I've thought quite a bit about this fight. The one thing I fear the most for Jones, is that he's coming into this fight with the right mindset. On the countdown, Jones said that he's been training the same way that he has for all of his fights, stating, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it."
The problem with that mindset, is that if he's doing the same training regimen as he did preparing for Gustafsson (who barely outpointed, and some feel Gustafsson won), then he's making a HUGE mistake with Teixeira. I'm hoping that Jones was just saying that to throw off Teixeira, and give him and his camp a false sense of hope, and that Jones will bring something to the table that we haven't seen like what he did when he first came to the UFC.
This was a hard pick for me, because I'm a big fan of both fighters, but thinking about what both fighters bring to the table, I'm going with Teixeira because he can end a fight with one punch, but if the fight gets out of the 3rd round, I think that Jones will win by decision or late round TKO.

BUT, I do detect some complacency/arrogance from Jones. And that will ultimately be his downfall. I don't think Glover will be the man to dethrone him, but it's coming. After that razor thin decision over Gus, he should be extremely motivated to improve. He hasn't been giving off that vibe.
Then again who knows. Maybe he worked his ass off and he's just playing it cool for the media,. We'll find out tonight.

Even then, that lucky punch is gonna be a ******* pain-in-the-ass to land. Like I have always said, Teixeira's boxing isn't good. He uses two punches all the time, there is nothing unless to him.
