    I favour Zarate by ko but the Jones who beat Barrera twice could definitely win this. Thoughts?

    Zarate is a much different stylistic matchup for Jones than MAB was.

    Junior gets destroyed IMO.

    Jones gets executed, not because he's bad, just that a prime Zarate was extraordinary

    The Jones that beat Barrera even has no chance. He doesn’t have that reach advantage to get that right hand in and Zarate was sturdy. Zarate breaks him down boxing behind his jab before he wrecks him to the body.

    Jones on his best night still get starched by prime, or close to prime Zarate. Zarate was just on a different level . But Jones by no means was a stiff. He was a very good fighter.
