I was wrong. Griffin came in with a game plan, in addition to being in great shape, and beat the champ. I think Juanito Ibarra, Jackson's trainer, needs to retire and Jackson needs to get a whole new approach. His boxing looked really good but other than that I didn't see any signs of good work in the clinch or from the guard and to beat Griffin, Jackson needed to come with a multi-pronged attack.
Anyway, the rest of the card was decent, but there were a lot of decisions, at least on the main card. Tyson Griffin, the lightweight fighter from the Xtreme Couture camp, as well as Joe Stevenson (LW) and Josh Koscheck (WW), all move one step closer to a title shot in their respective weight classes.
Now it's time to wait for July 19th. We'll be watching the fights at my place that night around 9PM and anyone who wants to come by is more than welcome.
