Nokweed was superior, he did the pressing and kept the center of the ring most of the fight No doubt if there was no round limit JLB would have lost running out of gas. He was 20 something back then, he wasn't as "complete" has he became later on. A year later already he learned his lesson and went more into hard strike. Because let's be honest, only blunt force on nokweed could have made the difference. A year or two later he KO'ed "Mr Perfect"/ernesto hoost, with fist and blunt force https://youtu.be/9zj924Gnvlw?t=510 And that's "recently", 6 years ago https://youtu.be/E1-wkd7fJoA?t=1144, he was 42... The beef lol Imagine he would have hit nokweed like that ... Anyway, he never was a great champion, in the sense that he didn't win that many titles But he was a great competitor, he was finalist in pretty much all championships It's the typical underboss
