I could see the result of that fight coming a mile away, as Jeremy, since his first fight, has been under the impression that his striking is great. Sadly Jeremy, it's really not. I've never seen someone throw arm-punches as obviously as Jeremy, the guy has NO snap at all to them. All it would have taken is one straight punch for Matt Brown to end it all, that fight lasted way longer than it should have.

I personally think the reason Jeremy does throw his punches like that is because he has no idea how to use his range. He thinks that by over-extending his punches, he'll disallow someone from getting inside, when really it has a counter-effect. Look at Anderson Silva, he uses his reach technically, and his strikes still have snap on them. Jeremy's a lanky guy, if someone shows him how to use his assets properly--something I'm surprise Juanito hasn't tried to correct--he would be a much better fighter.

Seeing Brown fail to capitalize on that was unimpressive. Countering those floundering punches that were coming from next door is beginner boxing and Matt didn't appear to know how to deal with it.

As for Juanito correcting Mays technical downfalls, how could he? May was sandbagging a knee injury and not training!! What a dickhead....he doesn't deserve anything better than a job at Burger King.

However, it's been apparent that his boxing is god-awful since his very first fight to even get into the house. It shocks me because Juanito is a great boxing coach, just look at how much more technical Quinton's boxing has become since training with him.

I just find it really surprising that a guy like me watching at home can point out where someone really needs work, and a professional trainer doesn't. Or maybe he has talked to May about correcting it, and he refuses? It should really be known as "constructed Reality TV", I hate that we never really get to see absolutely everything that's going down.
