Jones vs. Soto-Karass what's your verdict?

[JazMerkin]

I had Jones by a point as I scored the 2nd round a 10-8 round because I felt the ropes were all that was keeping JSK up. It was close though & I can see a win either way. I've got to say that the 97-93 scorecard was a disgrace imo. I also think this fight stands Jones in good stead & might just be the making of him, as I was unconvinced by him previously. I also agree with Spicoli about the Gomez fight, he definitely found a way out with JSK coming on.

Well I have a full rbr with my logic on there on the super thread. I put less emphasis on body language and more on clean effective punching. I had Jones ahead by quite a bit 97-93 some may call it a disgrace, and I can certainly understand scoring it for Karass. BUT Jones was still outlanding and cutting up Karass's face even while he was exhausted.

Again I am probably being about tainted but I had Jones ahead at the end of the day. If you go by points I can't see how you couldn't score the second round 10-8 for Jones. I didn't keep rounds I was a bit nervous for Mike in the mid drift. By about the eight or ninth I had Jones taking the fight back over.

I had to Karass by 3, but I need to watch it again.

Terrible decision.

A rematch wouldnt suffice because Jones just wouldnt punch himself out and would win next time but the damage has been done. Karass won that fight and it is a massive injustice. Hope Kell smashes that Yank.

I had Jones winning 6 rounds to 4. Just because a fighter is coming forward doesn't mean they are winning the fight.

This is ridiculous because Jones was so much better, but in the second round he punched himself out, that is the only reason it was close. The first two rounds he was completely dominating Soto-Karass, then he throw a punch of arm punches when he got him hurt and he had nothing left for nearly the entire fight. I think it was just the magnitude of the moment and him being a young fighter, but he looked really impressive those two first rounds, and really fast. I was more impressed by his speed than anyone else's that night.
