It`s all in the shorts :-)

This is only the second time he has worn the lether-like side split "Vitoria" shorts, but the first time he has pulled the BadBoy shit off them since the big break.

I think he is rather superstitious. lol

Unfortunately for him though, his fight against Amada far from proved he is back despite him saying his arm is 150%.

[smacktime]

I reckoned that he has put on even more mass too.
looking good!

If his arm is 150% as you said, then i dont think he has anything to come back from.

I dont see him forgetting how to fight and i think he still has all the tools that made him the Lebanner of the past.

[killlah]

i see red gloves on every match after "The break" :)

I think he looked quite tenative against Amada and he seemed to breath heavy at the end of round 1.

As for the shorts the same goes for botha, after switching from his buffalo loin cloth to regular black trunks he swiftly got wins against lebanner, aerts and a very close decision loss to bonjasky. When he fought in his buffalo loin cloth he had five straight losses against guys like Fujimoto and abidi. It has to do with the shorts it can't be a coincident :D

alot of people in recent times scream about LeBanner always just using his jab, and not his left, but after watching a few pre-injury fights of him:

there too he used his jab way more than his left, maybe people just suddenly look closer at it today...

[MZN]

He kept is imposing look just like Bernardo did but that doesn't mean you're "back". I agree with boobs that his fight with Amada did not prove anything. He needs to beat someone serious(ly) hmm, perhaps the new champ or his nemesis mr. Perfect or Sefo the list is long :).

He needs to step in the ring with anyone willing to kick him.

2 years, 5 fights, and not one person has kicked to his left side. If his arm is 150% then why continue fighting no names and boxers?

What do you think about JLB vs. Botha? In my eyes JLB looked like way too "stiff". His kicks and knees didn't affect at all. It also looked like, that his hips/pelvis didn't follow kicks and knees. JLB got some decent shots in first two rounds, but Botha didn't have any trouble with those shots.
Where is that old powerhouse JLB, who crushed everybody, who stood against him.
