Jones Jr blames his father for that loss, saying he made a conscience decision to loss. He made that choice in the fifth round of the fight. Jones says that is when he decided that he wasn't going to win the fight.

Jones Jr is quoted by Tim Smith of the New York Daily at the conference as saying: "If I had won the fight my father would have gotten all the glory and he didn't deserve it. If I had knocked out Tarver they would have said it was because of him. My father don't deserve this. Where were you the last 12 years? He's a sharp guy. Having him was more bad than good. He's a good boxing guy. He taught me. But he's not good for me.''"

What a joke ! ya know, take your loss like a man, " I didn’t want my father to get glory" LOL he lose that fight cause he got caught with that straight left he didn't see and got the Fu$#ed knocked out. Glen Johnson really canvased his ass unconsious for 5 min he was , I guess in that fight he didn't want his mother getting any glory?? LOL I hate excuses more than life itself. " He's washed up and old news. I hope he gets his ass knocked out again!
