“He just was out that night,” Jones said on All The Smoke Fight. “He got to go back and get a sports psychiatrist first to put that back in his mind, because once that’s broken, that has to be fixed.” Jones believes too many fighters ignore the mental effects of a difficult loss. “A lot of time when they get broken, people don’t go back and fix that,” Jones said. “That has to be fixed first psychologically.” Despite that assessment, the former four-division world champion remains convinced Zayas can reclaim his place among boxing’s elite. “If it gets fixed psychologically,…

Since Al and Ramone gave me the wrong information?” Bill’s message came after Tank wrote: “When it comes to my career AL listens to me.. he’s still the man but w my career it’s my decision what I want to do.” The exchange follows…
