I got Poison, more so at 122. Natural size and he knew how to fight his range with snap power at the end. Problem was same as Nonito...they both fall in love with it and could get sloppy. You could see what happened to Donaire coming...sitting, loading up on one bomb and the babble about "5 division champ" blah blah was writing on the wall when he faced someone of like size and solid ground game who called bs on him. Jones struggled weight as 118 went and I attribute lose to Johnson to stamina as much as 'chin'. Jones had a chip on his shoulder and frankly proved he could live more boxing or with accurate power. Barrera did what he always did and it was no fluke...Jones stood with him and rifled the right hand for finish. It reads 'dq' and I love Mab...but make no mistake that was a KO. Jones relied too much on Barrera charging forward in rematch and Marco discovered this wonderful thing called diversity in style but I had Jones winning rematch by 2 points. That was an awesome fight! Nonito was reading the headlines and even in his last fight didn't have the gears to outbox Darchinyan...and relied on trap power. I think Jones would punch holes through that posturing and posing for a soild tko win.
