To this day I have no idea how Jones was able to make 118. He was fucking huge for a Bantamweight. He had power, heart and possessed great skills. His chin wasn't granite. But it wasn't the glass it was made out to be. Jones Achilles heel was that damn stamina. He would boarder on damn near exhaustion if he didn't pace himself
I think that played a big part in John m Johnson loss in hindsight. Sitting in the sun and just wearing down. Johnson was a solid fighter as well.

I liked watching Jones ride. He was a freak in build and as broad shouldered as a soild lightweight. The whole story, getting beat up by his sister ha. Always thought Eddie cook deserved the nod after a war with Julio. Style wise and State would would have been a great scrap. He had a short window but earlier meet with Canizales would have been a damn dream match up at 118. Solid guy and temperment gave up skillset sometimes but always fun. Not sure he really gets enough credit for beating Barrera twice though second saw Barrera make some adjustments and not play into that sharp right hand.
