@AyyLmaonnaise 
lol you make it sound so easy, just had to circle around and jab hahaha. That shot Menifield got Jacoby with was not a short hook, Menifield’s arm was outstretched. Jacoby was playing a good game he just got caught with a very good strike, I’m amazed he didn’t get finished in there

@tazzman yeah I know easier said than done but Jacoby was so clearly the better fighter there. Alonzo was frozen by the jab and clearly slowing down but the power was the equalizer. What really annoys me was Jacoby getting knocked down in round 3 and instead of pushing a pace to win the round back, resorting to hugging against the cage; that’s just bad fight iq and not something such a veteran of the sport should be doing. Just a concerning performance from Jacoby
