12th round TKO loss to Oscar Rivas... in a must win fight...
At a high level almost definitely. I like Jennings, good boxer and he did really well for having such a late start in the sport. He was working a regular full time job for most of his career, seems like a nice guy as well. Didn’t watch this full fight as I knew the result beforehand, but it’s a bad loss for him, Rivas doesn’t look that good imo. He could still be a very credible gatekeeper, but that’s a horrible way to live really. In non boxing terms he’s still a young man who can do other thing s and must have made some decent money.
I Think he was done after ortiz squashed him, good on him for taking on ortiz right after losing a decision to aged wladimir but he made a mistake taking that fight, in terms of his health and his long term career, he can still win some fights but being a contender is over for him, he could have v career like chisroa does but he's not as fun to watch so I guess his pay wouldn't be great.
He took up boxing pretty late too and only had around 20 amateur fights so to have the success he's had is pretty good..
I still think he could make Wilder look a bit silly, until Wilder decapitates him :S
He looked okay up until the last round, in fact I think he may have been ahead in the fight.
He's still not too bad and could be in some interesting fights, but he is obviously past his best and will never win a world title.
Jennings can still be in some decent fights, I had him ahead by a point after the 11th. He is a solid fringe contender/ gatekeeper.

Jennings lack of power has always been an issue.
He is destined to be a fringe contender who everyone beats up.
