Jauncey: 'We've got the antidote for 'The Doctor' Petrosyan'

Former world #1 lightweight Giorgio 'The Doctor' Petrosyan “a little past his best” and “can be broken”, according to his GLORY 25 MILAN opponent Josh ‘The Butcher’ Jauncey. The 22-year-old rising star, a finalist in the recent Lightweight Contender Tournament at GLORY 22 FRANCE, believes their Friday night encounter will be a passing of the torch from one generation to the next.

Petrosyan - nicknamed 'The Doctor' because of the surgical precision of his fighting style - had lost just one in eighty fights before he met Andy ‘The Machine' Ristie at GLORY 12 NEW YORK, and even that sole loss one he bitterly disputed.
