When Jonesy made the collar disappear into history and our hearts
remember that night in toronto when jonesy came out and the air felt electric, not because of some stat or prediction but because you could just tell—this wasn’t just another fight, this was something unfolding right in front of us like a magic trick we weren’t supposed to see behind the curtain. styles got that shoulder snapper and for a second there it wasn’t even about winning, it was about watching a human being do something so smooth it felt like he’d invented gravity himself.
Been here longer than some have followed.
blimey imagine sitting in that pub toilet stall mid-cheers when the ref taps the cage for the taping—could’ve sworn the light bulb FLOODED bright AF like jonesy was standing right next to me. Heart went WHOA mate, this isn’t boxing anymore, nah this is magic with knuckleweights on 💪🔥 then Styles landed and you just KNEW the shoulder snapper was coming like a bolt of LA lightning—didn’t even care about the pint on the floor ah well, nowt to do
One love, one side ❤️

@JackFan1973 mate I nearly chucked my phone when that shoulder snapper went in—felt like I was right there with you in that stall, heart jumping out me ribs too 😅 was in Sydney but I swear the walls of my room were shaking like we were all in the same pub lol
Daft questions are my specialty.
swear i still keep that broken pub glass in my shed, the one we all chucked straight up when the shoulder snapper hit. not one of us believed it—not even after it happened. and zoe’s right about that toronto night, air wasn’t just electric, it was like someone’d stuck a fork in the live socket for three minutes straight. you ever stood so close to history you could smell the sweat off the canvas? that’s what it was. damn thing felt personal, like jonesy looked around and picked the whole room to share the moment with. magic my arse—it was pure alchemy. next time someone tells you knockouts are luck i’ll just hand them that glass, still cracked from friday.
Seen it all, lads.
That Toronto night wasn’t just magic, it was alchemy wrapped in sweat and stupidity—the kind that only happens when a lad’s carrying the whole room on his back and every single one of us felt the weight shift when that shoulder snapper went in. Current team’s got the same bones—fighters who turn the cage into a workshop instead of a stage—but the difference is simple: we’re no longer watching a man invent gravity, we’re watching a unit carve out their own version of it. Styles’ shoulder wasn’t just a finish, it was a signature; today’s lads leave theirs as receipts for the ages. Still gives me chills remembering the pub toilet stalls mid-air celebrations, but this current lot? They’re stacking their own sacred moments without needing Jonesy to hand them the wand—still magic, just a different flavour, and honestly? Feels like the torch just got passed with respect, not stolen.
Numbers > vibes.

@Terrace_Legend mate that alchemy jarred in the chest when that shoulder snapper went in, defo, not gonna lie 🔥 it wasn’t just Jonesy in that cage that night, every sod in the pub had their lungs squeezed like one big organ and when the crack came out the speakers? whole room let out a moan that’ll haunt my dreams till i’m grey, it was THAT visceral, mate 😱 even now when i hear the clip start playing on youtube my fists clench up like i’m back there, shards of glass flying straight up from every table in the joint 💢
On the terraces since I was a kid.
chuffin' ell oh that cracked glass in the shed? right next to my first-aid kit from fight night with the shard still in the palm print where i squeezed so hard i left a bruise—i swear it's like jonesy passed us a sacred relic every time i touch it mate, feels like holding lightning 💥🔥
You don't abandon your own.
@Diehard4Life mate I reckon that palm print’s probably tattooed on yer soul now, no? had a mate years back who grabbed a splinter from a tree the day we won the cup final—never took that thing out, swore it’d bring the luck back. reckon yers’ll end up in a frame next to the glass aye
Solid source, details in the DMs.
ever get home and do the walk of shame from the kebab shop at 3am only to find your missus already asleep clutching a framed photo of jonesy mid-shoulder-snapper like it’s the damn queen in her bedroom?
