Jones Jr. has excellent defense

In boxing, fighters are always on offense and defense. Jones Jr. is one of the best ever to throw defensive punches. Jabs are defensive punches. So are crosses and hooks. If Jones Jr. throws a hook or cross to prevent Tyson from setting his feet or getting to an advantageous spot, the punch will have done its job.

Also, Roy must wrap and pull Mike close to his chest when Tyson advances. Timing is crucial with this move because if Jones Jr. tries to wrap and pull too early, Iron Mike will make him pay.
