring and could fix your PC`s aswell!
Ding! Your back. Welcome. No other recognized world class fighter comes to chat with us common folk. So thanks for hangin' out. Just think we have a future world champ hangin' out with us shootin' the **** like jesus did the disciples. By the buy, great highlight reel shite a few weeks back. That was some scary stuff man. I wanna see you in with the winner of mormeck/haye. Laters.
