“Johnny Bones is a serious person especially when it comes to training and his teaching” – Claressa Shields
Claressa was quoted as saying, “Johnny Bones is a serious person especially when it comes to training and his teaching. We’ve had two classes where I spent countless hours with Johnny Bones and he was teaching me and breaking stuff down that looked so complex, but breaking it down into 1-2-3-4, breaking it down into steps from the beginning. So I look at him as a serious guy. So if I was to show (Jones) what I know in boxing and show me what he knows in MMA, I believe that when he learns these simple basics with his hands and how to stand. Aw man. I think he would be so freakin’ dangerous in boxing because he’s really just, inside that cage. I mean, we all seen it. He’s a dangerous guy.” [via BJPENN.com]
It is being said that Jon Jones, might make his heavyweight debut against the winner of a possible bout between Stipe Miocic and Francis Ngannou. He might probably even win the heavyweight title in only his first match.
