I heard this was a controversial decision and MAB really deserved the nod, i would love to see this fight myself being a MAB fan. But i can't find it anywhere but for the people who have watched the fight, who do you think really deserved to win ?

I have the fight and I think MAB lost it, but not by much. Jones just had Barrera's number, in the same way Vernon Forrest has Mosleys. Just one of those awkward machups where somehow the inferior fighter has the egde.
Styles make fights an all:-\
Thanks for your input i'll rep you when i can, i think Junior Jones was a very good fighter except he had a suspect chin.Quote:

Jones landed straight right hands all night. Barrera was a sucker for it in both fights.

I don't think I've ever read anyone say MAB deserved the nod.
Not even hardcore MAB fans.
The fight was def. close as far as points spread goes but from an eyes point of view it was clear "Poison" had beat him.
A must see "Poison" fight is the rematch with John Michael Johnson. You often here about the McKinney and Ingle fight.
But the John M. Johnson rematch was fucken sweet. A fight that's entertaining from begining to end and def. a shocker!!!
Thanks for your input Junior Jones fights are very hard to come by, i always liked his fighting style especially his jab which was underrated.Quote:

Thinking theres no way Ingle was going to win the fight, then when i read he won i was in complete shock. Luckily someone taped it for me so i was able to watch it, that was a great win for british boxing.
I've often said "Poison" has one of the best jabs of all time def. top 10.Quote:

I agree with you there but what just shocked me i had a quick look up on his KO record, and i was shocked to see only 28 KO's out of 50 wins.Quote:

I always got the impression Junior Jones was a pretty hard puncher especially with his trademark right hand.
Make no mistake,Jones was a potent rangy hitter.Also could box ,solid combo's.The worst Ive seen Barrera layed out was off that 1st shot.Quote:

It's been a long time. I remember a great fight
Barrera lost this fight and i didn't think it could have gone either way Barrera gave a better account of himself from the 1st fight but still lost.
The Jones vs Mckinney was a funny fight in the 4th when jones was leaning through the ropes didn't have a clue what he was doing then at the finish when he just stumbles across the ring and falls flat dint half tickle me. He was meant to fight Naz after this fight it was on the undercard of Hamed vs Kelley it was a good exciting night at the Garden that. He was a good little fighter but with a weak chin i was really shocked when he beat Barrera 1st time it was a funny time in boxing Barrera getting beat by Jones Tyson getting beat by Holyfield and Kostya getting beat by Vince Phillips.
I've read it ;D and no it wasn't me who wrote it.Quote:

I'm pretty sure Ingle was a strong-ish favourite to beat Jones. Jones was considered well finished by then.. he was considered washed up a couple of years before when he KO'd Richard Evatt (Brit fighter), on the Naz-Ingle undercard, after getting floored early-doors and badly shaken a few times.Quote:

Although Jones seemed to have Barrera's number, if Barrera had rematched him a few years later instead of straight away, i reckon he'd of beaten him ;)
I've just had a result boys not only have i found Jones vs Barrera 2, i also found most of his fights to go along with it. So Missy and Fenster i know your big Barrera fan's like me check your pms :cool:
My Scorecard.
1 Jones
2 Barrera
3 Barrera
4 Barrera
5 Barrera
6 Barrera = Spicoli how the hell did you give that round to Jones ?
7 Jones
8 Jones
9 Jones 10-8
10 Jones
11 Jones
12 Barrera
114-113 Jones
I thought Barrera boxed brilliant in the first 6 rounds, his defense was much better than in the 1st fight. And he was countering over Jones's jab and being much more accurate. After the 6th round Jones took the fight to Barrera and upped his workrate. And he badly outworked Barrera in the last 5 rounds and started to land his right hand more and more and he seemed to want it that little bit more, although i can see an argument for Barrera winning because i thought the 1st and 11th rounds were close.
Yes Jones won, just knew how to handle MAB.
I think Barrera proved the 1st fight was a fluke by avoiding the shots and controlling the fight with his left hand. It was similar to his two fights with Pac in that in the 1st fight he boxed awfully but in the rematch he was concentrating and never came close to being in the same position. Problem is I think he made that his priority and he didnt press teh action enough .
Prime for prime though I think theres no doubt Barrera is the better fighter.
